How do you know this, were you there!

Taking a child out of class for a word is very common practise. It has nothing to do with intimidation. It's to find out what happened without 20+ other ears listening and jibing in! I think actually you are now overreacting.

I agree. Would you prefer she had told your son off in front of everyone else?

If this was my child Id be cross with them if they had been shouting around in a corridor and not behaving themselves.

What do you mean invading his personal space??

How can you say it is lack of professionalism? Did an adult witness this? Or are you going on your son's reactions to what happened? Yes, I can understand that he says that she frightened him - but what had he done to warrant such a telling off? You haven't heard the full story.

Obviously whatever he did (or the other boys say he did) was serious enough to warrant the teacher getting him out of his class to be given a serious telling-off.

Please get the whole story before accusing the teacher of lack of professionalism - and as for invading a child's personal space - what's that all about??

Its her lack of professionalism that gets me the most, ok kids need to follow rules but really shouting in the corridor, she actually got him out of class to speak to him because they had just got in from playtime. Total overreaction, invading a childs personal space is downright intimidating

I think it's you who is totally overreacting.
Calm down & get both sides of the story.

Sneezyboots I expect an apology, teachers shouldnt take one childs version over another if they werent there. The only difference is these boys were in her class

Why are you going to speak to the deputy head rather than the teacher who was directly involved?

you expect an apology from the teacher before you've even heard what they said, and what the circumstances were?

OK same scene in your office boss comes up to you gets right up close in your face and starts shouting would you like it. I dont even do that to my own children. Yes im probably overreacting but I have every right hes my son. In the morning Ill have calmed down and will mention it to the the teacher. Thanks I was on a rant.

The Head Teacher in my junior school was a nut.

He once yelled at me for about three minutes because I had been rude and barged into him. I was leaving a classroom and he walked into me because he was concentrating on whatever he was reading and not where he was going but obviously who was going to believe a child over the Head Teacher?

That same Head Teacher physically assaulted me once too. In retrospect I should have told my parents.

I had another teacher who gave me some grief for asking him where he would like me to put the chair that he had asked me to pick up. Clearly, I was supposed to stand there all day holding a chair...

In your case, I'd ask the teacher for her version of events. Some teachers really do act in an unprofessional manner but that isn't to say that there can't possibly be a reason for the way in which she chose to act.

Just thought Id say I completely believe him, he normally owns up when hes in the wrong but he completely denies it happened

Seems that it's caused you more of a problem than your son and by your actions you will make the situation worse for your son - probably no point in telling you that though as, by the sounds of it, you seem bent on causing a problem.

He's a child and won't progress in life if he can't take getting a bit of a telling off without his Mummy butting in!
