I've read Raising Cain and do agree. I'm just really wary of making waves in the school since I'm afraid the teachers and principal will close ranks and defend the teacher at the expense of my son and family. We have three children who will all be attending this school for K-5 in the coming years. This is a teacher with 15 years at the school who I've heard nothing but great things about from other families. I just imagine even moving him to another classroom would be a terrible battle that I probably wouldn't win.
Maybe I'm being too negative about my options?
I had spoken to the guidance counselor when this whole behavior fiasco began. I think it's time for me to talk to her again.

living a crazy life with 3 boys
I am thinking now
of grief, and of getting past it;
I feel my boots
trying to leave the ground,
I feel my heart
pumping hard. I want
to think again of dangerous and noble things.
I want to be light and frolicsome.
I want to be improbable beautiful and afraid of nothing,
as though I had wings.

What did the counselor say?
I am very with you on not making huge waves on the teacher, but there is still 75% of the school year to go. I would be very seriously considering pushing for a classroom change at this point.
I think you need a sit down meeting with the principal with no one else there. Lay out your concerns, what you have seen to date and see what they suggest.Beth, mom to older DD (8/01) and younger DD (10/06) and always missing Leah (4/22 - 5/1/05)
