How can I protect my son from unfairness by his 3rd grade teacher? 1 Answers as of February 08, 2012

My son's problems start from the first days of September. His teacher has a punishment system - the idea is each kid has 5 "dollars" on his account and for every fault they can lose a dollar and if they'll not have at least 1 dollar on the Friday, they have to go to the sad room during recess. So starting from September till today 2/1/2012 my son hasn’t been in the sad room only 4 times. The teacher also has a so called “dollar book” where they write down the fault for what they lose a dollar. Here are some of records from the “dollar book” : “I lost a dollar, because I dropped a paper when I took my book “, “I lost a dollar because I gave my paperwork to teacher instead of putting in the tray” “I lost all my dollars because I didn’t capitalize a geographical name.” I asked for meeting with the principal and teacher and all these questions were discussed. But after that, the situation became even worse. Now this lady starts sending my son to the principal office (2-3 times every day) for things like: "During Soccer I accidently hit someone by ball",” During game I said someone that he'll fail,” etc. It looks like this lady in personal war with my 8 years old kid. How can I protect my son from this kind of unfairness?
