My 5 yeard old came home with fingernails scratch, he claims his teacher has done it.

It was so obvious on his collar bones and shoulder, so my husband took some pictures for his puncture wound on his neck and scratched on collarbones to shoulder.
I called his school and we are going to meet with school director, but it seems his teacher has denied what my son claimed. I just would like to hear advice from everyone. This is first year for his Pre-K and I would like him to be in happy and fun classroom with teachers... I don't know what to do this "she says" "he says" situation.

I learned a lot about this issue and I realized how important to have a camera in classroom. I didn't think much of it till I face this case.
I also learned two tearchers environment is not always the case for pre-K. Aid-teacher can be s tepped out for any reason.....
I think I didn't handle this well without advise from all of you. I hope I can learn more about publich school environment before my son starts elementary school....

Yes, I would like to know as well where can we direct this to? It will be great to have them in elementary, middle and high schools rooms. Thanks you laura1967 for being with me in this.

some high schools, do have them in the hallways...and outside to the parking lot to "protect car damage". SO WHY, NOT the class rooms....Does anyone, know--who I or we as, parents, direct this "IDEA" too. "LOCAL SCHOOL BOARD"?? or higher???

Also they have live cameras on daycares rooms, why not at schools for the safety of our kids. They only have them out but not in every classroom.

cameras are a very "good idea"--they have them on the buses...
