I'm in a custody battle and my childs 5th grade teacher sent a letter full of lies to my ex ( school records reflect differently.) Now she has called social services and they had to go out and talk to my kids, who are now embarrassed (we live in a small town). I have called the school board and they have done nothing. What should I do. They are hurting my kids!!!

Oh! That is horrible! How are your kids doing? I agree wit h shelly0008. You should keep your cool but be upfront and inform her in a tone that says BACK OFF!!!!! (dont say that but u no wat i mean. You should go to the press, to meetings however you can get through to the other parents in your child's class and g3et them all fired up about it and SHE'LL be the one who's emarresed, or you can even go to the police if you have to. Then she will be in public shame! You can have her fired! She has no business in your custody battle, and that is an invasion of privacy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope she gets fired, embaressed, and shamed. I would be so livid if I were in this situation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PRINCIPLE I: Ethical Conduct toward Students
PRINCIPLE II: Ethical Conduct toward Practices and Performance
PRINCIPLE III: Ethical Conduct toward Professional Colleagues
PRINCIPLE IV: Ethical Conduct toward Parents and Community
You have the right as a parent to file a complaint with your local school board concerning this teacher. The teacher has a right however to report to Social Services concerning your children if she suspects child abuse of any kind. She is a mandated reported by law.
Do you or your husband have custody of the kids? I understand you are in a custody battle, however the judge has probably awarded one of you at least temporary custody of the children until a final hearing and decree is made.
Why would the teach seek out your soon to be ex husband concerning the children? She should have tried to talk with both of you concerning the kids ( you cant keep you ex out of the loop concerning the kids unless you have a court order) as that is what she needs to do raather than stirring up trouble. She isnt the one who decides who has the kids or not.
If the kids are living with you and going to school in the town where you live and live there with you in your home, she should have contacted you. If there is indeed a problem with the children that require the attention of both parents then you shold be the one to make that choice not her. She has no right to assume nor make any choices concerning your kids without your permission except as noted above.

I would alert a government official or move out of town cuz that teacher should like she doesn't not like you or your ex told her something you don't know?
But I would try to go to the school board again and tell them if somethings not done about this issue I will go to Springfield if you live in Illinois or a Government place!!!
I feel bad for you and I hope you get everything straighten out.

First of all she has no business in your personal affairs as long as your child is in no danger. Secondly, I'd contact my lawyer and talk it over with him/her, they'll give you the best advice. Third contact THIS teacher yourself. Let her know you don't appreciate her comments to your ex and to stay out of it. Keep your cool but be upfront and honest. Best of luck to you!

Teachers are required by law to contact children's services if they expect there is some type of abuse. Usually, the teacher contacts the school nurse, guidance counselor, and/or principal, and one of them contacts children's services.

Tell the teacher you will kick her to the street if she brings your ex into ANYTHING again!
Ask for an interdistrict transfer, home school them, or file a report with the police!
