teacher grabbing you child?

Question

I have a problem with a son's teacher, ok now first of all my son is no angel. he has adhd and odd. but does that give a teacher the right to grab him. it all started will i got a call from the school and said he was having a bad day. and asked me if i could pick him up instead of him riding the bus i told them i would. i talked to him on the phone and asked him what happened and he said another kid started to yell at him and my son got in trouble for it. i told him not to worry that i would be right there to pick him up since school was out. when i got there i went into the prinipals office to get him and i told him letst go his teacher told me that we needed to talk because the story he told me probably was not the truth. i looked at her and said You are calling my son a liar. and she said yes i am
i told him lets go and she grabed his arm and told him no.
i told her to let go of him twice i finally had to move her hand off of his arm.. is it legal for her to do that?????

Answer 1

that happened to me as well, and i told the teacher in no uncertain terms he will not put his hands or man handle my child ever .and it never happened again. if this does happen again you need to call the school superintendent and have them put a stop to it.the teacher will be repremanded

Answer 2

Some people are so rude on this! I defenetly don't like what "Seaavee" said, What gives him the right to call you a bad parent?? That was mean! I kinda agree with what "reddevid" said about you not being so sure if your son was completly telling the truth. The teacher probably did grab on to his arm thinking u would stop but since she didnt let go or even apologize says she is at fault here. And if I was in your place I wouldn't listen to what she had to say if she was rude by saying my kid was a "liar". She could of been more nice by saying "thats not exactly what happen, could i please talk to u" instead of grabbing his arm! So yea, she defenetly needs to be reported, I don't think that was right at all

Answer 3

She had no right to put her hands on your son. The kids aren't allowed to put their hands on each other, and the teachers are there to set the example. On the other hand, you were immediately confrontational with the teacher. So in the long run...both of the adults acted improperly and the kid's stuck in the middle now. Sounds to me like NOTHING was learned in school that day.

Answer 4

this is why the education system is a total failure. You are more worried about if it was legal for her to grab your son over every other possible problem here....she wanted to TALK to you about your son, and in the heat of the moment she latched on to him in an effort to keep you from leaving. You don't know what happened in that classroom, and while nobody likes to hear that their kid is a liar, it is completely possible that he did not tell you the entire truth, or he told you his version of it. How can you expect to make a decent decision about your son's education if you won't even hear what the teacher has to say? Running off in a mad tizzy won't help your son at all....nobody is impressed, instead you are making things worse.

Answer 5

you are soooooooooooooo much calmer than i would have been i would have told her once and if she did not let go i would have kicked her *** right there

no one tells my kid no after i tell them to do something this is your child she had no right at all to do what she did

i don't care if your son lied or not she over stepped her boundary's as a teacher what she did was tell your son not to listen to you and then tried to pull him away from you

i do not see how you didn't slap her

you should have her arrested for assault and interfering with a parent

Answer 6

You tell her that if she puts her hands on your son again, she's going to have trouble. She had NO right to do that. What makes her think that YOUR son has to listen to HER before he listens to you. You should try to get your son moved to another class. She needs to be reported.

Answer 7

NO, it is not. You need to see the principle, the superintendent, the whole nine. Also, file a complaint with the police, this woman is guilty of battery. It's never okay to put your hands on a child.

Answer 8

You son needs help from a professional! Sounds like you are a bad parent. If it was up to me you would have to be in the class room to control your son. I think that teachers should spank unruly students beause parents like you do not give your children a sense of responsibility.

Answer 9

i dont think so...
