Anyone experience a teacher that seems to always see the bad side of your child? Even if she does nothing wrong and gets hurt by another child she somehow manages to put the blame no matter what the situation.

She was trying to help her classmate and SHE got in trouble? That is totally wrong! She should have been praised for trying to help her classmate. I think that this teacher is not a good match for your child.

Do you not have Parent-Teacher conferences at least once a semester at your school? This is done in all public schools. What kind of school does your child attend?

This is the time when teachers discuss any kind of behavioral issues that a child has with the parent. Normally if a child is overly active, as you say the teacher says your daughter is, a conference is called before the regular time.

I would speak to the Principal and request a change in classrooms.

I have been a teacher before and was astounded by the way some teachers just start out with a bad attitude toward a child everday for maybe one incident or even nothing at all. If your child's teacher can not come with a positive encouraging attitude then I say you should find a new teacher that will encourage your little angel to spread her wings and gain her confidence and talk to your daughter about asking for help before acting out or hitting back. That worked wonders for my boy. I explained that if someone at school is bothering you and you fight back you will both be in trouble, but if you go tell a teacher first then you won't be in trouble too. If you child is asking for help from her teacher and not getting it, or the teacher is allowing such aggressive outbreaks in class. Get a new one. Kindly talk to the director and explain that your child needs a positive enviorment, otherwise your child will learn she has to defend herself and may take that attitude into the future. At a young child's age they should feel confident that the adults in their lives are going to be adults and maintain a safe, loving, encouraging enviorment.

Thanks Misty....I'm just glad that the school year is almost over. Hopefully I will be able to convince the principle to place my daugther in a different class next year and things will improve. Thanks for the support! :)

My son had a first grade teacher like that and it got to the point I dreaded even taking him to school I tried to change his teacher but they said every class was full I felt so trapped. My son thank goodness didn't let her negativity get him down. I would say if it continues have her moved to different class no sense in having her suffer. Luckily my son went on to second and third grade and got wonderful teachers so I know it was not my son. Later I found out that this particular teacher would single out a student each year and pick on them. If you think about it, it is a form of bullying. I hope you get things settled.

That teacher sounds awful! Blaming the victim, especially to a little girl, is a terrible mindset. And just loosing the kids into a park, unsupervised, is just ridiculous. I would document everything and keep talking to the principal. Also, have lots of conversations with your daughter to try to offset this disgusting influence.

NO! You are not wrong to be upset. I would go to the principal with this. That's ridiculous. She shouldn't have put herself in that situation???? WTF? Seriously? My daughter is 6 and if that happened to her I'd be raising hell!

That teacher is WRONG. All she was doing was trying to help. There is a boy in my daughters class that picks on her and I just want to choke him. He calls her a pussy! In first grade! I told the teacher and she took care of it right away. That's how it should have been with your daughter.

I'm floored she blamed her.
