Would you inform the school?

And you say the teacher is the only nasty piece of work in this scenario?

right…

Are you going in person to the police OP?

Am thinking there may be a little bit of history with this teacher and op?
The level of vitriol is quite scary!

You sound increasingly deranged about this lady.

If you have concerns about her as a teacher you should have raised them before this.

And then left it there.

Agreed this is a witch hunt.

It looks that way.

Since being asked if she’s the friend, OP has gone very, very quiet. 🤔

Well, well, well...the recent updates show the OP is just out for revenge against someone she doesn't like.

All the "holding teachers to higher standards" rubbish is utter tosh.

So your motive is to get her sacked, that has become very clear.

Have you escalated your concerns to the head, the board of governors, the LA and Ofsted.

If you don't want her teaching your children, then you could always move your child to a different school, or as a minimum ask for your child to be moved out of their class.

The vast majority of children's behaviour is influenced by their parents, with increasing influence from peers as they grow older. A 'shitty teacher' will not cause your child to be a 'shitty person'.
Children who have been raised with good values will recognise poor behaviour a mile off and wont try to emulate it. My oldest has had some brilliant teachers some ok ones and 1 absolutely awful bully. Parents escalated it up through appropriate channels, 2 experienced and trusted TA's were placed in that class to 'support' (monitor), reliable evidenve gathered and she was gone by the end of the year. Teachers are most definitely not untouchable.

OP - are you going to tell the police the truth? Are you going to tell them that YOU and this teacher had an altercation and she spat at you?
Is she “bullying” your child?
I don’t know why you bothered writing this post/thread in the first place as you can’t even be honest about what happened.
What are you hoping for - everyone will say yes report her to the head …
And what then?
Why do you need people egging you on..?
Nobody above the age of 18 and out of school is afraid of teachers ffs. Stop being ridiculous!!
Police I’d believe. Doctors yes they carry clout with Joe Public, teachers….? Unless you are 14 I would find it impossible to think she presents any kind of threat such that you and your gang of witnesses would be “afraid” of her.

I think it’s one of those ‘she’s asking for a friend’ situation.

@Winterstorms2 what work is it that you do? Just wanting to get a picture of this tale as you’re keeping so much from us?

Why is your friend friends with this person if they are so horrible? Why were they arguing? I feel there is a lot more to this tale than you've shared. If there have been bullying issues previously, why haven't they been tackled? Parents are not reticent to complain about teachers from what I've seen. It seems like you've got a bit of a vendetta going on.
If you wade in you may get your own friend in trouble too, as well as the teacher. If she's already gone to the police that should suffice.

If this is the case, why haven't you reported THAT behaviour to the headteacher?

Ye there's absolutely no alternate motive here at all...

Are you the friend? Did the teacher spit in your face? What did you say to her?

shes an awful awful human being

Yet your friend is friends with her?!

I doubt a teacher would lose their job over spitting

If she was charged with assault and received a caution/other consequence, then that would have to be declared to the school and may affect the DBS or conditions of employment.

What has this teacher allegedly done to put multiple parents/children "through hell"? What warrants her being a "truly awful awful human being" as you put it that would warrant a confrontation of said teacher in public that would lead to such an altercation? Safeguarding issue? Abuse? Extreme Bullying?

Ah, so you know her very well personally then? To know what type of person she is.

Sounds like this is absolutely nothing to do with concerns regarding your child and nothing at all to do with this ladies teaching abilities or anything connected to school, as that would addressed in the school and not in a random 'public place'.

So yes I also feel sorry for her, it sounds like there is a group of parents who have focused a bit too much of their (negative) energies on her.

Despite being asked many times you haven't revealed the specific topic of this conversation, which is quite telling in itself. Maybe your friend didn't tell you, or maybe once revealed you feel people would side more with the teacher.

As a governor having seen what some parents put teachers through, I would love to hear her side of the story. There have definitely been times when parents have embarked on what can only be described as a witch hunt against teachers, often as a response to a child doing something they shouldn't have and parents refusing to believe their child is anything but perfect. A couple have had to be banned from the site due to aggressive behaviour.
