Why do teachers and others think this?

I have gone to the parents nights, and talked to the teacher. I have seen this first hand. When her art was stolen, I confronted him about it and he said the other student had been in his class before and was a trustworthy student. But it turned out that this person wasn't so trustworthy at all. But my daughter was judged right away because of the way she looks. On another occasion, the students were doing another project and she did hers in green and red, he didn't like it so he made her add white to it. Then he physically, himself took beads that didn't even match the project and glued them on himself. I also talked to him about this. Yet the kids who were doing mudane things like stripes and flowers got good grades for their artwork. My daughter was doing splash painting. And its not just her, it is all the kids in her group. I know these things for a fact, I have seen his attitude.

It is not just this teacher either. I have seen it many times, all through her years, through my son, through myself while growing up. Not just teachers either, but other people. My daughter has a friend who gets into more trouble, eventhough not much trouble. She has anger issues. Her grandfather doesn't like my daughter because of her style, yet the grandaughter has the same style. She tells him that my daughter get honor roll, is very supervised etc. But that doesn't change his judgment. My point is, why can't people see a person for who they truly are, not how they dress or the music they listen to?

There is another teacher, who had a student who screwed around and got into trouble. When her sister got into her class, she automatically decided this girl was the same way. This girl is on the honor roll and no trouble. She is friends with my daughter. They were doing a lab together, discussing the assignment, doing the work, and the teacher came up and took their papers from them. Didn't say why or anything. So I told my daughter that she had to ask why, had to confront the teacher on it. I talked to the teacher, she said she felt that the girls weren't doing the assignment correctly. Well, hello!!! Teach them what to do, don't just take the papers away and walk away. These are good kids and good students. What a way to make them into bad kids and students. What a way to give them the idea that they are just garbage anyway.

I would rather my child be an individual and dress they way she likes than follow the crowd and look slutty or look like everyone else. My daughter has character unlike many of the other cardboard cutouts in this world.
