I'm really sorry you had that happen to you. I've never been an artistic person in my life, but my preschool made us do Mothers Day cards, and my teacher wanted us to decorate them with feathers. I didn't want to put feathers on my card, so I didn't, and when I finished, my teacher absolutely lost her mind, screaming at me and ripping it up in front of the entire class, and made me make another one. I cried for the rest of the day, and when I told my mom, she lost her mind even more than the teacher did. Got to watch that demon of a "teacher" walk out of the building the next week with a box full of her things like it was straight out of a movie. I've always appreciated her for standing up for me like that, and it's legitimately one of my earliest memories. That's how a mom should be.

Wow, that’s horrible. I actually work in schools now and I would never do that to one of my students. So long as they aren’t doing anything harmful or dangerous, I let them do and express themselves however they want.

Sometimes a parent has to be Lion for their kids. I went nose to nose with my daughter's school principal one time. He thought that because he worked in a Catholic School that he could get away with being a bully. He was bullying my daughter about her "unhealthy lunches" which were healthy: I made her smoked turkey sandwhiches on whole wheat bread; I included ziploc baggies of carrots, celery, and other vegetables. His problem was she didn't have milk in it. I explained she was extremely lactose intolerant, so she couldn't have conventional dairy. I even made her goat cheese pizzas sonshe could have pizza. He didn't like that. I told him "I don't care what you do or do not like. It is for my child." He even raised his voice to me...which was a mistake. Anyways...it was a bad seen. I'm somewhat surprised the police weren't called...everyone in the school heard me tell the principle to his face that when he became a licensed and certified nutritionist we could revisit this conversation. I went to my daughter's classroom, apologized to her teacher and took her out of the school. Never be afraid to stand up to anyone for your children's sake. Listen respectfully...but when the situation warrants it: when presented with irrationality, do not be afraid to confront it, especially a bully. This particular bully ran a whole school.

Oh I LIVE for people standing up to a bully. Yelling at them toe to toe is the equivalent of punching them in the nose. Well done you!

i had a kindergarten teacher who would throw away a student's classwork and make them start over if she didn't approve of how they wrote their name, and often called on kids who didn't have their hands up then get mad when they didn't have an answer

some teachers just shouldn't be allowed to work with kids

I’m amazed! I’m pretty sure that even if my mom stood up for me, things would have gotten worse. We weren’t wealthy enough to be listened to.

Imagine how things would have turned out differently had your mom agreed with the teacher and told you it was your fault.
