[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 261008, member: 1991"] So the teacher heard this form someone who is an old friend of hers? Maybe she needs to have a closer look at this "old friend". Speaking from experience - one of difficult child 3's teachers who is an old friend of mine, is one who was apparently most counterproductive in her management of him and who I know put him on detention at times when it wasn't appropriate (her own son had been the cause of the problem but it was difficult child 3 who got punished instead). A lot of this I have only found out recently, then only on Thursday I found that difficult child 3's best friend (years younger than difficult child 3) who is now in this teacher's class, is being punished and mismanaged in ways that this teacher should (after her experience of difficult child 3) know not to do. She is doing things exactly wrong, exactly opposite to the way we had things in place for difficult child 3. So don't always trust old friends. Even though my "old friend" regularly waves at me as she drives past and will stop and talk to me when we meet in the street, I now realise she is not the friend I always thought she was. There is no point me ever saying anything to her. However, I know now to never confide in her, not anything important. I'd be telling your teacher friend to be similarly cautious, but to not say anything to indicate a lack of faith in her friend. Just keep her mouth shut and her ears/eyes open, from here on. Maybe her friend was mistaken in what she heard, maybe she got told by someone who was out to cause michief - or maybe she herself is the problem. But YOU didn't hear anything. So either it was said out of your earshot, or this is something designed to throw someone off balance. There are people like this. They have their own strong opinions and sometimes justifty them by making it seem as if "everyone says so". It's a form of cowardice in so many ways. Marg [/QUOTE]
