im not sure what to do

Respect yourself enough to stand up for yourself; your feelings, concerns, and opinions and ask for what you want. Also, learn how to say “no” without feeling guilty

If I were in this situation, I would tell this teacher that you talked to your son about the school rules of where he can and cannot cross the street. You can let her know you feel that her yelling at your son was out of concern with him crossing the street at the wrong place, but that it really scared him. You will feel better about talking to this teacher in a calm manner, but you also are letting her know she scared your son by the way she reacted. I hope this helps. Lisa
