  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 agree that this is wronf of the teacher, but you may never know what the 2 children may have done prior to the activity to be treated this way. The teacher may be using a process of exclusion. Ive heard that ignoring the kids makes them want to behave more. Maybe the 2 students have done something to cause the teacher to ignore them?

Comments: I do not believe that ignoring a child is an effective consequence. While I do not want to make any judgements, it appears that the teachers behavior is targeted towards two caucasian children. I would continue to observe and then make my decision on the next step if the teachers exclusionary behavior towards these two children continues.

Comments: Although it's easy for the teacher to ignore students whether they are for calling out or bad behavior, it's not going to resolve the issue.

Comments: I agree because yes there are two stories to the story. It can easily be assumed that the teacher was ignoring the child but if the child had been misbehaving earlier that day it will somewhat explain the compliance the teacher had.
