When my son brought home that report card yesterday I was outraged!! How dare she give my son a B!! My son is a straight A student. He told me that the teacher gave him that grade because she doesn't like his hair cut. Well I wasn't standing for that! I marched right up to that school, found that teacher, and hauled off and slapped her a good one. You should have seen her head spin when my hand met her face. She was stunned. What was wrong with doing that?? My son needs all A's!

Hello mamabag06! What is wrong with that? Well, I admit slapping the teacher felt sooooooo good, am I right? But come to think of it, is there something good that will happen if you slap her? Will your son's grade change? The answer is no. I understand how you must've felt that way but it wasn't the wisest thing to do mamabag.
You know what mamabag06, when I was in high school before I had this teacher who gave a grade to this student higher than mine. But did you know that that student doesn't even go to school often? He doesn't do his homeworks, doesn't participate in recitations but he got a higher grade than mine. It was so unfair because he gave him a higher grade just because they were close. But what's done is done. I can't change the grades my teacher gave me. What I did was I showed him that I was taught not to mind those simple things because it wasn't even worth my time. Show the teacher that she can't beat you no matter what she does.
You know what, next time give your son a nice hair cut. Ahehehe... I'm sure that teacher will be surprised and it's like you slapped her hard on her face. Ahehehe... Just don't do it again mamabag ok? Be a good example to your son. I hope somehow I was able to help you mamabag06. ^__^

Ok! Your actually going to believe that a teacher gave your son a B over his hair cut......are you out of your mind?? That was very childish and stupid of you and I hope she presses charges against you! You need to grow up...if anything you should have went up there and had a conference with her about the situation and found why his grade was REALLY a B. Then punished your son over it. And I guess now I can see why your son made up a stupid lie like that prolly because he is scared of you...did you ever think that maybe he is struggling in that subject? You should just try to be there for him and help him get his grade up not go slapping his teachers!

In my personal opinion, you need to go to jail for assault and
get some some counseling. You will be very lucky if the
teacher doesn't file charges. She has quite awhile to do so
given the statute of limitations on that.
If you mentioned the incident to your son, or if he observed it,
it sets a very bad example for him. That is certainly not a way
for an intelligent, responsible adult to act.
The proper way to go about it would be to have discussed the
grade calmly with the teacher and ask to look over the assignment or test she graded him on to see if his answers were
actually right.
My guess, from your behavior, is that you wouldn't have been
able to tell if you son's answers were right or wrong.
BTW, your son does not need all A's to succeed. I had a B avg
in high school. I not only got accepted to college, I recieved a full scholarship. I got my degree and, now, have a very good job.
I'm also happily married with 2 children.
If your child does his best, it shouldn't matter even if he gets a D.

mamabag, I am sure you are one of those whose words are louder than actions. You probably have been pounding about how to slap the teacher a good one and justifying it in the past week. Anyhow, get your son a better haircut so he wouldn't get a B again, or tell him to get on the studies instead of finding lame excuses to cover his own slacks.
Oh, is slapping a teacher for that is wrong? Then she could come back to pull a portion of your hair off, and claim that you've harmed her first. Damn, just sounds two much like the story between two Near East Countries to me.

Well aside from that being consider simple assault and being AGAINST THE LAW you are actually taking the word of your kid over the teachers before you even ask her to show you the paperwork that got him the B in the first place? Hello?? Kids don't get grades except in conduct unless it's on actual work produced you should have been a sensible grown up and approached this the correct way. Hope no legal action comes against you for this...if so your screwed.

What a great role model you must be. Your sons NEEDS A's? What ever happened to EARNING them. There is more going on than your son told you. Maybe he did not complete an assignment, failed a test, missed school, maybe he cuts up in that class.
You were way out of line and should be arrested for assult. At least that way your son will learn something positive from you. Will learn you cannot beat people without being punished for it. Sounds like you want everything handed to you and your son without having to earn it.

There a whole lot wrong with what you did!!! I'm wondering how old you are for one. Didn't you even discuss this with the teacher before you acted? It doesn't look like it from what you wrote here. And I'm surprised that you weren't arrested on the spot. What kind of role model are you for your son and others? Those kinds of lessons from role models, particularly parents, are not only scarey for the population but also for the future generations. Lessons like this from authority figures are what produces serial killers, wackos of every kind and description, student killers, drug addicts, etc., etc. etc. the list is endless. People/parents like you need SERIOUS HELP!!! ...very scarey!!! I sincerely hope you get some help immediately!

Well, his teacher was wrong and childish for lowering his grade because she didn't like his haircut, but physical violence isn't right either. You're teaching your son that it's OK to hit people who make him mad. Imagine what kind of world we would live in if everyone took on that mentality. I think you should try to make ammends with his teacher now and let your son know that it wasn't cool for you to hit his teacher. My aunt's mother slapped a nun across the face when my aunt was in school because the nun bruised her knuckles with a ruler in class. Violence is a vicious cycle.

Just one question - did you bother to see what the teacher said about it before slapping her? Maybe your son was just unhappy that he didn't get an A, so he blamed it on the teacher because he knew you'd get mad - I assume you would, since you did slap some lady with little evidence to your reasoning.
Basically, what's wrong is that you don't have a grip on yourself.

The teacher is just doing her job. Shame on you for taking it out directly on her. If you have a problem with the grade rather than slapping the teacher, perhaps you should talk to her. Even request that the principal be present. If your son needs all A's then tell him to work harder. I hope the teacher presses charges against you for assault because that's what you did. You assaulted the teacher. Also, do you think this is going to help your son's situation. GREAT PARENT YOU ARE!
