Education

We have a problem with my sons teacher, 4th grade. Its an abuse of power. The teacher humiliated my son in front of the class. after we contacted the teacher to figure out if the issue was something my son did. we realize the teacher is on her high horse. the next day the teacher addressed the class about lies and time consumption on the phone again addressing my son. we were at the school this morning and have not sent him back, a meeting with the teacher and vice principal are tomorrow however they don't want to move him out of the class. we will not send him back for more abuse. what or where do we go from here. I believe the teacher should lose her job, criminal charges should be brought, or a law suit against the school ( i believe they are liable) we need some help?

If a teacher is caught not in his classroom but in his office which has no view of the classroom, and is not overseeing his students, and said students sexually assaulted 2 girls and as result police charge 4 boys in the matter. Plus, in a second class the same teacher is in his office not classroom and is aware that a strip card game is going on in the unattended classroom but only cares that the students involved are clothed. Can said teacher be fired per Alabama state tenure law? Why, if so, is the teacher protected. Children were sexually attacked as a result of his neglect to supervise his class. I would also like to know what rights a student has against bullying by teachers and fellow students.

I teach school at a middle school in Texas and I was informed that I had made a major violation of FERPA laws when I rewarded kids who had passed the TAKS test with a pizza party. I sent the list of names of the kids who were to participate on the schools e-mail. The results of the test had been released to parents previously, so I didn't think there was any violation. Did I violate FERPA? If I did, what should I expect from my principal? I don't recall any previous training on reward parties for kids who passed the test after the results were sent home to parents. Do I need legal protection? What kind of lawyer would I need?

My son was involved in an altercation at school. The incident was a result of my son being haraased by another student. This result in a push and shove match and the other student fell. It was determined that no malices was intended by my son. Before this determination was made by law enforcement and with out being witness to the altercation the pricncipal sent out a letter impliating that my child was the aggressor of this incident and had several other statements based on the hear say of 12-13 yr old children. I also have witness saying that my son did not inciated this altercation. My son was made out to be a monster. When I confront the principal, I was told that she will not speak to me . When I advised her of my intent to file a law suit for defamation she threaten my child with expoltion which is to be determined shortly. What are my legal rights as a parent as well as my sons?

School policies and procedures states: Excessive tardies will be punished by the principal. Case: Student (fifth grade) was tardy four times during the 9 weeks to school in the morning. Principal stated the child would receive a paddling. The parents were not informed by the school of the rule or that the child would be paddled. The child came home from school upset and told the parents. Parents would not allow child to be paddled and the child was suspended for one day. In fact, the parents provided a physician note that the child has asthma which may require breathing treatments causing the child to be tardy in the mornings. School board reaction: The note must be provided within two days. (Handbook states this about absences not tardies)What does the law state and where can I find guidance?.
