Is it the right thing to keep quiet when your child is psychological and emotionally abused by the teacher and principal because you are afraid that no other private school will take your child?
Thank you for your question- although I’m sorry to hear about this situation. No- you certainly can’t stand by and let your child be abused, if this is what is actually occurring. If necessary, you should be prepared to home school the child, rather than allow this to continue. However, there are ways of speaking up with courtesy and respect on behalf of your child which won’t result in him being turned away and not being accepted to another school. If you feel that you are too emotionally involved and not capable of talking to the administration calmly and with respect, you need to find someone who can advocate for your child and yourself with the school administration..
Take care,
