[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 211743, member: 1991"] Your child should not have called the teacher a bad name. HOWEVER - in my book, when dealing with a difficult child who needs more SUPPORT than stumbling blocks, ANYBODY who deliberately provokes a difficult child to the point where the child retaliates (ie fairly normal response, aggravated by already diagnosed poor impulse control plus other issues) then ALL BETS ARE OFF. If your difficult child waited until the next day to walk up to the teacher to call her a bad word, then it deserves punishment. THAT is not the result of provocation plus impulse control issues. But the teacher in this case was abusing her position of power absolutely shamefully, to the point where it crosses over into bullying and child abuse. She is apparently also badmouthing difficult child to the other kids, which will be triggering more abuse from other students, not only triggering it but endorsing it. This is abuse not only of difficult child, but of the other kids because it is deliberately teaching them to do the very things they should not. Time to put on your steel-capped boots and kick arse (OK, prod buttock). At least in writing, making reference to previous complaints, meetings, letters, incidents. This is ongoing abuse and could well be contributing to ongoing behaviour problems. We do the best we can as parents to support the school and to help raise our difficult children to learn to be model citizens - to be thus undermined by teachers instead of supported, when we are doing OUR bit - she should be shown the door. This woman has real big problems and they shouldn't be allowed to be vented on vulnerable children. Oooh, it makes me so mad! Marg [/QUOTE]
