Jim,
this is a very difficult subject- and I think most of the responses have affirmed that the school made serious mistakes & that something needs to be done. My advice is to document everything, and take this to the highest level, the sooner the better. You can't watch over him every second of every day, and I am sure he is now on that teachers '$hit list' so I agree that he needs to be schooled elsewhere.
I have a severe calculation disability- I can barely add a column of double digits in my head- which was missed all the way through grade school and finally noticed by a prof when I was in college. I remember once when I was about 13 suffering the humiliation of trying to recite my nine times tables in front of the whole class, and making a complete mess of it, while all the other kids laughed at me, goaded on by the teacher. That really hurt- and your kid may need some help with his incident as well as a change of school. Have you guys talked about it? Does he still seem bothered? Has it happened before?

I hope it all works out for the best-

Paul.

P.S. As soon as your kid is safely enrolled elsewhere, go after that b!tch with everything you have.
