  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 say first talk to the teacher, and express your concerns. In the meantime, if you notice things do not change, then I would advise to go to the supervisor. It may not be a racial thing, but perhaps a behavior management tactic. It also could be that the parents want him in the back for whatever reason. If none of that is the case though, something needs to be done so this student can succeed in the classroom. If none of that helps, maybe you could spend some time in the classroom since it is such young grades, you could even involve him yourself. Or while you are dropping your son off, if you see his parents maybe make some small talk about the student.

Comments: This could be a good idea, but I would not go to the parents directly without first speaking with the administration.
