Trying to Take the High Road
I had Son#3 'evaluated' today from a woman in our Public School system who does this for a living... as well as teaches Kindergartners and First Graders how to read. He tested out at 5 years and 5 months. Amazing. My kid is 3 days ahead of his evaluation... he's 5 years 4 months and 27 days.
His teacher can kiss my A$s.
I spoke to his pre-school teacher from last year as well as another teacher who knows him and they both told me that I would do a huge injustice to listen to his current teacher and ever consider holding him back. I wasn't considering it.

Today she said to me, "He sure is a talker. We know on a day that Son#3 is absent, our day would be very quiet." I did not take that as a compliment. I took it personally.

It is going to be extraorinarily difficult for me to be civil to her. My gut instinct is to throw his evaluation in her face and tell her what I think of this 'specialist' that joined us in our conference. But I will attempt to take the high road with that whole saying about honey vs. lemons and bees.
But for now, whenever I see her, I smile sweetly, say nice things, but repeatedly in my mind, over and over and over, I say:
You can Kiss My A$s.

So Bou, I'm not quite sure, do you like the teacher or not? You should really just say what you mean! ;) muwahahaha (my evil laugh)
Not gonna be easy, and I give you huge kudos for that. Heck, I'm not even the Mom and I want to tell her off.
LW Here. If you can switch classes, do it. A teacher like that can do tremendous harm, and will never, ever consider or admit that they may be wrong. After all, she is doing it "for the children." Feh.
Oh come on, just tell her! Go ahead, you can do it!
Oh, okay, I guess you can't. I'm with the others -- look for a way to move him from that class.
I don't think I'd let the Wicked Witch of the West get anywhere near my a$$. Maybe let her kiss your big toe or something . . .
Just get him out of there and realize that this is one of "those" teachers. I'm guessing your son is bright and probably a little bored in her underachieving class. See if you can put him somewhere that will challenge him and play up his strengths while working to improve his weaknesses. At least she didn't try to force you to put him on ritalin..... He deserves better than that.
