[QUOTE="looking4hope, post: 148482, member: 4362"] As a teacher, calling a child "weird" or a "baby" in front of the class is totally unprofessional. Now I have to admit that I have told kids that they've given me a weird answer to a question, or that their behavior is immature or "babyish", but I've never called them that out right. I would call the principal first and ask that an official reprimand be given to these teachers, and follow it up with a written letter outlining your concerns. If that doesn't work, then go to the Assistant Superintendent, your School Board representative, and the Superintendent. Also ask that these teachers attend training on Special Education and privacy issues as a way to prevent future incidents. Susiestar is right -- this information is NOT to be shared with students or other parents. Finally, there does seem to be a lack of trust between you, your son and this teacher. Part of it is that it's the end of the year, and obviously your difficult child has worn this teacher down. I understand that -- I have the same issue with some of my students. But she needs to be reminded of her obligation to provide the best education possible for your child as well as the rest of the students. How did her actions fulfill this duty? Include this fact in your request for a reprimand. I am sorry and embarassed that his happened to your difficult child. As a teacher, I cannot imagine doing this. As a parent, I cannot imagine the heartbreak it's caused you and your difficult child. I'm sending you hugs, and hope that all parties involved in this situation find some resolution. [/QUOTE]
