changing to a different public school

Posted in

My son was doing OK in school with his grades being B's and C's threw first and second quarters, Third and fourth quarter his grades went down. so much that now he has to repeat the 3rd grade. However,Through out the year my son complained constantly about his teacher.Belittling and not giving him the same treatment/attention as the rest of the students. I have not witnessed this but know when he is telling the truth or not. In addition to this she has made several comments on his behavior in class. This is in part of the many times she draws attention to only him during the belittling. Which makes him very upset. My son has told me darning this year that he doesn't like his teacher or his classmates. He only cries and gets sad when ever he talks about his teach and classmates. This school also passes on information from previous teacher he has had K,1ST, 2ND grade etc. Because of this information that he could have AD. I had him tested and his doctor was clear that he wasn't AD. I am in a dilemma. How can or what rules are there for transferring to another public school and district without moving my address.

I am happy for you & your kids! I hope that Brigette and her son work this out in their best interest! Enjoy the summer :)

We changed schools last year and my children love it! They were at a private school therefore we could only go so high and we hit a brick wall.

You should never accept bad behavior from ANY teacher new or not. Next time (hopefully there will NOT be a next time) go to the principal. If that does not help go over her/his head and you WILL see results. Hope your child is doing well and enjoying school now :)

I did not say I agreed with what the teacher was doing but we had no other choice. That was my situation, that's all. The teacher had 20 years at that school. We did not have any option but to complain and still we had to deal while it was being handled. In which it was not handled to my satisfaction.

I am sorry but NO CHILD should have to be "silent"! This teacher must be dealt with for the sake of future children who enter her classroom. Praying for her will do nothing but allow more kids to suffer. As a mom I would never allow this to happen. I had a teacher that was VERY mean to my daughter - I tried to work with her but in the end she failed - bottom line is she should choose another career away from children. My daughter was moved and all is great now. The kids that remain in that teacher's class are doing poorly & the other moms stay silent...this is very damaging to their kids!!! Whatever may be I hope your situation works out to the advantage of your son :)
