[QUOTE="bby31288, post: 313306, member: 182"] Here's my story on something similiar. difficult child last year hated her english teacher with a passion. Funny because he was the head "hockey coach". difficult child has beautiful red hair, which of course she hates. She had it cut in Sept before school started and was self-consicous about its length. She felt it was to short. So the first week of school comes and difficult child complains about the teacher, the second week of school difficult child comes home and proceeds to tell me and her father that the teacher called her Bowl-Cut (insert my last name here) when asking questions, addressing her, etc. She was upset and I promptly made a stink with guidance counselor, principal, etc. We had this big meeting with all of the officials and this teacher. Where it turns out......drum roll. That back on the first day of school, difficult child being so self conscious of her shorter hair, procceded to call herself Bowl-Cut (insert last name), she made a big joke out of it thinking she would beat everybody to the imaginary joke (her hair, not that short). So in turn she set the precedent for the bowl cut comment. In hindsight the teacher said he should not have called her that, but he thought it was fine because she had basically started it, she also wrote on her name thing on her desk, bowl cut. The teacher was very upset that he made her feel bad and apologized to her, and then in front of the class. I guess what I'm saying is sometimes they get the vibe that it is okay, that the student is secure, or whatever. But I'm going to take the opinion that he doesn't realize what he is saying is upsetting difficult child. If you get what I'm trying to say!!! Good Luck! [/QUOTE]
