To be annoyed that my DD teacher did this

Waiting to be dismissed at end of the day and it was raining heavy. Teacher had a very large umbrella. A few children were there including my DD. DD and some others moved and starting moving towards the umbrella to go under and all of a sudden teacher saw and did a turn so that the other children were under it but not my DD. It didn't matter too much as she was going to be dismissed soon anyway but not until she had seen me. I felt sad that she was the only one not under it and the teacher seemed to move with purpose so she couldn't be under it, but the other children left to be dismissed were?

Unless there is a back story you are sooo overthinking this. A teacher is just really busy at the end of the day. End of. Relax

That's so kind of the teacher to go to the trouble of bringing out an umbrella to try keep some of them dry. You're overthinking it.

Your problem suits your user name!

Do you really think teacher actually saw your DD and thought "Ewww Mini Drama Lama is getting too close, she's a pain in the arse. I'll switch hands / do a 360 so she gets wet and let these other children stay dry"

Or do you think her thought process was more

"Fuck me it's pissing down out here and freezing! Where are the parents for these children so I can go in and have a coffee and get dry. I guess at least some of the can fit under here that's a bonus but they're all getting a bit close."

Wow. Maybe try and unclench?

Lucyccfc68 · 06/01/2025 22:14

Sorry but I think you are over-thinking it. A teacher, at the end of a busy day, after dealing with 30 children, probably just wasn’t thinking about where her umbrella was and who it was covering.

Has the teacher been unpleasant to your daughter at other times?

Yes warm coat and hood but so did the other Dc and there wasn't many of them left, enough room to all fit under the large umbrella but teacher moved so it was covering the others but not my DD

Doesn't your daughter have a waterproof coat with a hood?

DaisyChain505 · 06/01/2025 22:04

You’re probably over thinking it. She could have heard her name being called so turned round quickly etc.

Katy232425 · 06/01/2025 22:02

You are massively overthinking. Maybe she misstepped, moved closer to hear a child who was speaking to her, thought she heard someone calling her, just simply didn’t see your daughter or was distracted by trying to keep eyes on children and look out for parents etc etc. Maybe none of them were meant to be under it and she just couldn’t avoid all of them. Or there was no space. Or she felt crowded. Presumably your daughter was wearing a coat?!

Unless you’re going to drip feed that this is part of a long pattern of deliberate unkindness to your daughter I think you need to put it out of your mind as an absolutely trivial non issue.

I am sure it was not personal. Maybe she thought there were too many kids and she turned to avoid more joking. If there was a large group then they might physically be too close. Think to yourself is it likely that the teacher decided to spiteful ensure your child was not dry! Unlikely.

She did a 360 to avoid my DD going under it.
