  Case: My Son's Teacher
I have a 3 year old son in Pre-K. When I first enrolled him in this school everything seemed fined. He liked his teacher and started gaining a lot of friends. One day while I was visiting his class I noticed that his teacher was ignoring a white student sitting in the back of the classroom. I didn't say anything because I assumed he was in time out. As time passed she kept ignoring him. Whenever he wanted to participate with the class she just smiled and said nothing. Story time she made him sit in the back. He's already the only white male in the class, there's a female but she treats her the same. I'm not sure why she treats him like this but I know this isn't right. I don't want to cause any problems but I cannot sit back and continue to let her treat that innocent boy that way. What can I do to help him?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I'm trying to be optimistic here, but maybe the child has upset the teacher in some way. Is there a chance that she's ignoring him because she feels like she doesn't want to waste all of her time on one problematic student, instead of simply because of his race? Let's hope so! Now, if you're in the classroom and hear her make comments about his race, that's another story!

Comments: There is no reason a teacher should be treating a child this way. The teacher is an adult and needs to act like it. She shouldn't be ignoring a student. No matter what the student did.

Comments: Even if a child did do something to upset the teacher it is not right to personally take it out on any student. That is not professional.

Comments: Jumping to conclusions/excuses for the teacher is just as wrong as not speaking to the teacher first regarding the problem.
