What to Do About a Teacher with Unprofessional Behavior? What to Tell My Child?

Suzala, can you start a new thread for this one?

My child came home from school today upset because upon dissatisfaction with another child's math work, the teacher ripped the page out of the kid's notebook, crumbled it up, threw it in the trash and made him do it over. I knew I was only hearing one side of it so I asked a bunch of questions to get the full story which confirmed for me that this teacher really did this as was reported to me, not inconsistently with her other disciplinary practices but I digress. I told my daughter that unless it directly involves her, there really isn't anything I can do about it but she did right telling me that this frightened her. Can I get some parenting advice on this one? Did I tell her the right thing? These are eight year olds we are talking about. I don't know the other child's track record. I wasn't there. It just disturbs me that my own child, who's usually so easy going, would have gotten so upset over this.

I really don't know what to make of this one. All feeback is welcome.
