About two weeks ago my son had an accident in the playground at mid day. At two I got a call on my mobile to say that this incident had happened and they felt that he should go home as he felt a little ill. 10 minutes later I was at the school.The head teacher stated that they had been trying to contact me in a brusque and condescending manner. I challenged this and said that I only recieved a call 10 minutes ago and had had no contact from the school before that. It turned out they had called by husband (in a meeting with mobile off) and then the house. So the head backed down. I believed that we had both said our piece and that the incident was over.
A couple of days ago I saw the head in the playground and greeted her. She blanked me. I called her rather loudly under my voice a cow (I know should have had more maturity) which she heard. A couple of mothers heard this and as I was walking out the school gate I heard the head say to them that she found me difficult to deal with!
I have never had any other incidents with the head or any other teachers in two and a half years of dealing with the school.From speaking to a number of other mothers about her, it seems that this brusque tone is not something new. I felt very embarrased initally , now I feel upset and angry.She seems to have taken the incident personally and I believe that she has behaved in a very unprofessional manner. I also feel disappointed in the head who I had held in high esteem previously. I feel that she needs to learn that this behaviour is unacceptable... what would you do?
