I'd ask the teacher to get her side first. She may have said more than what your

4th grader told you.

If you're not satisfied with that conversation talk to the principal I guess?

If it's a 1 time thing I probably wouldn't be too worried about it. If the kid calls her that more and keeps it up I'd be more upset and get involved.

We sent an email to the teacher just to let her know about the situation, I guess we will see what she says.

The teacher may know that the kid has much bigger problems to deal with at home.

Not sure a teacher can protect a kid from never getting called a name at school.

That isn't the point, why is the teacher justifying it?

That's honestly shocking that they are permitting that kind of language

It's probably difficult to manage that on top of everything else

I agree with that but that's no excuse for not dealing with the bad behavior

For sure, if it was my son he'd probably handle it in a physical manner. I told my son (her older brother) to go say
