pissed off

[alexisdefinedby]

Lili told me last night of an incident in which her teacher grabbed her face and shook her head back and forth because of a math problem that Lili did incorrectly (she answered it correctly, but didn't show her work). I am so incredibly pissed off about it and want to kick her teacher's ass. Lili said that she is not the only one this has happened

I called a friend of mine who also has a daughter in Lili's class to let her know what's up and also because Lili had told me that this girl also receives a lot of verbal abuse. This ia another thing with this teacher, she yells at the kids a lot. I understand that you have to be strict sometimes but I think she goes about it in the wrong way, it's more belittling rather than instructing. Lili's 2nd grade teacher was really strict but in a way that the kids respected and he was never mean about it.

As soon as I can find the student directory that's around here someplace, I am going to contact another one of the parents because Lili told me that a boy in her class had been shaken by the shoulders by the teacher once for talking. She also said that another boy also gets touched frequently as well. She seems to have a problem with certain students in class, while others are favored. I think if I get enough parents together we can do something about it. I will also check out some parents' rights groups in the area to see what my options are, thanks for the suggestion.
