[QUOTE="jamrobmic, post: 85509, member: 1412"] This brings back bad memories. My son had similar problems with one of the gym teachers, and it ended up escalating to the point that I had to take him out of school to home school. This was the only teacher he had problems with, so it wasn't that he was just a behavior problem. I went to the school countless times to discuss the issue with both the gym teacher and the vp, but they kept telling me they thought things were under control. Things finally came to a head-the gym teacher told my son to do something that he said was embarrassing, he refused and said a swear word, and the vp was determined to send difficult child to alternative school. In his case that meant appearing before the juvenile court judge, and difficult child had just gotten off probation for truancy a couple of months prior. So husband and I decided to take him out of school before that could happen, and difficult child went on to get his GED. I really think he would have stayed in school if this issue with the gym teacher hadn't happened. I wholeheartedly agree with what LDM said about getting another teacher or taking her out of that class completely. If it's a graduation requirement, there might be alternatives she can do to satisfy that requirement. Good luck to both of you. [/QUOTE]
