Children tell you the darnedest things about their teachers, so we had taken most of what Michael said with a spoon-full of sugar and were convinced it was childhood angst and not a problem at school.

His math teacher-I will call her Mrs. E-had been tormenting my son, not just name calling, but standing him up in front of the class and it had gotten so extreme that kids that didn’t like Michael had begun reporting what Mrs. E. was doing to the band teacher. In horror, I learned that she would stand him up before the class, point her finger at him and say, “If you want to know what a stupid student looks like, look at Michael.” She would refer to him as a dumba**, a moron, and so forth, and the kids were becoming frightened for Michael; fearing what might happen to him.
