So my son age 12 had a supply teacher today for one of his classes. Ds went to the loo and when he got back noticed his rucksack was open and someone had nicked his water bottle.

Realising it was his mate on the row behind, he was trying to get it back, supply teacher noticed him talking and was warned if he saw ds talking again he would get a detention

End of class ds approached teacher and asked if he had a detention (he's very worried about this as not had one yet) - teacher waved his hand and muttered "just fuck off "

What do I do if anything? Maybe his patience was tested but seems very bizarre.

He got away without his detention. If I was your son I’d be high fiving the teacher!

I once swore on front of a class.

Didn't mean to but sometimes it happens.

I called my cat a fucking bastard.
Fortunately it was year 11 and they said don't worry miss we won't report you.

(I'd been late for school that day and therefore their lesson because my cat had vommed all over the kitchen floor).

Your DS has got away with it. Supply teacher couldn't be arsed to put it in the system,

Talking about cats, during lockdown I was teaching an online lesson, my cat came onto screen and randomly bit me and I swore, ouch fucking cat, years 11’s were in hysterics!

He's human. We all have moments and if he is a good teacher tbh I'd let this slide. My old teacher used to throw haggy sacks at us if we were dicks but he was brilliant and we loved him 😂. Pre ofsted days of course..,!

Scarletttulips · 16/05/2024 19:06

Is this all you have to think about?

Maybe your son was messing about in class, maybe the teach had had enough and won’t be back any way. Says more about your sons class than the teacher.

Lol I’m a teacher, yep very unprofessional but also secretly hilarious , if only I could say what’s on my mind haha! Sorry had to giggle!

Very unprofessional. He could be a brilliant teacher though, the unprofessional ones sometimes are.

What an odd post.

AllAtSeaAgain · 16/05/2024 19:03

Doesn't sound likely to be honest. He'd be risking his job over a complete non event. It isn't as though it slipped out in anger.

Bizarre is the word for it.

Id take that as a win OP if he didn't get detention. Yes, it's probably unprofessional (definitely is) but I couldn't get riled up about it.

Yes! If I got that instead of a detention I would have been delighted!

Highly unlikely. Sounds like your ds is either mistaken or lying.

You're joking, right 🤣

HauntedPencil · 16/05/2024 19:01

I couldn't get worked up by this. I'd half think that my kid might have misheard but dealing with yr7all day would drive me to swear.

Bumblebee907 · 16/05/2024 18:59

Love this 😂

CountingCrones · 16/05/2024 18:56

Bless the cover teacher, god knows we've all thought it!

LadyGaGasPokerFace · 16/05/2024 18:56

Yes, he sounds great 😁 I wish I could tell my teens to fuck off 😂 parent of the year here 🙋🏼‍♀️

Aquamarine1029 · 16/05/2024 18:55

Why would you do anything? 🥴

Smartiepants79 · 16/05/2024 18:54

It’s unprofessional but I wouldn’t make anything of it I don’t think.
30 unknown year 7s mucking about. I’d want them to fuck off the end of the lessons too!
They shouldn’t have said it obviously but I think I’d let it slide unless it was part of a bigger more concerning picture.

Lipolio · 16/05/2024 18:54

I wouldn't let it slid.

Sunshinedaytoday · 16/05/2024 18:53

I have taught for a long time
I have taught some horrendous classes
I've never sworn at a child. I've thought about it , a lot!
I wouldn't be impressed.

berksandbeyond · 16/05/2024 18:51

I couldn’t get worked up about this as a one off tbh

GeneralMusings · 16/05/2024 18:51

He sounds great 😁.

Therageisreal · 16/05/2024 18:50

Very unlikely it was a supply teacher. Mostly likely it was a supply cover supervisor.

twistyizzy · 16/05/2024 18:50

Have you ever taught Yr 7 as a supply? I can well imagine that's what they were thinking although maybe not professional to say it out loud

XiCi · 16/05/2024 18:48

Get used to it. I couldn't even begin to tell you the stories my dd has told me about supply teachers.
