If there truly is a problem you can change classes and teachers (again, at least in LA Unified). You have to be polite yet adament. And you have to learn the system and use it to your advantage.

He said he pickes his kids teachers before the school year starts. In my district its against the rules.
When I was having problems with my sons teacher this past year, I took it to a MINI forum where I knew there were about 6 school teachers in Florida on there.
What I gained from my interaction with them was that the teachers know which kids parents are on the PTA and active in the school and they get better treatment and the teacher walks on egg shells with them knowing the power of the PTA and its ability to make their life miserable.
Todd, I am not rude to my sons teachers and I am not putting them down now. They are doing their job, as instructed, the the administration. I have always took up for teachers, even the mean ones, telling my son to keep his head down and get through his 45 minutes with them and he will be fine. Just do the work.
But now that I have pulled my kid out of there and I am seeing how much better he is doing I cannot help but wonder WTF was going on in there and why an adult feels the need to beat down a little kid?
Not all teachers are bad but you know how the saying goes....
