Hi BlueInanna, Just a few quick comments since I had my own classroom for more than a decade: the sexual harassment thing is wild...! bummer for you and your son to go through all of that. seems like the term "sexual harassment" got slung around at something that only had one tiny resemblance to SH, but no intent or malice. I would strongly caution you about using the term bullying to describe what happened with the teacher. That term is used very loosely now, too. The teacher, IMO, did not engage in the most professional behavior, but it was also not off-the-charts unacceptable or bullying. It is something that could possibly be presented directly to her. This is all hear/say after all, right? I would just confirm and give her a chance to describe her view of the events. The most important thing is to have your son in a class where he feels safe, happy, and eager to learn. I would try and find a path that could help direct you to that end. Please disregard opinion as necessary : ) best wishes.
