Go and talk to the teacher. Find out what the situation is and what can be done to help it. If the situation is simply the teacher then talk to the principle, or have your child moved to a different english class.

Wow, a twelve year old's fight could end up in a fine and possible time in juvenile hall? Where I live, fights might end in suspensions, but no charges are filed unless a group of kids jump a single defenseless kid and serious damage is done. You should talk to your son's teacher, or school principle. Tell them what's happening with your son and that you want him to be monitored. Tell them that you told your son to try to avoid conflict if it's possible, but that he'll defend himself if someone attacks him - it's a safety issue. Be straight up about any previous disciplinary issues he's had. Explain that you know he's had problems in the past, you're perfectly aware that the fight earlier this year was your son's responsibility and that you've dealt with the situation at home. Now you want your son to understand that other kids will be held to the same standard that he was. If there's any physical evidence that he's being harassed, like emails or MySpace comments or just regular old notes you find in his bookbag or something, share the evidence with the school authorities. This prepares them to see the situation more objectively. Good luck!

Man, your really going to have your son hating your guts by the time he reaches 13. How about doing the sensible thing, contact the teacher, set up an appointment to talk with him/her about the situation. BUT, let me give you some advice first. Don't go there pre-hating that teacher. They see your child more in one day than you do probably. Go there with an open mind, ask questions but otherwise KEEP your mouth shut. I already can see what kind of person you no doubt are just by reading a few things you've posted here on Q&A. It very well could be that your son is having a problem at this school. But, go there, and find out. Remember though, ask, then shut up so you can hear the answers. Hope this helps you out.

Schedule a conference with the teacher. Find out what the situation is. Talk with the teacher to voice your concerns and hear what their perception of the situation is. If that doesn't work, schedule a meeting with the principal and the teacher to try and resolve the situation.

Schedule a conference with the teacher and speak with her about you and your son's concerns. Try not to have a 'confronting' tone until you can feel her out. Ask her what you can do to help improve the relationship between her and your son. If she seems to be uncooperative or becomes defensive, go above her head and schedule a conference with the school's principal and voice your concerns to him.

I would speak to the principal of the school. Learning should be a good experience.

Talk to the teacher, if that doesn't work, then make a complaint
