[QUOTE="Star*, post: 98984, member: 4964"] I can relate - When difficult child was in first grade there was a young boy in his class being raised by his grandmother. His mother was a crack addict and drank. He was a crack baby. At that time not many people had an idea what they were going to be up against. My son endured teasing, being poked, name calling. I wrote the school, talked to the teacher and then sent a registered letter to the principal asking that this incident be documented and this letter put in a file. Which she did. This would prove INVALUABLE. A week went by and I got a call to come get difficult child that he had knocked another student out cold. So when I got to the office Dude was sitting there and he was angry. I asked his side of the story and he said " Mom, you know (name) has been bugging me and you told me to tell the teacher, well she told me to quit whining (teacher denied it) and Dude said "YOU are lying" and (name) has been bugging me for a month and you wont move his desk or call his grandma and he kept poking me in the back with his lunch tray while I was in line, so I got out of line and went and told the teacher and that's when she yelled at me again and said GET BACK IN LINE DUDE, So I turned to the boy and said I've asked you nicely and now I'm telling you don't poke me - and the boy did it again, so I took my lunch tray and knocked him out." I stood there with the principal who was in disbelief that my son would make accusations that the teacher told him he was a whiner and to get back in line when he was telling on a student bothering him - so I asked if the principal would look in his file for a letter I sent registered regarding this problem. SHe did and it clearly stated in my own words that the teacher basically ignored my pleas to move either my child or this boy - and that a visit to her class room made it clear she intended on doing little more than yelling at my son when he was merely trying to defend himself AND that when I spoke with her in person she shrugged her shoulders and had no comment and no advice on the problem. With a copy of that letter? They couldn't suspend my son which is what they intended on doing. Instead they sent him home for the day. A week later, the same child flipped out in class. When the assistant principal came to get him - the boy kicked him in the privates and bit the inside of his thigh through his pants causing the man to have to go to the hospital for stitches. The boy was taken to the office and released to his grandmother. Later he was suspended for punching another student in the face and breaking her nose. 1st grade. So if you want to make sure your child's rights are protected - WRITE IT OUT, send it registered letter - and keep a copy. It's a little hard for them to put your kid out as a trouble maker when YOU have done what THEY ask you to do in these situations. Their just usually cheeky about "Well did you write a registered letter for the file? hmmmmm?" Good Luck Sorry this is happening - but from here on out be very fastidious at your record keeping and letter writing. Star [/QUOTE]
