Also, I would be sending an email to the principal because no way would I feel comfortable with a person who lies to a student's parent teaching my child. No.
In preparation for your meeting, write down bullet points of the things you want to address. Take notes during the meeting.
If the secretary doesn't schedule a meeting quickly with the principal, tell her that you would like to follow chain of command but if she can't meet with you soon, you will be forced to go to the superintendent and school board with your complaints.
Because FUCK NO is someone going to make up complete lies about my child. This is bullying and it is disgusting.
OMG she is 5. All 5 year olds make poor choices. This teacher is being a bitch.
Honestly, I would sit down with her and have a conversation- "positive reinforcement is what works for my kid. I want you to try x, y and z and lets see how things go" If she wasn't willing to try that, I'd be pushing for a switch to a different classroom.
my head almost exploded yesterday when she said to me I know you told me she does best with positive reinforcement but her actions need to have repercussions, I don't know how you handle things at home but I can't have that in a classroom with 19 kids
so basically she thinks I let my kids do whatever at home. she clearly likes me about as much as I like her
Tha fuck?? This would have sent me over the edge with a heaping of " I don't know how you handle being a kindergarten teacher when you're obviously so distressed by normal 5 year old behavior" and then a meeting w principal to move kid to another class. F this b.

I forgot schools closed Monday, and I'm out of town Tuesday and Wednesday. I'll email Monday still to set up a meeting still. I feel so sad for my dd, she came in and said why are you home? I said I don't feel very well, she said aw poor mommy, and came over and gave me a hug. Like, seriously, how do you not like her?! </3

Seriously fuck that bitch. Your kid is awesome and amazing and a completely normal 5/6 year old.
So, how did this get spun? The sub told the teacher that K took the candy and L returned it and the teacher spun it into this mess because she doesn't like L? I'm just trying to figure out how she came to this story and why she's acting like your kid is a criminal.
Whatever the case, I hope the principal is helpful and that you see improvements. She sounds awful. I can't imagine how upsetting it would be for that to be your kid's first experience with grade school.
I haven't read all of the responses yet, but just to see if I'm understanding this...you think the teacher is lying to you about DD2's behavior based upon what the sub reported? Is this particular sub in the classroom often on a regular basis?
This one candy incident is ridiculous to get upset over - are there multiple ongoing issues with DD2's behavior?? I think you need to meet with the teacher and principal to go over further concerns/examples her teacher might have regarding her behavior. I also think your DD2 doesn't need therapy/to see a behavioral specialist or anything yet - that's a bit extreme at this point...
