What do I do when teachers at my sons school are talking bad about him to his new teacher. Like he is a trouble maker, he does'nt do any work? I really am very desperate this has been going on since he was in 1st grade.

The teachers could very well be asking each other for advice in how to handle certain behaviors or situations, not doing it in a mean way. I would ask what the issues are, and make sure that there are consequences for bad behavior at home. If your son is on his best behavior, they'll have nothing but good things to say about him. Communicating with the teacher is very important, so you are consistent and know if there are any issues you need to deal with at home, to support good behavior at school. Have you talked to him about why he's not doing his work, and why you think they say he's a troublemaker? The best way to stop tham talking about him that way is to make sure that it's not actually true. Your pediatrician might have some questionaires or tests to find out if it's an issue with paying attention, or a discipline issue. If it's a personality conflict, maybe switching him to a different class may help.

There is a chance they arent saying anything to the new teacher the new teachers are reading it in his file.And explaining his behavior to a new teacher isn't talking bad its sharing an experience at least the way I see it.
I would go and see what is in his file and talk to the principal and/or school councilor and teacher to see what you all can do to help him improve this year.

Have you tried talking to the principal about it? Or make an appointment with his current teacher to discuss your concerns. When your son is at school he should ALWAYS feel comfortable - they are his caretakers when you are not there no matter what. Hopefully they are professional enough to set it straight and develop a working relationship with you. My sister had a similar experience with her son, only he has ADHD - his teachers treated him so badly! In the end he was switched into a class with a new teacher that could handle his situation and he did great! Good luck to you!
