My sons teacher cant stand him. She marks his behavior card for everything. On the first day of school she told him that she could tell they were going to "butt horns". How can you tell a 11yo kid this. Once she signed for him chewing on his necklace while he was doing his work. She took it I had to go pick it up. Then for having his hoodie on at the end of the day when they were packing to leave. Once he didnt get it signed at all so when she gave hime his card with no marks he got excited and said "yes" she immediatly took it from him and signed it . I have tried to talk to her about this but she doesn't see where she is wrong., Help! What can I do?

Have you talked to the principal about this? Maybe you could get his class switched. This sounds like a big problem and if the teacher doesn't see where she's wrong she's not going to change. I would speak to the principal!!

Well the most obvious thing to do is call the principal and discuss the situation. I would request that he be put in a different class, you have the right to request this. If the Principal wont do anything tell him/her that you are going to contact the school board. Make sure that your son is in fact not misbehaving in school and causeing this first. It is hard to believe as a parent that our kids are doing anything wrong but in fact sometimes they are the ones causeing the problems. Other than that it sounds to me that this teacher, has issues with your son and has marked him out from the rest of the class. Maybe this is a cycle for her each year. It is your job as a mom to protect your son so call the school without delay.

Sounds significantly like psychological bullying to me... Schedule a meeting between the principal and the teacher and voice your concerns to both of them.
One thing you need to think about is the school dress code regarding the hoodie - It may be considered as a hat. If hats aren't allowed, then you may have some trouble fighting this one.
Regarding jewelry, it's his necklace, she shouldn't be getting on him for something you bought for him if it's allowed by the dress code. It's your job to get on him for chewing on his jewelry.
Talk to your son too, give him some reassurance and tell him to not take it personally. He's at a very impressionable age and being told day after day after day that he's bad and wrong and no good by this teacher is going to affect him significantly if it continues.

Have a meeting with the principal,teacher you and your son and lay it all out! Also if you do decide to have a meeting bring a small tape recorder and keep it on in your purse. Some teachers have serious problems, I'm 27 now but when I was 12 I had a female teacher that hated me and the meeting really resolved it. My mother scared her by telling her she was going to come to school everyday and sit through my class with me. Hey, it worked . The teacher never messed with me again. Also just expalin to your son that some people are miserable and it's not his fault , tell him to be tough and not let her bother him!

That is horrid, Iam so sorry you & your son should never have to deal w/ this. I would go right t the principial & he/she should set up a parent teacher meeting w/ principal present if that does not help I would demand my son be transfered to another teacher in that grade, experiances like this are what makes children hate school & make thepricipal aware of your feelings & talk to other parents, maybe they are having some of te same problems.

Talk to the principal about her behaviour, is she like this with any other students. My son went through the same thing, if he got his home work all correct she'd say "did your mommy do it for you?" She was always negative. She told him no matter how badly he did in her class, she would pass him cuz she didn't want to have him for another year. I went to the principal with the things she said and he thought I was over reacting and asked her. She ADMITTED IT! She said there was just something she didn't like about my son. I complained to the school board and she was "retired" the next year.

You need to go above the teacher's head on this one. Speak to the head of the school. See if you can get your child transferred to another class. But you must do something because you don't want your child getting a reputation amongst the staff for being "difficult" as it will affect how he is treated.
Go up the ladder until you get satisfaction.

Talk to the teacher if that does not work go to the principle. A teacher has no right to pick on students , since you have talked to her go to the principle. A teacher is so wrong to treat a student like that.

go straight to the school board, I had a problem with a teacher last year and the principle wouldn't help me. Have him moved to a new class and don't take no for a answer your the parent you are in charge not them

Talk to the principal, file a complaint, and have him moved to another class. Also, document if any other kids get treated this way by her for more evidence.
