You just never know

I have never heard of a teacher bullying but I have seen teachers be harder on some students more than others, which is crazy too

Some teachers are really mean, and one of my kid has experienced the same situation of not being allowed to go to the restroom, and eventually had a wetting accident. We spoke to the Principal, and this never happened again!

I had an issue with my 4th and 5th grade teacher (same teacher) and she was just awful, but I'll spare you the details. She was just a cow that made life hell for me. My parents kept going to the school board and they were always dismissed. My sister's principal even tried to go beyond HIPAA laws when she was going through personal issues. If I ever have kids, I wanna look into homeschooling because I don't want my kid to go through that.

There have been so many stories of teachers bullying/abusing kids on the news lately.  Our news showed a teacher hitting a 5 year old child in the face with a shoe yesterday.  Child abuse/bullying/neglect gets my blood boiling quicker than anything!

Just thinking about it gets my blood boiling.  There is NO excuse for this.

I am with you 100%. I am horrified at what I've seen on tv just lately with teachers harassing a child in a wheelchair, a teacher pinning a kindergartener up against the wall and intimidating him for going to the bathroom. I am a patient, well mannered and civil individual but even I would struggle to keep my calm if this was going on at my kids schools - even if it was not my child. I can tell you for sure that some of these teachers (and even principals) are in the wrong job. Kids are kids but when the teachers start acting like children, they should lose their jobs permanently. There are plenty of unemployed out there that would dearly love a teaching job if given the chance.
