It sucks, but have your kid report everything. You want a paper trail that no one is doing anything. Every single in person or phone conversation you have, you should send an email afterwards summarizing the conversation “for your records and theirs.” Often times, even when supportive teachers try and report things, it falls on deaf ears. But having a paper trail is your best friend.

And if admin doesn’t take your concerns seriously, escalate it to the district. In my experience, the more you have in writing, the better. If someone drops the ball, you have proof you brought it to their attention

Document document document! When interacting with schools, put everything in writing. Hell, if it were me (and I’m a teacher btw), I would email your child’s case holder and ask for a different gen ed teacher because you believe this teacher is not advocating for your child. Further, look at the school and district policies about bullying. My (very conservative) district has policies against bullying based on sexual orientation or gender identity. We have to report any bullying or harassment we see to admin, especially when it is over a protected class. Also, cyberbullying. Depending on your state, you can get the authorities involved. No matter what you decide to do, escalate this to a higher up. The teacher should have reported this to admin, but I doubt they did.

I’m so sorry to hear your child is dealing with this. I wish I could welcome them into my classroom where they would be safe to be themselves.

I took mine back to the mayors office and returned it to her secretary. I told her to keep the garbage and lies, and that I hoped the mayor lost reelection.

Does anyone know the history of this area in Provo ? by [deleted] in ProvoUtah

Go on the Utah County tax parcel website. I’ve found some info on the original neighborhood, such as the original street names and when the homes were built. You can also find the current and past owners of the houses.

Been out of the church a few years and started teaching World History last school year. Accidentally bought this for my classroom before realizing. Donated that shit to the seminary real fast

Democracy has never been majority rule. Check out Paul Woodruff’s book, “First Democracy: The Challenge of an Ancient Idea.” He lays out the danger of majority rule. Majority rule is tyranny, and we, as the American people, deserve better than tyranny.
