My son's teacher is continuously asking him and his other classmates questions she should be asking parents as if she is a drill sargent, like he missed school one day and she drilled him for minutes on end, while class was going on, he makes excellent grades has missed maybe three days with Dr. excuses due to being ill, and she seems to drill these kids, how do I approach her about this without being snobby? He is becoming hesitant about going to school..

UHHH DUHHHH...Hey Cyra...did you even read the question, you MORON!!! This is about attendance with a Dr.s excuse and it is NOT just my child but also others..some of "you" people should have actually went to school and learned how to read before opening your F****** mouth! BEATCH! And MY child is PERFECT!

I apologize for my above rant, it is just that I am sick of all the rude and obnoxious comments on here especially when I politely asked what to do in order to keep the peace, if the person I was referring to had actually read my above statments they would have seen that this wasn't an attitude or behavior problem on my son's part, this was the teacher drilling him as to why he didn't come to school when it was clearly written on the excuse, and if she had questions they could've been directed to me or even the doctor I had no problem with that, as I stated it wasn't just my child and you saw my temper because I don't like it when people jump to conclusions ( which I did not to do in regards to the teacher, this has happned before) and I don't like it when someone disrespects my son without knowing him , My gosh he is 8 yrs old, wanna p.... me off that is the way to do it, sorry!

Don't stand back and allow it to happen. It is your right as a parent to find out what the problem is. I wouldn't hesitate to make an appointment with her ask her what is actually happening in the classroom! I wouldn't worry about being snooty! She sounds as if she doesn't treat these kids fairly and it needs to come to an end.

Simply tell the teecher that your child was concerned and have her address any attendance questions to you. This can be done in a professional way without stepping on toes. Teachers do ask questions to get a feel for the student and their homelife. The better you know a kid the better job you can do of understanding and teaching them. I ask my kiids questions like
Who's at home when you get there?- tells me who can help with homework or read to/with them
Were you sick (after an absence)- Let's me know to monitor how they're feeling during the day.
She could have a different reason but be clear with what you want and make it about how your child feels not about the two of you.

Ask to meet with the teacher. Tell them your concern and give them a chance to explain. You know you child the best. Maybe there is a miscommunication. Suggest a better way for the teacher to handle it. Let them know if they have any questions to contact you about it. Then monitor the situation. If it doesn't change talk to the principal or the school board.

Talk to the teacher!!!, It is very important to let her know how you and your child feel. If this does not resolve the problem, go to the principal. Having an open relationship with your childs teacher, and letting her know that the things she says and how she acts gets told to you by your child helps a lot. I had an issue with a teacher last year, I let her know I was aware of some comments she made, she took the time to explain what was said. I still didnt like what was said and let her know my view of the situation. She was much friendlier with my child and me.

I would go to the head of the school and report her for acting like a drill Sargent.we had this with one of the teachers but it was sorted out by going to the head and we got an apology from the teacher

Talk to her about it. Tell her how your son feels uncomfortable when she asks him all those questions. And let her know this makes him hesitate to come to class. There may be other issues you dont know about and she might be able to enlighten you. Tell her that in the future she can call you or set up a meeting to discuss things she wants to know instead of asking your son. If she still seems like a problem, then I would go to the prinicpal.
Good luck.

Hell forget about worrying about her feelings at all...Tell her that if she has a question about were your son was tell her to contact you. If you are still nervous talk to the principal instead. They are usually very helpful in these situations. I bet that teacher has ten year and they are having a hard time getting rid of her..she doesn't seem to be that great of a teacher..(should be a little more compassionate with the kids)

I am a teacher. Talk to the teacher about it. Your son may be exagerrating. If you get the sense from her that he is right, then talk to the principal. A lot of parents come in mad because of what the kids tell them, but then when they talk to me they understand context, and hear details their child convieniently left out, they are more understanding. Don't get me wonrg, I know a lot of crap teachers, but at least give her the chance to explain. Then go to the principal. They know the problem teachers, anyway.

GOOD, the teacher is going her job. Leave her alone.
Tell your kid to get over it.
Perhaps if parents taught your kids how to behave and act properly, the teacher wouldn't have to be a drill sargent to get their attention and be able to dedicate more time to the kids - teaching them.
Parents are SO fast to blame the teacher and automatically believe a child over a trained professional adult.
Your child is most likely causeing the teacher to behave that way or is making it up. Ever sit in your child's classroom for a whole day and watch for yourself? What reason would a teacher have to single out your child - COME ON. Grow up and stop coddleing your kid.

don't approach the teacher. go to the principal first.
and get it through your head that the way children are with YOU is not how children are with teachers.
your kid is probably a sneak. which is ok. all kids go through something.
but yes, go to the principal and schedule a meeting. then it is witnessed, etc.
hahahahah i just read the added comments by the writer. maybe that is the same thing her child does....all nice and then BEOTCH blah blah blah.
the nut never falls far from the tree.
