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 would ask the teacher to step aside and talk with me about why she has him in the back of the classroom. Then I would bring the issue to the principle and ask her to address it with the teacher. |

Comments: This may come across as confrontational and create an additional problem. Involving the principle so quickly will create tension before there is a solution. |

Comments: It would be best to observe the teacher first before talking to them. Then if the situation still continued I would then get administration involved. Otherwise the teacher may think that you are attacking them. |

Comments: Although the issue needs to be addressed, I do not believe a non-parent of the child should approach the teacher. Discuss the issue with administration. |

Comments: This is not the best solution. Discussing and asking the teacher is appropriate, but pulling aside and away form the class is not your role. This topic should be discussed in private and definitely not in front of the class |

Comments: I do not think this solution is helpful because there are better ways to address the issue besides talking to the teacher once and then immediately going to the principal. There has to be more understanding of the classroom. |
