[QUOTE="Andy, post: 206156, member: 5096"] You are correct, the teacher is human and has emotions. However, your original post states that she is highly emotional and does blow up situations. She was also not in control of her emotions when calling you. Very unprofessional. Does not help any situation. I can understand that she was furious with the kids in the hall being disrespectful and laughing but she took her feelings about that and put the total emotions onto difficult child. That is not fair. The teacher punished (not disciplined) out of anger toward all the kids. The punishment did not fit the crime. She should have shut the door and then out of earshot of difficult child's friend say something to the effect, "difficult child, you are here to take this test." After the test was done, the teacher could have then talked to her about her growing disrespect but only if the teacher is able to do so calmly. It sounds like the teacher is past the calm stage and needs help in addressing this with difficult child. I can respect your feelings that most of the blame may be on difficult child due to her history of growing disrespect. That does have to be addressed. I would gently encourage you to keep the teacher's uncontrolled emotions in the front line of things to watch and bring into this situation. It is very hard for kids to live within rules of unstable authority figures. Unfortunately, difficult child and her friends have picked up on the fact that they can make this teacher cumble. That is going to be difficult to turn around. [/QUOTE]
