[QUOTE="Wiped Out, post: 386062, member: 1631"] WW, Obviously JT was wrong but the school was also wrong in how they handled things. The teacher never should have said what he did. As a parent I can understand being very upset, however, as a teacher I can't imagine a situation where I would say something like that to a child. In fact, it would never cross my mind. The principal also handled things poorly. There is no reason for the principal to have used the F word or for him to threaten him about future incidents that don't involve him. I would be very concerned about this. Do trust that JT is telling you the truth about what happened with the teacher and the principal? If so, I think I would pursue talking to someone about this. Part of me thinks going to the principal to talk it through would be good, on the other hand, I am not sure a principal would admit to this. Would talking to someone in the district help, maybe the superintendent? Whoever you talk with, be calm and continue to support that you know JT was wrong and needed a consequence (I know you would be, I just say that because, working in the schools, we see a lot), that way they know you are being reasonable and supportive but also not o.k. with the way they handled the situation. Sending gentle hugs your way. [/QUOTE]
