What do you do if your child has a creepy teacher?

My story: My children moved from one school to another because we wanted them to have uniforms. I know it's old fashioned, but I just don't like the way kids are judged on what they wear. My kids used to freak out for hours over what they should wear, and anyone with a tween knows how often they can be late just trying to choose an outfit in the morning.In the old school, my daughter had a teacher who was a little weird. He had one "special student" whose seat was up against his desk, and she was always in the classroom when everyone else had gone home. I figured okay it's me, I'm paranoid, and just let the situation be. My daughter assured me that he wasn't actually a creeper, the girl just wanted to sit there. So I think she has a pretty good gauge on things overall.At the new school I didn't meet the principal until the teachers went on strike and he gave a presentation in place of parent teacher day. He seemed oddly "handsy" with the children. Three times during his presentation he picked up people's children and sat them on his lap or talked about them negatively like "These guys might not talk to you about what goes on in school, but they ALWAYS come to me" and then he goes, "Maybe it's because I lure them into my office with candy"At first we laughed it off. Like wow this guy seems creepy, but he's a school principal. No way he's actually creepy, right?Then last week the school was selling cookies. My tween came home looking seriously freaked out. She told me that she wants to change schools when they get back from the holidays.Apparently she went to the office to buy a cookie and nobody was there but the principal. He said he could "take care of the cookie" for her and sold it to her himself, but when she tried to pay he wouldn't take her money. She said he kept getting way too close and it made her feel uncomfortable.I don't know what to do because the kids just changed schools at the beginning of the year. Sending them back to their old school could cause problems for us and gaps in education can be a red flag for social services (my dad is a social worker and he advised against it, its sort of like running when you see a police officer).At the same time, This is her principal and there's no going to the principal about it. She has a cell phone but my younger children don't.So I guess I'm wondering if anyone else has had an experience with a creepy teacher where you couldn't prove anything, definitely not enough for a complaint, but still? via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/2hmhXuf
