Oh!!.. how would you help your child who is scared of his teacher? I heard of one kid who does not want to go to school because his teacher is so strict and when she is angry, her eyes is too big.. according to the child and he is so scared to see his teacher. How would you deal with the situation?

I think that first of all the Teacher should try to be friendly with the student . Secondly;he or she should try to analyze as if why the student is afraid of him or her and should try to remove that fear from his mind.As far as this profession is concerned a person should not be aggressive and should always try to behave like a mother because a mother can easily understand his requirements.

Well, that's a good point. But there are kids who will abuse the kindness of the teacher sometimes, that's the reason why teachers are strict to the point that hey will appear monster to the children. Unfortunately..not a good picture. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

I was in a similar situation when my daughter was in 4th grade. She always loved and did well in school, within a month she hated school. I knew some of the parents of other children in the class and we discussed this teacher. Some children were crying and afraid of school everyday. My daughter would cry while doing homework if it was challenging because she didn't want the teacher to yell at her. This teacher called children stupid and told the children that they made her want to quite. I encouraged my daughter to "respectfully" tell this teacher, in private" how she made her feel. It got so bad that I had to have a meeting with the vice princepal and I knew I wasn't the only parent who did. Looking back I wish I would have requested one with my child, vice princepal and the teacher, perhaps that would work for you. In my situation the vice princepal went to the teacher and then the teacher approached my child,pulled her in to the during recess and cried to her, asking her,"why do you hate me." My daughter said that they had a good cry and that things were better between them, even though I was angry and this teacher still treated other children badly. I guess, it worked out a little for us because this teacher knew that I wasn't the quiet, stand by kind of parent, even though I was extremely upset that she had her private discussion with my daughter. I would suggest you take a day to sit in the class and get a feel for her before deciding what to do. I'm sure she'll put on a show for you, but at least she will know that You know that something isn't right.

Well, that's a good idea but many parents don't want to complain because they are afraid that their kids will be hated by the teacher when the teacher know that somebody complain about her/his dealing with the kids. It is a stressful situation to the children in the class. I think it is good that the principal would advice the teacher.. before the PTA would take action on this. Thanks for sharing.
