Who is in the wrong?

[frozenicicles]

Teacher A has been looking for a set of books all term and had asked everyone if they had them. No one had.

Teacher B is furious because Teacher A got them from her cupboard after she had left for the evening.

A doesn't think she's done anything wrong and B is fuming.

Disciplinary on what grounds?

Yes, they're a set of geography textbooks. It's strange because no one thinks B was using them, and if she 'didn't know' they were there, she can't really be so pissed off.

Disciplinary! I’d like to see how far that would get! 😂

The whole saga is so ridiculous a disciplinary would fit in well!

To be honest I'd be a bit miffed if someone had been searching around my classroom but that's mostly because I used to buy a lot of my own resources that would 'walk away of their own accord' 🤨

I would also have known if there was a whole set of text books in my room.

Unless teacher A has searched multiple classrooms, I suspect another teacher or more likely a TA has told her on the QT that the books were in teacher Bs room. Which means it wasn't 'searched' just the books retrieved.

Eitherway teacher B has no business being furious.

Do you really think that's grounds for disciplinary action?

So do I.
And a bit of a weirdo for pretending they didn't have them.

B lied first.

If B didn't have them A can't have taken them.
