Can a 16-year old girl file a restraining order against her teacher?
a restraining order??? That is what you get when you have some creepy person calling you up saying they want to murder you, chop you up into bits and send the parts to your parents everyday (that's why a friend of mine had to get one). Because you have a piss poor teacher they would just laugh. Also- FYI not hard to figure out you are the 16 year old. Try talking to your teacher. Show him your notes, explain your study habits and see if he can offer suggestions on how you can do better. Find out exactly what he wants you to do on assignments and tests. Ultimately You are going to have to deal. In my college class I have a professor who is a crass as can be- he tried to convince us he brought a sample of his semen to class... His lectures are disjointed and don't make much sense. His tests are crazy hard for an introductory non-major class. It sucks I have a 78 in his class currently and have only one test left to bring my grade up to a B. I stress about my grades because I need to go to Grad school to get the degree I need to practice psychology. Grades are not everything to colleges. You don't need a 4.0 to go to a "good" school.
How to get a BAD Third grade teacher Fired?
Wow! What a horrible situation for you and your little daughter to be in, however she's going to learn a very good lesson on standing up for yourself and having someone stand up for you. You can do one of two things. First, the princepal cannot stop you from changing schools. If the other school accepts your daughter (this process takes a week or so), you want to speak directly with the principal, you can transfer her. If you don't want to do this your other option is; first, document all dates meetings, outcome of meetings, instances of harassment, ect. Include direct quotes from your daughter, teacher, and principal. Address the school board of the situation and bring copies of documentation and be prepared to present it and have specific goals in mind of what you want to happen (e.g. formal apology from princepal and teacher to you and your daughter and transfer your daughter to another class, ect.). Once the board sees the documentation it will raise a red flag, meaning your next step is getting a lawyer. If this doesn't work that's exactly what you're next step will be. Contact your family attorney and if necessary the police (depending on how bad the harassment is don't hesitate to do this and/or file a restraining order) and have them write a formal letter to the school board/district through certified mail ccing the teacher and school board. Make sure it's on the law offices' letterhead. Usually once this is done the school is willing to do anything you want so you don't sue. Follow the legal advice of an attorney and shop around a little to get a second opinion and prices of attorney ahead of meetings. Don't spend more than $200 looking for an attorney and if you're organized enough and depending on the situation you may find one that will work pro-bono (free). I was in a similar situation when I was little, I was in dyalisis in 2nd grade and my teacher told the class if anyone played with me they would die, she thought it was a funny joke since I had an IV in my hand. An obvious lawsuit waiting to happen. Good luck and you and your family are in my prayers.
Can A Teacher Get Fired For Threatening To Hit A Student?
Okay So On Thursday An Accident happened with my friends that she pushed a guy, and that guy accidentley stepped on a passing teachers shoe, she then got a water bottle or something like that and said " You better leave because I am SO ready to hit you, you idiot" They guy then reported her and they called up witnesses ( this means it's serious) She hasn't been at school since Friday and it is now Monday. There is a rumor around that she is getting fired, but is it even possible for a teacher to get fired for saying she was going to hit a kid?? I want to know for SURE.
As a teacher, have you punished a student before by beating him/her?
Hussein, I don’t know where you live, but I know that in some parts of the world, hitting students is permitted by the school, and parents put up with this because all the schools are like this.In Western cultures, this doesn’t happen. Hitting a student would be considered an assault and is against the law. The teacher would be arrested and charged with a criminal act of violence.
What can a teacher do if a student hits them?
What can a teacher do? A little as possible, physically anyway. A teacher still has to de-escalate the situation, to keep the student from hurting themselves or others, but also to prevent injury to oneself. In 30 years, I have had a few situations where I intervened into situations that had already started in which case fists were flying, hair and fingers entangled, biting threatened, etc. In each case I was able to physical separate and safely restrain the students, the most effective of which was pinning them against the wall. With the popularity of cell phone video and security cameras, in each case my actions were deemed appropriate force and restraint.If confronted directly and threatened by a physically intimidating student or parent, walk away and find assistance. Don’t stand up to them, even if you think you can take them. Your ego will rebound, your career won’t.Hitting back may seem justified, but it opens up the teacher and school district to bigger problems. The student who hits a teacher falls under different laws protecting school personnel, however the teacher hitting back, even when most feel it to be justified, often nullifies those law’s applicability and causes the teacher to be eligible for assault charges.The best one I saw was an administrator who dove on top of a student who was down and being kicked by two others. The administrator protected the downed student, taking several kicks himself, but not doing anything in response. The two kicking students had the right to remain silent and the administrator earned a commendation from the school board.
Can teachers get fired for attempting suicide?
I'm writing a story that deals with this issue, and I'm looking for cases and solid, legal facts to back up my research. So far all I've found is this one case a few years back: http://www.sptimes.com/2006/09/10/Pasco/Teacher_s_suicide_att.shtml
Is it wrong to fire a teacher for slapping a student that insulted them?
Corporal punishment, using physical means to discipline students, is still legal in nineteen states, mostly in southern and western states. Corporal punishment usually includes spanking, paddling, or hitting with a strap under controlled conditions. I doubt very much whether a spontaneous slap of a child would be condoned in many places, and might even be cause for the teacher’s being suspended or even fired, especially if it were that person’s common way of dealing with students. Corporal punishment is not condoned anywhere in Europe, nor in most other places in the world. It has become the practice in most places to seek to control behavior through counseling, setting examples, and using other forms of punishment. There seems to be no research support for “spare the rod and spoil the child.”Whether a spontaneous, single occurrence of a teacher’s slapping a mouthy kid would be cause for firing might be up in the air. It’s worth remembering that, despite lots of training, teachers have tempers, too. One example of a teacher’s losing his or her cool and responding with a slap would certainly lead to extensive administrative counseling and perhaps a suspension. Any indication that it had become a standard practice would be cause for firing.It’s worth remembering that in many places there are severe restraints upon parents who employ corporal punishment, too.
