There was a issue at my son's school where the teacher stood in front of the class, and made a announcement that basiclly drew attention to my son and his friend. She wants students to come to her if they have a complanit, exspeacilly if my son was involed. And if so she will make sure that he will be removed from school. I am not saying my son is a angel but for a teacher to singal him out like that is wrong, and all the school wants me to do is put my complaint in writing and they will look it over...I would like to add that my son is white and his teacher is black... I point this out because I feel if it was the other way around this would be handle in a different and more quickly matter. ..
First my Son is taught to listen to the teacher, He is a stright A student in high school and has never had a issue in any classes until now! This teacher has repeatly broke the guide lines of his IEP and we have had lots of meeting with her. My son is indeed Adha, bipolor, and odd.

Tell the principal that if something is not done that you will hire a lawyer and contact the news stations in your town to bring this into public view. The school should then take you a little more seriously and set an appointment with the board of education and the teacher in question and you and your son.

You can not file suit for the teacher disciplining in the way he sees fit provided it does not involve harm to your son. What you can press suit on is if she is ignoring his IEP. That is a legal document. How does the IEP specify that your son is to be disciplined? That needs to be followed. This has nothing to do with race, so keep that out of the mix entirely. This has to do with a teacher ignoring the IEP. IF his IEP specifies that he may be verbally reprimanded and/or that he may not interfer with others learning, she may be within the IEP. Demand an immediate meeting and make sure you also demand that its not between just you , the teacher and the principal, but also the IEP teacher, the LEA and , if appropriate the district special needs coordinator.

I would speak to the administration about the problem and have a conference with the principal and the teacher. You could request that your child be moved to another classroom, but if your child has a situtation with a different teacher as well, a label may be slapped on your son as a bad actor. Also, make sure that you dicuss the appropriate implementation of his IEP with the classroom. I would not bring up race as a factor, rather the appropriateness of the teacher and the teacher's adherence to the IEP.
I hope this helps.

Call the school and set up an emergency PPT.
Go to the PPT with notes about what you need to discuss.
Obviously his current teacher is not following the IEP and that needs to be brought to the attention to of all involved.

You should defiantly do something like talk to the principal or maybe even someone higher and if he bipolor I would talk to the person in charge of the Special needs department and tell them that a teacher singling him out.

make sure that is the way it happened. because the teacher is black and your son is white doesn't mean that, your son is right or doesn't mean the teacher is being prejudice. just do some investigation before you jump to conclusions. my children were taught to listen to the teacher, but they didn't always listen. i've been there and i know children.

we have a teacher exactly like that here.
I am not prejudice, she is black every black student does stuff that if a white person does it they get yelled at.
but the blacks don't.
I know this because I have been yelled at for doing the same thing a black person did right in front of her.
I got in trouble, he didn't.

it sounds more like you are interested in getting revenge on the teacher than actually solving the problem....you still have not indicated what it was that your son did...that to me indicates that you know he was in the wrong...maybe the teacher is upset because poor spelling is genetic?

And we're supposed to believe this was written by an adult?
