I like Binx too!

So I've decided to ask for a different teacher for ds. The more I discuss this situation with people the more I realize that, while ds can be a huge PITA for any teacher to deal with, this teacher has crossed several boundaries with both ds and I. He already has boundary issues, and a teacher who also has boundary issues is not going to be good for him. There is a 4th grade teacher that ds already has a good relationship with, so I'm going to ask for her. I need to be able to present a united front with whomever the teacher is and I can't do that with this one. She is just too out of line too often, and I wouldn't pretend that something is acceptable when it isn't, even if ds couldn't read me like a book anyway. So...any tips on how to broach this subject diplomatically? I'm not trying to start .... with this teacher, I just don't want her anywhere near my child, and I don't know quite how to tactfully put that. (Tact being the art of telling someone to go to hell in such a way that they anticipate the trip.)

I'd say keep it about your son. No need to say anything to her other than "I think this is best for my child." If she asks why, just repeat it. That's the bottom line and that's all she needs to know. You know him best...if you think it's best for him to have another teacher...well...it IS best, end of story. (((TheDaisy)))
