    That souds so horrid I would claim it was unrealistic if this was the first time I heard of a teacher behaving unfairly.

        This is correct. This person was not a teacher and makes everything worse for all of us who actually want to encourage and educate young people. I rarely feel anger, but this kind of thing absolutely enrages me. Why would you do this to a child??

          As a dad I am feeling anger towards the dad as well, though. If you don’t believe your child (happens) and be proven wrong you have to at least try to make things right. I would definitely be at school the next day and have a chat with the teacher. Which very likely would lead to nothing but give me a cause to go to the administration the very next day and unleash hell there.

            Don’t be too mad at dad: it is definitely a teachable moment to show a kid that even if you try your best, sometimes people are jerks and you don’t get the outcome you wanted. Showing a child how to deal with that with grace but firmness would be excellent. Unfortunately, I expect that this was an older teacher and admin is afraid of her. You might not get anywhere with unleashing hell, though I will now choose to believe that that’s exactly what dad did and the horrible person got fired. There will be justice in my imagination!
