Parent Teacher Conferences can SUCK IT!

You may or may not know that my DD11 has had issues with her main homeroom teacher since the first day of school. DD reports the teacher has picked on her, hollered at her in front of the class numerous times, accused her of talking almost daily when she wasn't even talking, moved her to another seat and threatened to send her to the principal's office.

Let me tell you one thing about DD. She is 11 and has NEVER ONE TIME been in trouble at school FOR ANYTHING EVER. She has never been gotten onto by a  teacher for any thing at all. I have only ever gotten praises from her teachers for how quiet and good she is and how she comes to class and shuts up and does her work and does what she's told. So for this teacher to be picking on her like that kind of threw me and upset me a little bit.

So I couldn't take it any more. I wrote the teacher a letter. I sent a copy of it to the guidance councilor and the principal so if we had a parent teacher conference someone else would know what it was about and could be there for it.

Almost 2 weeks after I sent the letter her teacher finally called me. Said she had tried to call me a few weeks ago. (Didn't happen) And said she wanted to set up a time to have a conference. We agreed on the very next day.

I showed up right on time, she met me in the lobby and we both went into the principal's meeting room/table thing. She began by telling me What A SHOCK my letter was to her. She said she had to read it several times because she HAS NO IDEA what I am talking about. She said she doesn't pick on DD, she has never hollered at DD, she didn't move DD because she is a talker and she never threatened to send DD to the principal's office. I asked her, UM SO I guess my DD is hallucinating all this? She claims that DD is NOT a talker and has never gotten talked to or in trouble in her class and that there is no problem AT ALL. Her other two teachers also said there has been no problems with my DD and she IS NOT a talker.

SO she kept repeating her story that all of it was a shock to her and none of it is true. Of course she is not going to admit in front of the principal YEAH I have been harassing your DD and being meant to her MY BAD. No. She denied denied denied. So we basically left it at she was telling the truth and my DD was imagining everything. No resolution whatsoever.

DD told me the VERY NEXT DAY after the parent teacher meeting where teacher denies EVER getting onto DD for talking, got onto her AGAIN for talking that she wasn't doing. DD tries to tell her it wasn't her talking, tries to tell her WHO IT WAS that was talking and teacher tells her I DON'T WANNA HEAR IT. SO now what to do? Let it keep going on and build up again and have another parent teacher conference? All they really have to do is make the teacher leave the room and ask the kids she sits with if teacher ever gets onto DD for talking or has ever threatened to send her to the principal. The kids will tell the truth. But they won't do that. They will take this woman's word as the truth when I know for a fact she was sitting there lying through her teeth.

I'm not sure what I will do from here but I won't tolerate this all year.
