Q:
Does anyone have advice about what to do under these circumstances?
My child was accepted in art school on the basis of talent excluding academics. Since my child's acceptance they have grown as an artist but the teacher bullies them every day. The teacher says things to my child: "You will never amount to anything. Your father's job sucks (father has a respectable job). You could never be a representative of this school. You will never amount to anything in that school. You are too fat." The teacher compares my child to other artists and belittles my child because my child does not get a 4.0 grade point average. Then he expects my child to do well. When spoken to this teacher regarding this the teacher belittles my child again making even more negative remarks such as stating that even if my child won an award or was accepted into any classes outside of the school it was only because they wanted the money. We feel that we can't pull the child from the school because it would jeopardize his future. The support surrounding this teacher far outweighs the support of my child. My child is suffering at the hand of this teacher and we are lost as to what we can do short of pulling the child which would really be detrimental to the child's future.
