Guys - would appreciate guidance on a teacher giving really tough time to my son. I am not able to determine the teacher's behavior is appropriate to what extent. Details are....

I always advise dialogue with the teacher in question. The trouble with these things is that they are going through your son who cannot possibly give an impartial view given he’s emotionally involved. You should take time to talk to the teacher - adult to adult. Then depending upon the outcome of that, decide your next steps....

Thanks guys. We talked to the teacher and she said that she will not do it again in front of other student. We also agreed to have to teach our son to cut down on asking off topic questions. It seems that is her per peeve.

Good that you took that step OP. Also a good teachable moment for your son that there are going to be people he doesn’t always get along with and him dealing with that in as reasonable a way as possible will always help him. Hard to say things like this to a fourth grader, but it’s an okay thing to mention now and continue to remind him over the years. Anyway - good job with the follow up with the teacher

Situation 1: This teacher is a 4th grade teacher and known for being strict. She asked my son to write a statement on a page that "He was talking and disturbing other kids in the classroom and a bunch of other things that he swears he did not do". He was tattertaled by a few kids who sit on his table. The teacher made him write the note while there were other kids in the class. She embarrassed my son in front of other students.

Situation 2: my son a lengthy write up on a topic. He did not indent the paragraph. She asked if the third grade teacher "Ms. X" did not teach indentation. My son said he doesn't remember if she taught or not. Then she asked in front of all kids if "Ms. X" taught indentation in 3rd grade. All kids said yes. My son felt embarrassed again.

My son is gifted and talented. In 3rd grade, he was ranked in top 10 kids in California in Math competition and the way she is teaching math, he is almost failing. 60% is the pass grade.

Other parents have told their kids to just deal with her this year and hope they do not get someone like this next year.

What recourse do I have. From what I have heard, the Principal sides with the teacher. Should I reach out to the School District or should I send a lettwr from lawyer threatening a lawsuit. I also have another kid who is in 1st grade. The teacher union is strong in our district. I am afraid that any action that I take can have negative impact on my younger child.

Please advise.

Curiosity as a pet peeve? Still sounds like a lame teacher. Glad the immediate issue of embarrassment-as
-punishment is resolved. Totally uncalled for.

Hi all,
I’m currently working for a small technical consulting start-up firm. I make good money, have great benefits, and they seem very happy with the work I’m doing, so I know I could move up quickly. However, tech consulting is definitely not my dream job. I want to get into data analytics, and I have an offer from a big company to do just that. I’ve only been at my current company for about 8 months, but I don’t ever see myself loving this job. How do I know when it’s time to make a change?
