She then decided to place a recording device in her son’s backpack and recorded four days worth of Aaron’s classes.

What a witch of a teacher.
Florida is a two-way consent state. She may be in trouble for this.
What?
That's a long time to be a teacher. Kids today aren't like they were in 1985. She's probably burned out. Time to retire.
BULLY I had a nun torture me on a daily basis. I got over it.
When I was in third grade, I was caught (there’s a surprise) by my teacher trying to forge my father’s signature on my report card, which was awful.
I was made to stand in front of the class while the teacher explained to the class how I tried to forge a signature, and she lectured the class about forgery, the punishment for forgery, and how if I were an adult, I would be locked up behind bars.
It sounds harsh, but I admit, I never tried to forge anything again after that.
The whole thing seems weird to me...the teacher treating a kindergartner that way, using the tests they were using...what the heck goes on in Kindergarten these days?
Don’t kids even get a chance to be kids anymore?
The union sees to it that teachers stick together and cover for eack other. This woman has bought her kid years of “Hell School” for dissing a educator.
“Teacher of the Year” thought she was bulletproof. At least this wasn’t racist, judging by her accent, other than self-loathing.
What I don’t understand is why a five-year-old is being pressured to “do his work” and take tests with correct or incorrect answers, quite aside from the shaming. Children that age should be learning through play, singing songs, happy little chants, educational toys, fun games, little rewards and positive reinforcement. This is all wrong on every level.
I believe a teacher trying to correct a student is O.K. generally, but calling kids out to their peers in class, calling groups of kids losers, and bringing into the class parent-techer relationships are all an abuse of power not in a mode of helping or teaching.
Shaming a kid for acting up, acting disruptive in class, is a wholy different thing than shaming a kid with his/her peers for merely making a mistake. It is no educational purpose.
I had to tranfer out of my algebra II class in highschool. My algebra teacher was my football coach on the high school “B” (freshman) team and he was also my brother’s coach on the JV team (junior varsity) football team. My algebra II teacher would spend the 1st 15 minutes of algebra class every day telling the class why I would never be as good a football player as my brother. In reality he never spent a second of time really trying to “coach” anyone. He expected everyone who could ever be worth anything already knew everything and if not they’d never learn anyway.
I went to my dean, and he went to the principal but nothing changed until he got me transferred out of the class, with an “incomplete” grade for half the semester. I still enjoyed football, no matter how much he tried to make my life misearble on and off the football field. Yes, from experience, I know teachers can get on power trips instead of teaching.
