[QUOTE="klmno, post: 220907, member: 3699"] I won't advise about the letter but wanted to add that I thinkk Marg is right. Based on what happened with my son in lementary school, once a kid internalizes that he/she "is bad", criticism is not taken the same way. It only serves to reinforce negativity about themself, resulting in more behavior that we are trying to change. (I wish I had realized how the school personnel were affecting my son before it got to this point.) It is a shame that there seem to be a lot of teachers out there, especially in the elementary school level that don't get this point. If it were me, I would be much more apt to approach them with a "my child needs this and you aren't providing it, instead you are handling things in a way that is psychologically damaging and contributing to his problems and your own problems in the classroom" than an emotional appeal.
