Teacher problem

[Lifeismorethanamerrygoround]

This is not about her ability to teach. Or anything related. She does not teach my dd.
However, I have noticed she looks me up and down and rolls her eyes at me. I walk past her as I leave the playground after collecting my dd, it's unavoidable. I try not to look at her but she is always in my view as I head towards the gate. She sees me, looks at me, rolls her eyes at me and carries on staring. I get this from other people sometimes, and I don't care to know the reason why. But is this unprofessional behaviour from her? If not, then fine, but if it is, what can I do about it?

What have MH issues got to do with anything? Is there a drip feed coming. It’s not idiotic to consider your own behaviour and attitude when multiple people respond to you in an unwanted and unusual way. It’s called being self aware. Has nothing to do with MH issues or being an idiot!

Op being so goofy Wolfie. Feeling bored this evening are we?

That should be goady

The deleted post was actually the one that referenced MH problems. NOT me. But bet you knew that. Nope. Don't do drip feeds. Sorry to disappoint

And I'm not responding anymore to you Wolf. Just so you know

Are you allowed in the playground or are you supposed to drop off only?

Why is she by the gate? Is she waiting to lock it and you're the last one out?

Yes to try smiling and saying good morning

Her class stands there and she waits for their parents to collect. I'm never the last one to leave, usually have to rush off to pick up my other dc at other schools

In a busy school playground full of children and parents a teacher singles you out to roll her eyes at you? It could be at anything or anyone.. why are you staring so intently at her you see the eye roll.

This is a very strange thread

Post deleted. So how would I know that?
Seriously people don’t generally walk around rolling their eyes at random folks. If more than one person keeps doing it to you it would be worth trying to think why.
Not goady. Sometimes goofy though.

I'm not staring. I noticed the first time and now I just have a habit of looking at her to see if she still does it. I can tell when someone looks straight at me, can't you?

I’d definitely do the smiling thing.
It works for whatever issue or none she has
-is she is judging you for some spurious reason then it shamed her into being nicer
-if she is not directing it at you or is otherwise unintentional then it makes her notice you and smile back

• if she still does it and glares despite your repeated smiles then you can feel certain she is being a dick and it’s nothing to do with you.

I wouldn’t complain though. There isn’t really anything the headteacher can do about someone looking at you in a certain way - you may know she is but it’s hard to prove and is too subjective.

Can't believe my post was deleted? For what? I wasn't offensive or rude. I made a sensible suggestion.

People don't go around rolling their eyes at strangers. If this keeps happening to you then either

1. You are imagining it
2. There is something pretty major about your demeanour or appearance to attract it.

That is very strange. Like PPs have said I would just give her a smile and see what happens. Hopefully she will smile back! She might not realise she is looking at you funny.

I don’t suppose you’ve ever made a complaint about one of the other teachers (or something else) that makes her think you’re one of those parents? (Grasping straws, I know)

Maybe she is "rolling her eyes" because a parent keeps staring at her?

definitely smile at her in a friendly way.
That is the only way to break what has become a slightly incomfortable impasse.

Or walk close enough to say - afternoon Mrs S and smile as you walk past.
