+ Kindergarten and a BAD Teacher+?

Question

My son has been refusing to go to school. He has a bully there and his teacher is very dense and talks to the children rudely and never gets down to there level to play.
This morning my husband and I went to the school early with our son to talk to the teacher about why my son won't go to school. We told her about the bully and what his name was and in response she said that she had no idea.His OLD teacher use to talk to him and make him feel better when he is down.
When we got home I asked my son why he is so afraid to go and he said that was a secret that his teacher told the children not to tell the parents. I told him that he needs to tell me and he finally said that the teacher has knifes and swords some sharp and some fake. He said that she tells him mean things and that she is never nice. Do I need to take this up with the Principle or Should I just pull him out of school and have him start next year with a new teacher? He also has a disability, So it's harder for him at school

I am not sure about the knifes and swords part
However I have been there when she has said mean things. She did not know that I was out in the hall way but when she noticed she calmed her tone. I was out there talking to my son about how important it is for him to go to school. So I know she can be very rude to the children.

And today he ran out of the school right to our car crying.

For the past month since she has worked there. I have suspected something but I'm not so sure what it is yet besides the being mean to the 5 year old children.

She is a new teacher.. His old teacher Resigned this past December.

Answer 1

Go to the principal, if that does not work go to the superintendent. Go in with the right attitude (you catch more flies with honey then vinegar) That knifes and swords thing is so not OK.

Answer 2

"She is a new teacher.. His old teacher Resigned this past December." There's the problem right there. It isn't that this teacher is "bad". Not everyone has the same teaching methods and obviously her's are quite different from his first teacher's. Whether he has a disability or not he still has to learn to cope with life in the real world and he isn't always going to like the people in it. Besides he is obviously making up stories about the teacher. He may not think she is "nice" because she has a different method...but that is just too bad. What is he going to next year when he gets another teacher? Or the year after and the year after that? He has to learn to deal with it as it is...otherwise YOU will have a hard time with school until he graduates highschool.

Answer 3

I'd start with a complaint to the school board. Then I'd get your little guy away from that environment until other arrangements can be made (missing a few weeks of Kindergarten doesn't cause permanent damage, but emotional abuse does).

A teaching certificate does not make a good teacher. Some should never be allowed near kids, and this bird sounds like a prime example.

Answer 4

Talk to the principal. Do it immediately. Perhaps you are not the only parent with a problem with this teacher. Perhaps you should call some of the other parents after speaking to the principal and see if they are having similar issues.

As a last resort, pull your child from the school.

Answer 5

pulling your kid out of school will punish your child not the teacher. what you need to do is talk to the principal about the situation. if this does not help the bullying or the teachers rudeness then i would go to the board of education and file a complaint. this is not right for your child or any other children to have to go through this kind of harrassment. this effects you even more because of the fact that your child has special needs. the teacher should be more understanding and willing to be there for him. i used to volunteer and work at a camp for kids and yound adults with different kinds of special needs. i have had similar problems with some of the other staff there in the treatment of the kids. kids that have a special need are more likely to get made fun of unfortunately than other kids because of their need. what is even more unfortunate is that when even the ones that we trust with our special needs children look at them as different and give them a rougher time because of it. it is not ok or just on any level. i hope your child is not getting treated differently because of their disability but that is kind of what it sounds like to me. take whatever routes necessary to help your child with this. if your child is getting discriminated against, get a lawyer involved. sometimes as a parent you have to stand up for your childrens rights in certain situations and even more so if they have a special need. i really hope that this helps you get this straightened out. good luck with this.

Answer 6

I would definitely talk to the princepal about this and to maybe get a new teacher this year... dont wait next year!! Tell him that you do NOT like the his teacher and something has to be done about it NOW.... what about some hidden cameras in the classroom... that the princepal can put in there =) just a thought! You hear about these situations all the time and never to take them likely! Best of luck!

Answer 7

do no longer rigidity out approximately it. i'm particular you're making a lot greater out of it than your son is. He would not understand what he ignored or did no longer leave out. Kindergarten is turning out to be to be further and added what 1st grade was. loads of colleges are having all day Kindergarten to coach the youngsters greater valuable for 1st grade. only tell your son that each and every grade is a clean start up and a clean threat to benefit issues. as long as you artwork with him at homestead and he has social contacts with different babies he could be superb. 2 of my sons have been additionally in mixed classes and it regarded that the greater youthful babies continually have been given the fast end of the stick. i could advise that each and every physique mum and dad decline if the college desires to place their infant in a sort of classes. they're only reducing corners and are too low priced to hire yet another instructor, so they place uncertified instructors in over-crowded lecture rooms and supply them an aide and want for the wonderful. i'm satisfied my babies are executed with public college!

Answer 8

Go to Superintendent!!! Don't stop anywhere else. Then tell them you will contact the school board. There is no way a teacher should be acting like this, even at high school age. Your young child should not have to deal with the double pressure. If they don't handle it, go to your local paper. Then move your child to another school.

Answer 9

I would start by talking to the parents of some of the other students in the class to get another perspective of what is happening in the classroom. Is this a public program? If so, is it possible to switch your son to another Kindergarten class in the same school.

Answer 10

I find it very hard to believe that your son is being abused and scared by a teacher with swords. The teacher likely used the swords to teach the kids something, they are not used to scare the kids into doing things. If this is how you are with the kindergarten teacher, I feel sorry for your son. One thing you might want to know, when your child progresses through the grades in one school district, that child's behavior is discussed among the teacher's when they set up their class rooms for the next school year. Example, classroom 1 has two kids that are ADHD, and two that go for special reading classes. Classroom 2 will want to be balanced along the same as classroom 1, basically, the principal and the teachers get together and split the rooms up as evenly as possible so no one teacher gets a whole bunch of kids with learning disabilities. Their parents are discussed as well, particularly if a parent has been determined to be a problem and not helpful in their childs education. If you go in full force accusing the teacher of threatening children with swords, well, let's just say your child is not going to be eager to learn if you are not encouraging him to be part of the class. Do you really think the teacher threatened the students with knives and swords? Come on...............kids can come up with the darndest things, his imagination is quite creative, you might want to encourage his imagination through art or reading. Good luck.
