To be annoyed that my DD teacher did this

If she did a 360 turn won’t the teacher end up where she started of? 😂

Is the teacher usually unkind? Could it be there were children around her and she didn’t see all of them?

That's what you set out to do, because there are no other demands on your day 😊

Why did your daughter not get under the umbrella?

I love a teacher complaint thread - still waiting for one about me! This has to be up there as possibly the number one most batshit crazy teacher complaint on mumsnet ever. I wonder if the OP feels silly yet? Oh well, of I go to pointlessly victimise children for the day…

Trying to picture a teacher fitting 30 kids under an umbrella in case a parent complains their child has been left out 😂

This is ridiculous. I doubt your child was singled out, just unfortunately on the edge and as others have said with other children crowding them there are many reasons they turned when they did.

The world is becoming ridiculous. I am sure your child won't melt in the rain.

OP: contact the governors, log it with 101 and report it to the ECHR.

Nasty? Spiteful mind? Bully?

Bit of a reach from (probably accidentally) leaving someone briefly from being protected by an umbrella.

I know several teaching friends - including Heads - who have left the profession as a direct result of parents behaviour and attitude.

Maybe the teacher is Wonder Woman

I think you are massively overthinking this… if you “saw it happen” you were close enough for the teacher to think that you were just about to take her, surely?
This is one of those situations where, if you made an official complaint, the teacher would be incredulous because they didn’t even realise it had happened. As other people have said, unless you’ve got a catalogue of events that ‘proves’ the teacher is systematically unkind to your child, I think you should just forget it.

I once got called out by a child’s grandmother (to senior management) for ‘dragging her across the playground’, when in reality I had hold of her hand and was steering her through the crowds of parents to our class’ meeting point, as we had been delayed ( she forgot her water bottle)! We were rushing… I was absolutely not dragging her! And it made feel awful that someone could even think that! This teacher would feel the same, I’m sure.

I would give the teacher the benefit of the doubt and assume it wasn't deliberate.

It's tough when your kid goes to school and become one of the pack because to us they are special. Some teachers are fantastic and see potential in every child, some pick favourites and some aren't interested in individuals.

But if she did a 360 degree turn she would be back where she started from as she would have moved through a full circle!

Eh? Your second paragraph has lost me, I’m afraid. And I didn’t assume they meant harming the child - you’re the one who brought up ‘beating the child up’.

I think the op is being utterly ridiculous. I was simply pointing out you have absolutely no idea what the pp meant with her comment, as it wasn’t your comment!

Let's hope in the caretaker's shed just organising the tools...

You didn't have a logical one.

She picked on your child, deliberately allowing her to get wet?
Ok, did you report her to the Head Teacher or similar?
Did you challenge her?
Ask her why she did this?
No, you came here to tell us your tale. If you thought your child was being picked on, why not fight to protect her?

Well if she did a 360, she would be in the same place, so your dd would be protected.
Perhaps you meant a 180?

She was gathering children under her brolly. That says she’s a kind person. She didn’t need to do that. It’s not on her job description. A brolly can’t shelter the whole class so yes, you’re over thinking I feel.

@DramaLama0 Feeling sorry for your daughter and yourself after reading about the teacher's spiteful behaviour 💗
I hope your daughter didn't notice what actually happened and that it seems she was picked on by the teacher.
No matter how many people here say that a teacher is not capable of such horrid behaviour - yes they are!

I'm really interested to know how many of the people who have commented here are teachers/work in a school or are related to/are friends with teachers!
It's so very strange that the commenters just can't seem to accept that a teacher could have a nasty, spiteful mind and choose to bully a child or several children.

Anyhow, like I said earlier, I hope your daughter didn't realise how horridly the teacher behaved towards her and that she's not affected by it. Best wishes to you both 💗💗

It's not her job to keep your kid dry get her a coat

And people wander why teachers are leaving the profession in droves...

Gosh, you're really over analysing this non event. Do you suffer from anxiety? Is everything okay in your life?

I don’t think I had a ‘ludicrous’ interpretation of: ‘Their child pays the price’.

Sounds like you may be thinking the worst of the teacher’s intentions. They were probably distracted by the stress of a busy day settling kids back in school and all the work they had to do after school. So perhaps distracted.

People go into teaching because they love working with kids. It’s very unlikely the teacher excluded your DD on purpose. Even if a kid is a complete PITA, it’s highly unlikely they’d do that vindictively to a 5 year old.

I assume you were there and saw this, so your DD was about to be collected by her mum. If so, kids can cope with a few minutes of heavy rain, especially if they have a warm coat and hood. Perhaps the teacher was trying to cover kids who usually have to wait longer to be collected.

However, if there have been other incidents with this teacher, or your DD doesn’t seem happy with them, suggest having a chat with them.

And yet you do and went for the most ludicrous option!

I do as I work in a school and see the impact on children when they have parents like this. Being the only kid who doesn't have someone to watch their nativity has a big impact. Knowing their parents can't come to the school fair etc impacts on the child.

BUt you clearly thought they would harm the child in some way which again is not a common thing in schools but sanctions on parents and this impacting on children is a common thing.

You have no idea what was meant.

And I didn’t think teachers would physically hurt the child btw.
