This is always a difficult situation because it involves someone who works directly with our child(ren). Document the reasons you think that the teacher/coach is involved in bullying behaviour. Set up a meeting with the individual and let him/her know that some situations have been brought to your attention and you need help clarifying some things. Approach the situation as a problem-solving meeting. Start by saying that this is a very difficult thing to have to bring up. Listen to the responses given, and see if there is a change in behaviour (escalation or de-escalation) or if things remain the same. If nothing changes or things get worse, contact the person at the next administrative level. Keep a very close eye on your child and see how things go for him/her. You may want to keep in contact with the person and let him/her know what changes you are seeing. *Note - this question part of the book "How Parents Can Take Action Against Bullying"

Talk to the Teacher, Superintendent, Local News Save those text messages. Could be used as evidence. Talk to the teacher in question, have a conference. Contact the Superintendent. Contact the entire school board. Even let them know you will contact the local news if you are not seeing them doing anything about this. I've had a situation where even bringing up reporting to local news channels resolved it. It was about state issuance of funds, but never the less, it's effective. By the way, I was verbally bullied by a teacher in high school who hated my political and religious beliefs and had her try to turn the class against me. Government class, this was. I also had a substitute teacher in elementary school yank me out of my chair by the arm for, what I remember, I was not paying attention. I'll pray for your daughter. |

Talk to others If it is one teacher, talk to other teachers your daughter has. I have worked with teachers who I know were picking on students - but as a fellow teacher, my hands are tied. I'm not in the class with her, and I can put my two cents in with administration, but it gets shrugged off, since the other teacher is my equal. However, if any parent ever came to me (and I did try to contact some of them, but they ignored it - the teacher chose her victims well) I would have backed up the parent with the administration, and then consequences could have been brought to bare. |
