Update..
By Heather

This whole thing bothered me for a couple of days. I talked to my principal, didn't mention that it was her, and I explained to her what had happened. She did agree that the teacher was totally wrong. She asked me to give
her a the name, so I did, saw them talking in her office this morning. She didn't look happy. Also, the kid that she called stupid, told his parents and they called the school.
This teacher has been teaching for almost 20 years. I think that she is burned out, and stressed, so she is taking it out on the kids.
I has never really confronted another teacher before, and I honestly

have to say that it felt great to stand up for a kid. Yea, this group of kids aren't the best as far as acedemics, nor are they well behaved, but no matter what they are, they are still children, and they don't deserve to be called insulting or degrading names. Some of us may not know it, but what we say to these kids, really does stay with them forever!
