But when we as parents step in and step up, and provide them with the needed training, funding and ideas to help our children succeed, and to help THEM succeed, and they fail to rise to the occasion...well yep, they SHOULD be fired, because they are not doing their job. That part is simple. I have been through a similar headache with my child's education. Many hugs!

Was the teacher at least reprimanded, or instructed in the error of her thinking -- not just by you, but by the "exec"? Do you think she can change her outlook? I'm so sorry this is happening to your son. It cheats his fellow students, too, as you pointed out, by denying them knowledge of him. That’s terrible.

I don't know what you can do about it. Your child obviously has an imagination, dedication and willingness to learn so he will recover from his bad teacher experience.

There is a teacher who should NOT be in employment. Words fail me.
