Harassments faced by the public school teachers?

you probably need to contact a legal service in your area or post your question in the teaching section.\nthis is the homeschool section and we pretty much have job security seeing as how most of us are married to the principal!!!\n:)

It is sexual harrassment when people ask unsolicited questions about your sex life. It is illegal. A teacher has no business asking about that.

you should write all the times the teacher discriminated against you and talk to the principal.  if nothing is done, you could go to the school board or, yes, file a lawsuit

I don't know if that information is readily availble.  I would try contacting the principal of the shool that teacher currently works at.  If you really want to push it, you can file for a public release of information.

I taught at a school in Ca.  It is true that the schools are limited in what they do to protect other kids from being bullied.  Several of the answers were very appropriate.  Most important thing would be to document each and every incident.   I would then (as someone said) write a letter to the school with pictures of marks, along with any statement of your child.  Send it registered or certified mail to the school, the teacher, and the superintendent.  If there are marks on your child, I would immediately file a police report and send that in the certified letter.  Request a response to the letter and a meeting with all parties involved to find a way to solve the issue.  What many people do is complain and try to resolve it on their own, but nothing will happen until someone gets really hurt.  You need to demand that a  plan be put in place to protect your child.  If this does not happen, you will file suit.  Make sure everything is in writing.  Have your child seek counseling (not through the school).  if you do not have the money to pay for it, then find a place that charges on a sliding scale or will give free services.  Bring the counselor to your school to represent your child.  Do not wait for the school to take any action.  It could take forever or not happen at all.

If you have contacted the school district, and have spoken to the school board members, then I suggest you contact your state's Office of the Superintendent of Instruction and tell them that you will be having your lawyer contact them if they do not take action. Bullying is a very serious issue and many states have strict laws against it. Do not let this go unaddressed.

You need to tell a school official.  This behavior is unacceptable.  The school has a responsibility to curb this and protect you.  If the school does nothing the next time this happens, call the police and press charges.  The school will have liability as well and you may be able to sue them for doing nothing.  Good luck.

Point out that their obvious lack of civility is undoubtedly the reason why kids are sent to schools instead of staying with their parents for an education.\n\nBarring that, I would say to lodge a complaint to the administration and then grieve to your union rep about the lack of protections from abuse in the workplace. Basically, get the parent wrapped up in a huge legal quagmire. ;)

As there are so many rules and regulations for teachers and staff at schools they can't do much. I am not making excuses at all for them as I was bullied while in school and nothing was done. The worst thing that the school can do is chuck the muppets out but thats really what the bullies want. \nI think teachers, parents and students should come together to figure out an effective way of dealing with the problems that occur in school hours and after. That way if the parents back the school then the school will not get into trouble for what they are doing.\n\nI dont they would ever become your boss, I help run a company and I know that the people who used to bully me are sat at home doing nothing but getting fat!

Hi,\n\nSome good responses, my thinking goes very much along the lines of private.online.\n\n- You need to remain calm and be polite, then if the student is rude in return you can say you are treating them respectfully and expect the same. If not, then you see no reason to continue the discussion at that time (eg. they may have to stay in at lunch or after school to continue the discussion - usually this get them to be more agreeable).\n- When something isnt right deal with it, that way eventually students will understand everything has a consequence and they then make the choice of doing the right thing or wrong thing (not you by looking away).\n- Not saying why is a very good point - doesnt matter why they did it, as it was obviously wrong (I often catch myself sometimes half asking why).\n- Talk over incidents with other staff to gauge if the student has issues (and how they handle it - studnets generally ahve a good repore with at least one teacher, so find that person) or just a bad day. If it is issues then by all means approach the parents, and when they say thats not their child you can mention its not isolated to you. But above all, reinforce you are trying to help and stop the behaviour not punish the child.\n- Lastly, make an effort to get to know the child and be positive with them. I had a student who can be a problem and yet he generally behaves becuase I took the time to talk through his issues so he feel I treat him fairly (his words) . Whereas, for some other teachers he lets loose becuase he feels they focus on him not his behaviour so he gives them that behaviour (or in his eyes what they expect based on his perception of how they treat him).\n\nLastly, for me personally I dont confront a student in class or deal with it in front of the whole class - if you do thats the best way to get a stand off. The student doesnt want to lose face and then the last thing they care about is resolving the issue.  Better to take them aside, or move them and deal with it as soon as you can - but if they wont allow this them remove them and when their parents ask why you can say they made the choice to be removed not you, by refusing the other options.

I had an art teacher in high school who was hit three times in her life. I'm not lying and I'm pretty sure she wasn't either. I know one of them happened at school. She was crazy.

If you have spoken to the principal and a representative at the central office I would next go to a school board meeting and sign up to be on the agenda. Most school board meetings are public and have a sort of open mike portion where parents and other community members can be heard. If that doesn't work I would call the State Department of Education and find out who investigates unprofessional practice in schools. In my state it is an independent commission called the professional practices commission and a link to it is required by law to be on the front page of the State Department of Education Web Site. Good luck. The other advice you have been given is pretty good too. Another important resource is the Office of Civil Rights (OCR) of the Federal Department of Health and Human Services. They will take you very seriously.

It's very unlikely that the board has its own website.  If it does it should be linked from your school's website.  You don't mention at all what "issues" you are referring to.  If this is something that may involve a violation of law, your best bet is to have an attorney contact the school administrators.  If it's not something that warrants a lawsuit, once you've exhausted the entire chain of command (up through the superintendent), you next step would be to call the board president and ask to be placed on the agenda for their next meeting.  All board meetings are public, and at the very least the public must be afforded an opportunity to express their views.\n\nHave you attempted to resolve this with the teacher yourself?  Unless it is actually a legal issue (in which case you should have gone straight to your lawyer), you'll almost certainly make more progress by dealing with it directly rather than going around the teacher to people who really don't know the exact situation.

In my experience, it's extremely rare that a kid has all these things done to them without them doing anything to cause or perpetuate it.  So my first question would be to your daughter, "What are you doing to them?"  And if she says nothing there's a good chance -- excellent chance -- you aren't getting the whole story.  \n\nSecond, talk to the teacher.  Don't be accusatory or rude or hotheaded, just explain that you're hearing about these issues and want to share them with the teacher, find out what's going on and stop them from occurring.  When parents skip teachers and go straight to principals it does tick off the teachers.  Show the teacher some respect -- again, good chance the story you're getting at home is not really what's happening.\n\nFinally, you would talk to a principal -- but you have to work your way up to it and you have to be willing to accept that your daughter is probably not the angel she's making herself out to be.  I can't see when you would ever talk to other kids parents unless you already know them.
