Parent Accused Me of Discrimination

All I did was discipline her kid... I sent an email about her son's behavior before leaving work. I come back in the morning with the most ridiculous email sent to me.

Apparently, I am paid to educate, not yell or stress out her son, or discriminate against him. All things I have apparently been doing. Apparently, he is stressed about my class and that is my fault, somehow.

Somehow, she is convinced that I only discipline him and that I have a personal beef with him. I guess the multiple detentions, being kicked out of class, and other consequences other students got did not happen, not to mention the recent detention where 2 other students had to come as well.

By the way, this student is easily one of my worst this year. He is constantly distracting everyone, argues with me, and acts like a 5 year old when he doesn’t get this way. His other teachers have talked to the mom, who throws a tantrum and insults the teachers when they tell her about her son’s behavior.

Thank god my principal was on my side. She laughed at how ridiculous the claims against me were.

It’s my fault, really. I should know better than to discipline a student not acting right. Shame on me.
