Help!! My son's teacher yells and screams at her class and telling them about kids dying. What can I do??

Question:My son's teacher yells and screams at her class. At lunch on the first day I heard her tell one boy "was I talking to you? No, I wasn't so shut up!" On the third day my mother took my son's inhaler to him and she witnessed her smarting off to the class, but she was super nice to my mom. Yesterday my son told me that his teacher told them about a school shooting where the shooter pulled the fire alarm so the students would come outside and he could kill them. Today she told them a little girl burned up in a school fire because she had her shoes off and was trying to get them back on. I'm at my wits end because this is only his fourth day of third grade! Now, he says he is afraid to go back to school!! I've never had this problem before. PLEASE HELP!!

Answers:
If she yells at students then it's probable that the principal has heard it too. And, since he/she hasn't fixed it, obviously doesn't care.

Take it to your school board.

I've learned in recent years that taking things to the boss just doesn't help anymore. The boss will always protect their subordinates because it reflects upon them too. Take it all the way to the top and let them rain down. Complain to the school board with a copy to the Supt. of Schools.

Get more than a couple to make the same complaint and Little Miss IHateMyJob will be invited to find a new one.
sounds like she had crack with her cornflakes, talk to the Supervisor of Education in a formal letter format, if you don't hear something within three days follow up with a phone call...
Talk to the teacher, and if you do not get any satisfaction, talk to the principal.
I suggest that you speak to the principal about this problem. You could even go as far as taking it to the superintendent of the school district to report her.
tell him to take it light
OMG!!Can your son get a recording of these remarks??You need to report her right away to the principal or superintendent!Have other parents complained? Sounds like she needs to be fired!!
The teacher really needs help!
but also make sure your son is ok after all of this crazy negative influence
tell the principal or take him out of the school
Go to the principal and get him out of the class. If necessary,go over the Principal's head.It would help to have a note from your child's Doctor that he is being traumatized. Make sure you let other parents know what is happening. write down everything you see or hear or that your child tells you. Remain calm and reasonable. The contact the agency in your state that licenses or certifies teachers, and complain. Ninety-nine percent f the teachers in this country do it because they like kids and want to do a good job. We just have to figure out what to do with the other one percent.
WOW
tell the principal
hopefully she'll get fired
report this to the higher authorities at the school immediately, this is ABUSE. If they won't do anything see if you can get your child out of that class, if need be, out of that school. Kids don't need to be verbal abused while they are trying to learn !! This woman has mental problems. I know she is probably trying to be tough and scare the kids into behaving, this is NOT how it's done. Horrible.
In an age of school shootings and lock downs, many teachers discuss history and "what ifs" with their class. In my inner city third grade class we discuss what they should do if they felt uncomfortable because a parent was in the room and irate. We have tornado drills, fire drills, and lockdown drills so we discuss how they can feel safe in case I am dealing with an out of control parent.
Also, there is a difference between raising your voice and "yells and screams". The parents who don't agree with discipline in a classroom are usually the ones who say the teacher "yells and screams." Like it or not, good teacher or bad teacher, you and your son have her for 180 school days. It is a life lesson. You won't always have teachers you like or teachers who are good, just like in adulthood you don't always have bosses you like or bosses who are good. Deal with the 180 days by supporting your son, but also support the teacher. Do not talk bad about her in front of your child. If you disagree with her methods, discuss it privately with her. Take this opportunity to teach your child how to get along with all types of people.
Call the school and ask too see the principle or if they have one a Guidance Councilor .
I'm a teacher myself and on behalf of these students who can't speak for themselves I would feel a moral obligation to discuss this with the principal.Take all of your info.Try to document the dates as well.I'd demand that the student switch teachers.My 2nd choice would be to just ask that the princip. talks w/ the Tr.about what's appropriat.Don't worry about if the princip. likes you because your child will be spending over 1000 hrs. with this witch.Even if the princip. is receptive remind him/her that u will also be discussing this with the superintendent(which should give you some leverage).I've witnessed other Tr.'s rude behavior and if it was my child I'd do all I could to get him out of there.If u get lucky and he's switched don't breathe a word to the other parents.If asked say it's personal or that the principal has asked for confidentiality and u don't want to breech that.If any parents agree with you have them approach the princip. w/ u..keep in mind that then they'll know why he's switched though.I hope it all works out and it breaks my heart that some Trs. are like that :(
A friend of mine told me that her son had his first grade school teacher ride them so strictly the first month, it was not a pleasant thing to go to school. She had to speak with the teacher about her intention teaching these children with such strictness; fortunately there was no abuse at the level you are speaking of.

This woman is out of control and the children are going to suffer.

First make notes exactly what your son has said and what day. Have your mother record her experience in the same notebook. With this information in hand, speak to the teacher about what her son is saying and ask for what the intention is to speak with a child in this manner. Record her answer.

Ask other parents if they have heard stories of this teacher from their children in this class. Record their stories.

If need be, join with other parents and take all information to the principal. And if necessary, move on to the school board.

Do not waste any time. ALL these children will suffer from this woman's abuse the longer it goes on.

Continue to record what your son shares with you.

You may have to end up with a network of parents being classroom monitors if you cannot get this woman's attitude changed or removed.

Just document it all, present it without any 'spin' and hopefully, the principal will act swiftly.

That's what school administrators are for!Talk to them immediatly,if your son is scared to be in school then he is being deprived of an education.She is intimadating the kids and that is emotional abuse.She might be aware of it,or she is trying to "Shock and Awe" them into submission.Many teachers have a hard time dealing with 30 students at once,especially in Elementary school.That's why most rookie teachers are paired with veterans in their training.You should be able to arrange a transfer to another class.
Go and tell her do not yell at the class and if she does it again go and give her some words then go and com-pain to the head afficial in charge.
That is terrible!! Tell the principal that this teacher is making your son feel unsafe at school. This is very serious. If the principal doesn't do anything, enlist the help of the parents of the other students in the class.

Part of the job of the teacher is to make all students feel safe at school. I hope this gets straightened out.
First off, that teacher is freaking nuts. She should not be allowed near children. Your best bet is to talk to the principal since the teacher will most likely deny everything or make up some bad excuse for her behavior.
I would definitely talk to the principal about this matter. The teacher may be removed from the school. However, you might still request to have your son moved to a different class. As a teacher, I stongly feel that learning should be a fun and pleasant experience. Unfortunately, this is not the case for your son and his classmates.

You never know, maybe some parents have the same concerns and are just waiting for someone to speak up.
