My Youngest

Is he cute or what? He's a very sweet boy.

Seriously

OK, just when we think things couldn't get any worse for our child they have. We moved to a new school and our oldest is doing great. Our youngest, on the other hand is drowning. He is so far behind he can't keep up with the work in his class. In return the teacher is not willing to help him. She has made it hard for him. I know we were warned about her being a "tough" teacher. This is crazy. On a daily basis she describes a child that we don't have. I just don't get how a teacher can let a child fail with out helping? I mean, who gives her that right to let my child fail? My opinion is that he is struggling and the more she pushes the more he gets withdrawn. We are trying everything to build him up. We spoke with other parents about her and she does this every year. She picks a kid that isn't doing well and she lets them fail. My son went from making A's and B's to D's and F's. We have consequences for when he doesn't bring home his home work. We have been drilling it through his head that he needs to turn in his homework when he enters the classroom. We only want the best for him. He deserves an education just like any other child.
