It's pretty sad when every good deed is being scrutinized and analyzed for ulterior motives.  No wonder that no one wants to help anyone else just to be nice.

Man, I was going through the samething with this really obnoxious girl once. I feel your pain. my plan of dealing with people like him is to stay clear of them. It might not be easy at first but once you keep avoiding and stay clear of him overtime he won't be a problem, and talk to your teacher about changing your seat, tell him/her that you have problems with this kid and that you don't get along with him that should help, and if that doesn't work well, you before taking things into your own hands try the plan first.

Do this tell him Okay !!!!\n\nIf we or bringing your child then we will bring them all and then he may look for a babysitter.\n\nIts not fair to the other kids as well...

Safety of the children takes precedence.  This is not a question of religious freedom, but a question of child safety.\n\nNOBODY goes to an elementary school, where parents trust that "strangers" will be kept at bay, without an appointment.  All else shall be escorted.\n\nThis guy, though his intentions may be good, should learn and back down.  Want to preach to the teachers?  Make an appointment. Want to preach to the kids?  Become a guest speaker, if the school will allow it.  Else that, stay away.

if you have to ask, then maybe you shouldn't be parenting at all. dude, thats just not right. she probably is all fired up about going to daddy's job and you wanna take her to a whore house? come on! i totally respect your position and wish i had your job but use your head, will ya? it is no place for any juvenile. Period! call in sick and fake another job for the night so your daughter will stop wondering what you do at work. be creative. did you tell her you work at a brothel? if you did, just explain it to her. PLUS, if you DO take her and she reports it to her fellow students (which she will) or teachers, you could risk having her taken away from you. keep her outa there.

There is a huge range of what they do and what they charge.  Typically a tutor dresses in what we call business casual.  Obviously a tutor has to customize their lessons to the individual so teaching a child would usually entail starting at a more basic level than teaching adults,

I worked at preschool once that was very paranoid about it's employees starting their own preschool or day care and taking clients away from the existing facility.  It was even mentioned in the contract I was to sign when I started working for the school that if I was to start my own facility and took clients away that I could brought up on some legal charges.  It was also listed in the employee handbook.  You may want to do some investigating about this.  However, even with a doctor's note, you still caused some inconvenience for the school, making sure they had a sub for you being the main inconvenience.  As for the home day care, maybe they feel you are trying to solicit their clients.  You've stated here that you are upset at having no more contact with the children.  I know your reasons sound logical here, but maybe this school has had a problem with teachers going out on their own in the past and they are trying to stop it from happening again.  You don't need to call any of the children from the school. This could get you into more trouble.  If there are art projects left behind, the staff will make sure they get home to the parents, finished or not.

Okay, look.   Call the parents...the answer of answers...right?  No.   Of coure that is has to happen becuase this is the policy of evey school I have ever heard of.  Call the couselour, kick the kid out, schedule change, blah, blah, blah, blah.  \n\nFirst:  people are right....it cannot be taken seriously.  It is a 15 year-old kid...how can a fifteen year-old damage a healthy adult's self-esteem?  This cannot happen or you friend is going to have  ashort career.\n\nSecond:  there is a chance the student and teacher simply are so close or so far apart in their personalities there is really no hope for reconciliation...if this is the case, then it it the Admin's responsibility to change the individual's class...even though the classroom teacher should be a professional and be able to deal with te student regardless.\n\nFinally, it sounds like your friend and this student need to come to some sort of understanding.  Whether it is through mediation with a couselor or just a conversation between parent (or not) your friend and the student and try and find out the real issue.\n\nKids act crazy because one of their needs are not being met...they act out because they need something...they are missing something and they are desparately trying to get that need filled...the teacher needs to try to understand the student and try to help the student appropriately fill this need.  Do not misinterperet this as bending to the student, but understanding goes a long way.\n\nIf the student begins to understand the teacher cares for them even though the teacher does not let them get away with anything...always be firm and fair (being fair is often the hard part).  Students will blow up once in a while, but if they know you will not bend, but they also know you do care for them...this makes all the difference...it is also the hard way...\n\nIt is easy to throw away troubled kids...don't worry about it...they are used to it becuase that is what everyone does to them...your friend needs to consider if she will be everyone else or take the high road...even if it doesn't work...the effort was made and the honor of the teaching profession (as damaged as it is) is honored by the effort.

A teacher who makes students feel bad for asking questions is not a very good teacher, in my opinion.  I am a first year teacher and I encourage all of my students to ask questions.  This also helps me to clarify concepts and will assist me in preparing and teaching the lesson better next time.  I must say though, it is quite frustrating for students to have a teacher repeat something 4 or 5 times just because the students were not paying attention the first time.

Yes.\nThe problem is that we are all scared as children, and now that I am an adult I see how wrong and rude some teachers were/are.\nTell your Principal exactly how rude she is and what she said. Tell her that this is a valid complaint and if she doesn't rectify this kind of behavior that you have no choice but to speak to the Principal's Superintendent!\n\nDon't be afraid, nothing can happen to you. But do not attempt this if you are a trouble maker and have a documented history of your behavior as it will backfire on you.

I cannot answer this definitively, but I believe teachers report this sort of thing to the state Social Services department.  There may be a web site or at least phone numbers online you can check into.

I don't know about specific laws in Maine, but in NC I believe the teachers can hold back a student without consent. If they want to hold your child back, it's probably for the best.

If your child is causing other children harm their is a proper way many teachers are thought to restarint a kid. Other wise I dont think you are suppposed to.

Confront your kid and ask him why he do it.

I think alot of parents are teaching their kids at home because they want to control what is being taught  to their kids. I am one of those parents. They are teaching kids therorys instead of facts. I teach my kids facts about life.

You do not know! It is a random chance.  You don't really know how old they are either.  That is how preditors act on young children. I myself, don't recommend trying to fiqure out if they are polite or not.  Assume they are as you ARE ONLY chatting. Right!?
