LOL.. Okay..I could not believe my ears when he told me.. I must say we have a history with this teacher blantantly harrassing my son.. His agenda is proof of it. Anyway, okay, here we go.. LOL. She put him in the hall AGAIN, (she does this everyday, to just get him out of her classromm, and sometimes he will stay out in the hall for the entire class time), when he asked if he could please come back in class, she told him no. He waited a few minutes and asked again, and she again told him no. He told me "Momma, I had just had all I could take." He walked right into that classroom and told his teacher that he was sick of her putting him in the hallway everyday, he is ready to learn, and she is not letting him learn by putting him in the hallway everday, and if he fails it is her fault for having him in the hallway everyday.. All the kids in the classroom started chearing him on clapping and say "woo hoo, you tell her Briar". LOL... I could not believe what he told me when I picked him up from school yesterday. Of course, he got sent to the principals office and my husband and I will be called in, but we have told these people over and over again that she picks on him way tooo much, and one day he will get full of it.. Well, it has happened..LOL

Good for your son! We had a similar problem with one of DD's teachers. DD has an auditory processing delay and had been newly diagnosed as having a vision problem. The teacher had seated her in the back of the classroom to punish her for inattentiveness. One of DD's friends told her mother that this teacher had been yelling at DD quite a lot in front of the class and the friend's mother relayed this information to me. I knew something was going on b/c DD kept saying she didn't want to go to World Cultures anymore. I contacted the teacher via e-mail to let her know about DD's vision and APD and sent her some links to websites about APD. Imagine my irritation when she replied that the primary teacher hadn't informed her! Does the right hand know what the left hand is doing? I thought the teachers were supposed to work together. She was very apologetic and said she would move DD up front, not call negative attn. to her anymore by yelling, and would make sure DD knew what to do. When she got back to me 2 weeks later, she said that the turnaround in DD's attention was quite dramatic. It was just too bad I had to contact her for her to modify an unhelpful and damaging approach.
Would this teacher be open to receiving such information and suggestions for what works at home from you? Is she too 'old school' and set in her ways? If you have been having problems with her for this long, it doesn't sound promising. Perhaps a conference with all involved school staff is needed. Good luck to you.

I have talked to her, the principal, the counselor, the asst. principal, you name it. I have even talked to another one of my sons teachers and they too noticed the way that this one teacher behaves towards my son. We even tried switching him from going to her class first thing in the morning, to having her as the last class of the day (which I didn't think was a good idea, but tried it for the sake of working with the school). This is just not working. This teacher is "old school". It's her way for the hallway. She has even so much as said to me that she can tell when a student has an attitude and when they look like they have an attitude she sends them in the hallway?!?!? WHAT??? I told her "A concerned teacher would try to find out what the problem is and try to help that student with the problem, not put them in the hallway and add fuel to the fire." She was speechless..  LOL..Briar is a really strong-willed ADHD child. We have always taught him that he is to respect adults. It is soo hard for him to respect someone who does not respect him. Once the respect is gone, you can hang it up.. He has 6 teachers throughout his day, this is the only teacher that seems tohave the most trouble out of my son. I mean all kids are gonna have their moments, but this is ridiculous.. >: |

Time for the hat and broom!!!!!! Good for your son. Now since you have already compained with no results it is time to go for the juggler vein! I would even start threatening legal action if he is in the hall. How about "No kid left behind"? I would by God take that meeting over......  and DEMAND that my child be taught not keep the hallway occupied!!! Sue |

OMG!!! I read this and it sounds exactly what happens to my daughter everyday fourth period.. She either sits in the hall all class or sits in the ap's office all class  Right now she is serving 6 days ISS because she has recieved too many referals(from this one class) IMHO the rest of her classes shouldn't be affected because she doesn't respect ONE teacher. Anyway, I wish I could be of more help but we have the same problem and it seems the school doesn't want to help in any way! Angela |
