Teacher should be shot.........how dare that person treat your child in such a fashion! As a kid whose family moved.......and moved.........and moved........i was often the butt of bullies. It wasn't until much later in life that i found direct confrontation to work for me. I knew that they were jackasses, objectively.......but cruel treatment, regardless of understanding the source, is painful. I hate it! Howzabout your son asking: Why did you do that? and wait for the answer?
