    I'd pull in the principal, as well. That's slander, and that teacher should really be put in her place.

    kinda scary that someone so ignorant is teaching high school! especially a teacher who would choose to give a project about shopping. good luck schooling her!

    make sure you are very calm when you meet with her and try to VERIFY exactly what she had said to your son before you rip into her. I say this because you were not present when she supposedly suggested you were stealing groceries, and the last thing you need is egg on your face if there was any misunderstanding in what was actually said. Anyhow, best of luck with it all, hope you can show her about the smart use of coupons and how if planned properly it can save families money every week.

    You have such an amazing opportunity. if you can show her what is possible in a way that lets her see it, she may include that in her teaching. Imagine the lives that would be touched by what you can teach her.

    I agree with wob and millie
    Have a plan
    Clarify what was said and
    Like you said prove her wrong
    Have your original pricelist and pm list as well as coupons used
    Bring a box of cereal showing the free toy that alone will break the ice as to how to get things free
    May I suggest
    One bread Dempster's or villagio
    One milk (so good has a coupon)
    Meat wub ziploc
    Motts fruitsations -50c
    Price matching fruit/veg
    Etc
    Keep it simple dont go in with 20 inserts many people get their back up when they see multiples
    I see this going very well good luck and keep us posted

    Be careful though.. If you embarass her a lot .

    She will probably remove it on your son later on during the semester. Who knows , give him bad grades etc or initimidate him later on..just because she was put in her place by you.

    Sad , but true ..some teachers are known to bully children , when they get embarassed by their parents .

    The complaint process with the Ontario College of Teachers does mention to talk to the teacher or principal first. http://www.oct.ca/public/~/link.aspx...19FE65266&_z=z

    I don't think OP needs to come in with a pile of proof. Right now, the teacher has allegedly said something against OP in relation to couponing. OP has every right to find out what was said from the source-perhaps ask the principal to be present or someone else during the meeting? I'd suggest that after the meeting, OP in writing, send a letter to the principal and the OCT if the teacher does confirm the comment about couponing being stealing.

    *Going to ask OP to check the Ontario curriculum for the grade level to see what is said about shopping/economics. http://www.edu.gov.on.ca/eng/curricu...ry/grades.html

    That is awful. I really can't wait to hear an update on this.
    Some teachers are very closeminded, and can't admit when they're wrong or when they have been outsmarted.
    You show them!

    I learned a very valuable lesson from one of my son's teachers. We were chatting one day and she commented that she tells parents that "I won't believe everything your child says about you, if you don't believe everything he says about me". Her point was that sometimes the way the story is told is not always exactly the way something happened and it is good to respectfully hear both sides before jumping to conclusions. It isn't saying our kids are lying or being deceitful...rather it is saying that often kids, teenagers and adults hear things in a way that may not have been intended. Why not challenge your child to prove respectfully that he can stretch a dollar in ways she couldn't imagine? Do the project with coupons and without and turn both versions in. They will both learn something and grow in the process. Calling out anyone to prove that you are right and they are wrong usually ends up hurting both parties. Your son could end up with the most amazing project she has ever seen...rather than ending up in a situation where there is a lot of anger and hurt feelings.

    Very well said Dianne, after raising four kids I have learned that going in to a teacher with guns a blazing is never the best way to deal with school conflict. You will get labeled a hot headed crazy and your child will suffer for it. Love the idea of doing the project two ways to prove your point. Actions are stronger than words sometimes. this will be a wonderful lesson for the teacher as well as a bonding experience for you and your son, he sounds like a great kid. good Luck.
