For parents: How would you deal with a difficult teacher?

That is really the worst. My daughter has a horrible teacher for Language Arts. I can't wait for the end of the year so she is not in this woman's class anymore. The lady talks down to me and to all the kids. She bombards me with phone calls and emails telling me how bad my kid is doing but, gives no suggestions on how to help her.

I would sent my husband to the school to talk with him or her. I lose my temper faster than he does when it comes to things like this and so it is easier to send him. I have had to deal with difficult teachers in the past. Now that we home school we don't have to deal with those kinds of issues.

My son is a 5th grader, his teacher would call me every other day telling me all this different problems my son would do in his class. I got frustrated for all this phone calls I've been getting from him. My son's teacher and I are working in the same school. I went to his class one after school and then told him that not just because were co-workers doesn't mean that he can keep calling me in my class and tell me all this problem that my son is doing in his class. His a teacher so he should know what to do when a student misbehaves in class. But still the next day he still calls. So I went to the Principal, now I haven't got any phone calls from him. But whenever I go for my prep, I would go to my son's class for a visit.
