[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 419978, member: 1233"] You handled that very well, in my opinion. I HATE it when teachers tell parents that they are not doing something when clearly they are. I believe your son over this teacher completely. The way she handled your call by being confrontational shows that her people skills need a LOT of work, in my opinion. NOT the way to handle an upset parent. WHY do teachers think that they know if you are doing a disservice to your child? They see your kid for an hour maybe once a day but they have 20-30 other kids in the room at the same time. They don't get to know your kid, esp not in a gym class. Not only is the pool situation ripe for bullying, this is the kind of teacher who wouldn't even try to make the bullying stop. Who might even join in if it was about a student being overweight because "it is the truth so it can't be bullying". The pool sounds very unsafe, esp because the teacher is going to focus on the loudest group and not pay attention if a student got into trouble until it went too far. It is why a pool is supposed to offer lessons in SMALL groups, maybe up to 7 kids. NOT entire classes all at once. You ROCK, Warrior Mom!!!!! [/QUOTE]
