Bad Teacher

We've been talking with the other parents to see what we can do. Like I said, there have been many complaints to the principle and school board and nothing has been done.

One of the 1st grade teachers at the same school has her 5th grade daughter in the class. When she had words with the bad teacher about they way she was treating her daughter the teacher got even worse, made the other teachers daughter sit in the front by her desk and basically harassed her for weeks.

If something like that were to happen to my daughter I'm afraid I'll catch a charge.

If the principle is not doing anything then I would suggest filing a formal complaint with the school district superintendent.

What I would recommend is getting 4 or 5 parents together and each document every negative event/interaction the children have had with the teacher. Include dates and if possible times.
Do it for two weeks to a month; you need to show a pattern and it must be documented. Have someone with decent writing skills compile the complaint. Include the documented negative interactions and the remedies you sought from the teacher and principle.

Send your complaint and a request for a meeting to the school district superintendent via certified mail. It would probably be beneficial to have an attorney handle/compose the documents. $500 - $1000 split between parents is much cheaper than the gas it will cost driving to a new school over a period of time.

I'm sure you are aware that there are plenty of tax payer funded offices that are suppose to handle things like this. You should use them. The teacher is a bad apple and someone needs to put a stop to it instead of ignoring it and letting it continue. It's not fair to the kids or parents.

Good luck

Your only option is murder, or send in a decoy to seduce the teacher and get her fired.


Simple option is switch schools, since you mention dropping her off and picking her up I imagine it is somewhat of a chore so sitting with her 5 hours a day at home wouldn't be any easier.

My daughter is in fourth grade this year and she really dislikes her teacher and it's showing on her grades.

We knew the teacher had a reputation of being a bitch but it's turning out to be worse than we thought. She bullies the students and doesn't make for a fun/comfortable learning environment.

She's had complaints from parents to the school board and nothing has been done. A couple other parents are sending their kids to private school for the next few years.

The really shitty thing is that she's also the fifth grade teacher so my daughter would have to have her another year after this one and that could ruin her for life.

The thing is is that the school is only a mile away from home and right across the street from where my wife works so it's convenient if anything happens.

I'm thinking about moving her to another school within the district, about 10 miles away, but then we'll have to drop her off and pick her up everyday.

Our family doesn't follow any religion so private school's not an option, and it's an hour bus ride.

Otherwise homeschooling.

Any suggestions/input? This is stressing me out.

I had the same trouble with my eldest son he is dyslexic and struggled to read his teacher thought she would be the one to get him reading fluently, she had a reputation for bullying the kids and had numerous complaints about her. She bullied my son so much she made him ill so I took him out of school and said he would not return until they moved him classes, they refused and threatened me with court, so I told them okay see you in court. He didn't go to school for six months I taught him myself, I had meetings with all the education department doctors social workers the lot but I wouldn't budge I refused to send him. Eventually they agreed to let him change classes, and sometime later the teacher concerned was sacked. My advice don't give into them they will close ranks on you and fight you all the way, but you have to fight them back make them understand the teacher is a bully get names of other pupils who have had trouble with them, at the end of the day your child is their to learn not to be bullied, god this makes me so mad. I hope you can sort it out.

I've talked it out some more with my wife and daughter and I believe we'll be doing the home schooling. We're going to pull her for the rest of this school year and see how it works out.

We've heard of this teacher's reputation because this is something that's gone on for years, I don't think It's changing anytime soon. If we can get the

teacher removed then we'll put her back, otherwise we'll send her to the other school next year if homeschooling becomes too much for us.

Please remember she's only nine, she likes ponies and rainbows. I'm not going to put her through anything she shouldn't have to. Learning should be fun

and games right now, she can learn to fight her own fights in middle school when she's with each teacher for only an hour at a time. Bullying from kids is

one thing but from an adult it's another.

We will be talking with the other parents and most likely the school board and try and get this teacher fired, hopefully it won't have to come to a lawyer or the media.

Thank you all for the comments!

Shitty thing about that is, she is more than likely in a union and if she has been there long enough and has tenure now, it's gonna take an act of god to get her removed. Sad but true. It isn't about the kids from their stand point, it's about making sure the Union doesn't sue the school to fucking high hell for firing her over an attitude problem.

My grandmother, who was a teacher for 40 years, called a childs mother a cunt once and all they did was dock her a weeks pay.

fuck it,teacher how to pick up dead animalsjust kidding 420, I know you'll handle it proper

If your kid is so stressed about the teacher, just roll her up a doob and let her get some of that "fuck it" in her system. That teacher wouldn't stand a chance against YOUR 9 year old daughter baked as fuck hahaha. Kidding obviously but that'd be hilarious to see a baked 9 year old girl tell her teacher she is a snatch and that her dad could beat up the teachers dad lolol.

Or teach her how to recite: "My dad had a disagreement with Jimmy Hoffa once. Once..."

Lite edit.

Sorry to hear all this 420. I had to take my daughter out halfway through the 8th grade due to bullying - by other girls though, not a teacher. I had to come up with my own lesson plans and have it all nicely outlined to show the school what I was doing. She actually learned more from the homeschooling in 6 months than she did in a whole year at 'school.' The next year, I enrolled her in the school in the next town - about a 30 minute drive. I can't imagine having to deal with bullying from a teacher. The bad girl in me says to start stalking the bitch. Freak her out, make her retire. Find out where she lives and totally eff with her. But the smart girl in me thinks maybe getting all the other parents, and former parents to sign a petition forcing the district to force her into retiring. Or better yet, firing her. How dare she mess with your child! I am with Curious, secret taping would go a long way, video would be even better. Anyway, hope it works out for you hun.

I worked for a school district for a number of years, not as a teacher. It is extremely difficult to get a teacher out right fired. However, they usually have a place to transfer them to...problem is if this is a small district then even a transfer will still keep them with students. The bigger the district, the farther away from kids they can be moved. A couple years ago there was a big news article about Los Angeles SD: they actually have a building where they send them; little to no duties just be there every day and hang while collecting full salary. It broke the news cuz a teacher had been there for 6-7 yrs and got tired of going there everyday so he sues the district to be allowed to stay home and collect his pay

http://articles.latimes.com/2009/may/06/local/me-teachers6

This isn't the article I wanted but it illustrates the problem

Not looking forward to dealing with this myself in the coming years. I'm a hot head, so it'll be tough. I had lots of bad teachers, some really bad. I don't think it was life changing or anything, even one, in elementary, told me, in front of my mother, that I'd never turn out to be anything in life. I'll never forget that.

Staying teaches some great lessons, like sticking with it and getting the job done, even if that job is school. Another is the fact its laying ground work for the fact she'll likely work for a jerk of a boss at some point, like the rest of us, and just up and quitting isn't too often an option.

I highly suggest NOT getting personal with this teacher, and berating them in your meeting. Your kid will pay the price, and the others in the class. She has control all day, every day, remember.

Hope things brighten up for your daughter bro.
