Is your daughter making it up? If not do what is best according to you. To a principal in most cases it's normal to take side for his/her employees. And if it comes to the teacher, I doubt you will find many who will admit what your daughter is saying is true.

My older daughter had a friend on her little league team years ago who had a teacher that called her stupid in class. The mom of this girl eventually went to the principal and the district and had her daughter removed from that class. I think she was 12, or 13, and it was bad enough the teacher had the balls to say it anyway, she also did it to her face and in front of other students. It really made other students uncomfortable and it was the coming forward of several students who weren't even close friends with this girl that got the teacher in trouble. A principal can't really ignore something when several unrelated students go with their parents to report something like this.

i really hate if the principal or even the teacher or the adviser is one sided person where they never hear and understand your side,its really hard to deal with this kind of people,because even how will you explain it they will never accept your reason.

I have heard people sending devices with their kids to record what is going on. I would hope that she is not, but I definitely would not try to tell my daughter that she did not. If she was doing it, hopefully it stops, knowing that it has been brought up.

Wow, I am sorry to hear that. I would of thought they would address your concerns better, not accuse your daughter of making it up.

That is terrible when both the teacher and the principle are not buying the story. They are sticking together. I would go to her guidance conselor to see if he/she can straighten the whole thing out. How about another pupil in the classroom. They are there and would be considered a witness to the way the teacher is talking to her and treating her. It has to be so annoying to your daughter when she feels and sees what is happening but no one believes her.

I absolutely hate it when something like this happens in the schools because there is no reason at all that these children should be lying about what is going on in the classroom.
If this meeting that you've had at the school doesn't have any kind of impact on what is going on in the classroom at all, about the only thing that I can think of that you might be able to do would be to send your daughter to school with a recorder and get her recording some of the things that her teacher is saying to her. If it is on tape it cannot be denied.

Send your daughter to school with a small recording device in her pocket. When she arrives at school she can turn it on. If the teacher makes any unacceptable comments towards your daughter, you will then have record of it, including proof that your daughter did not say anything first. How old is your daughter, and how long has this particular teacher been employed here?
I know there may be people who claim you can't use this as evidence, but in a she said = she said situation, it's enough proof to show the teacher lied and did so to cover her own butt. The behavior by itself is crappy enough, lying about it to avoid having to stop behaving that way is even worse.

Hi poppopop111 I had responded this morning when I read your discussion. I just read this response and cannot believe that the teacher would say this and make matters worse. Hopefully someone who has been a teacher will be able to give you direction in this matter I am so sorry things did not go well.

my mother is a teacher too and she witness a lot of same situation. And everytime this happens she always reports it to the School District. or the Department of Education in our country. so my advice Go directly to the school district to file a complaint against them.

That is the normal thing,just hand everything over to God.The principal can not side you or your daughter,He or she is also trying to be protected,especially where there is no tangible evidence.
