Sounds like you are really enjoying school!
That's great!

I'd be writing a letter to the school board superintendent. I would also be having a conference with that teacher and the principle about the yelling and tattling. That is not appropriate in any way.
Don't worry about being the hated parent. Become an effective child advocate and they will have to respect that.
Or they are in the wrong freaking business.
Good luck. Knock Em dead.
Is this kindergarten? Very similar to the issues we had with the Boy's kindergarten teacher--she seemed to be a nice person, but man, she was just too high strung to deal with kindergarten boys on an aggressive 1/2 day schedule. I think you totally need to bring it up with her, and if she doesn't respond, with the principal or the school counselor or the grade-level head, if they have one. We were lucky that the 1st grade teacher redeemed school for us, but I was worried there by the end of kindergarten...
Good luck, sweetie!
I just started working as a substitute librarian/aide/secretary and found a lot of tattling also. I told the children not to worry about anyone but themselves. The yelling should really stop. I would definately report it because (at least in our district) the more it is reported the sooner something can be done. File an official greivance.
As far as being the bad parent, you're not bad, you are just a parent who is there and sees what happens. I bet there are other parents who can't be there that would be greatful to hear what's going on, and to know someone is looking out for their child.
We all trust that teachers will treat our children with love and respect, but it just doesn't always work that way.
I salute you and J's mom!
