What to do about a verbally abusive 2nd grade teacher?
First let me say that I do not condone a teacher being disrespectful towards a student nor do I condone students being disrespectful towards adults.One thing you are overlooking in your question is that someone in your son’s class was obviously being disrespectful and/or disruptive to the substitute teacher.He/she leaves a written comment about the classroom behaviour so the homeroom teacher is made aware of any occurances while he/she was away.The name or names of the offending students is noted and sometimes the principal is also notified by the substitue teacher.I would arrange a meeting with his teacher to find out the other side of the story.Maybe the teacher was notified by the substitute that your son was disrespectful towards the substitue teacher.Somehow people seem to think it is alright to treat the substitute teacher with less respect.I think you should be asking yourself why it has taken almost the entire school year to remove your son from this teacher’s classroom.I think
