I just need to vent. My son is in middle school. He\u2019s had his share of great teachers and okay teachers, but never malicious or bad teachers\u2026 his teacher this year is BAD. My oldest is a good kid. He is sweet, quiet, empathetic\u2026 but he\u2019s also a middle school boy, who thinks fart jokes are hilarious and is disorganized and wants to do anything but schoolwork. He isn\u2019t disruptive. He follows the rules. But this teacher HATES him. All caps. She picks on him in class. She has pulled him to the front of the class to scold him several times (he is deep in the \u201cplease don\u2019t draw attention to me\u201d phase, so it was humiliating.) She will write notes on his work that are nit-picky and rude. The worst is that when she gives assignments if they are not done exactly as she wants, down to word choice, she gives him an automatic \u201c0.\u201d The reason for this rant is that tonight I get a notification that a project my son spent days working on, doing research, putting together – he received a \u201c0\u201d because she \u201cdidn\u2019t like the font used on slide 7 – please re-do project.\u201d WTF. He was in tears when I told him. And she means it, he has to RE-DO the whole project. Because of the FONT! Not the wording, not the content, the FONT. I cannot. I\u2019ve talked to the dean of students already, who basically said, \u201cyeah, she\u2019s like that.\u201d I\u2019ve been told that complaining to her or about her would be pointless, as she is well-connected, well-respected, and is \u201cfree to set the grading standards of her choosing.\u201d I have told my son, \u201cI don\u2019t care what grade you get, you just have to get through the next 4.5 months and you\u2019ll never have to deal with her again!\u201d As if the pandemic hasn\u2019t made our kids lives hard enough! Is it May yet?!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
