being annoyed with Dd2's teacher for not sorting this out ??

180 replies

Dd2's class did an assembly this morning about feeling funnily enough.

Dd2 was one of 12 picked to do a dance for the feeling scared bit.

So they all stand there dancing away and then it gets to the part of the song where they pair up and dance and there is no partner for dd. All the pairs carry on dancing away and poor Dd is stood there not knowing where to put herself and eventually the teacher indicated to her to just dance on her own, and bless her she did but she looked so upset and uncomfortable.

Surely the bloody teacher must have realised that someone was away and so there were now only 11 not 12 dancers.

I know I am probably over reacting but I felt so sorry for DD and angry with her bloody unorganised teacher.

Oh and it was a another girl in their class that taught them all the dance, and she was there, why the hell couldn't she have paired up with dd.

Oh yeah, the kids have been in bed since 8, I just don't sleep well once I go to bed.

I think, Hunker has far more patience than i do today.

Listen to her. She speaks total sense.

Switch your pc off and go to bed.

SherlockLGJ · 23/02/2007 22:59

Ok everyone, move along nothing to see. Time for bed everyone.

Can you not find it either then ? The bit where I insulted you ? No didn't think so.

Go to bed Nutty.

hunkerdave · 23/02/2007 23:11

I think ADs might help you get to sleep better, stabilise your mood and help you cope a bit better.

If you give them a go and in three months they've not worked, you've lost nothing - give them a go, sweetheart. You've a lot on your plate atm.

I'm not a pill-pusher, but I do think they have a place.

'What are you doing here, HD. This thread isn't about sex.'

Well, tbh.....just give it a bit of time. If fully loaded wildlife gets a mention, then fanjos and blowing jobs can't be far behind.

Nutty. I understand your ire, but be prepared to be disagreed with, even over something as precious as your loved dd's sense of embarassment.

vvv I am baffled as to your out burst against Nutty. I know sh edidn't really handle this thread in teh best way but your posts to her just seem so harsh and not deserved imo.

Thankyou, Jimjams and Northener. I didn't realise that about the fish oils, will have a look in Boots today.

I did just type a big long reply but then decided there was really no point. Alot of people have decided what type of person I am and so I think i'd be wasting my time.

My OU stuff came today, i think i'd be best to perhaps change to a completely different name and just stick to posting in the student parents section, and avoid the rest of the board.

That would be a shame, Nutty.
A lot of people have offered their support and advice on this thread.

tubismybub · 24/02/2007 09:47

Nutty, EyeQ (SP?) are one of the better fish oil supplements to take as they have quite high levels of whatever it that helps (sorry can't think of technical word!}
Not sure if boots do them but defo local chemists will.

Yep and alot of people have treated me like some teacher hating self obsesssed person with my head stuck in my ass.

Hmm i'll have a look tubismybub, but tbh i'm not sure i can afford those ones, will see if there is any offers on though.

OP posts:
tubismybub · 24/02/2007 09:54

Yes they are a bit expensive, perhaps ask the pharmacist if there are any cheaper brands with the same sorts of levels that EYEQ have. Hopefully there might be a 3 for 2 offer on.
Best of luck, I found it took a month for them to help and you do have to take quite a high dose for the first couple of months to get your levels up.

northerner · 24/02/2007 10:40

Nutty, I have learned it's best not to criticise teachers on this board

However, as in any profession, there are good ones and crap ones.......

Jimjams2 · 24/02/2007 11:14

Go for omega 3's rather than high omega 6's (which Eye Q is) if you can.

tubbytoes · 24/02/2007 11:30

I am new to this thread and have been reading it with growing disbelief! Why ask for peoples opinions if you're just going to throw abuse at them? No, we don't know exactly what your cicumstances are, but from what you have posted it's clear that a) you have a dd and a younger dc and b) you were able to attend dds assembly so are either not working fulltime or are fortunate enough to have an employer who allows you time off for this kind of thing, so already you're in a more fortunate postion than some of us. Your extreme reaction is not helpful to your dd -anyone who can rant all day like you over a relatively minor incident is clearly not in a good place emotionally, and that will be having an effect on your dd whether she is in the house while you're posting or not. A quick glance through the various threads on mumsnet shows that some parents are having to cope with truly dreadful situations: marriage breakups, miscarriage, nfertility,birth defects, even losing their child for gods sake. If you react in such an extreme way over this, what would you do if something really bad happened?

Tiggiwinkle · 24/02/2007 11:39

Northerner-I quite agree with you-I read the thread last night and could not see where it was all coming from.
Tubbytoes-You obviously have absolutely no idea as to Nuttys circumstances!
Nutty-hope you are feeling a bit better today. Good luck with your OU course by the way!

kittywaitsfornumber6 · 24/02/2007 11:41

Tubby, I think Nutty is depressed and people with depression do not react in a logical fashion.

harpsichordcarrier · 24/02/2007 11:42

tubbytoes, what an extraordinarily bitchy and unhelpful post.

tubbytoes · 24/02/2007 11:50

she asked for peoples opinions, she's got them. I don't think it is helpful to pretend that this issue is more important than it is. And i actually said I DON'T know her circumstances - i'm going by what she has said herself

kittywaitsfornumber6 · 24/02/2007 12:06

Tubby, that's true and I can see how you have become irate. However, as I mentioned before when people are stressed and depressed you cannot expect of them what you might term a balanced or reasoned reacation to perceived problems.

bampa · 24/02/2007 12:09

I don't think you're being unreasonable. The teacher should have realised and asked her if she still wanted to take part but it would mean dancing alone. It must have been very upsetting to have to watch her cope up there all on her own and what a credit to you that she did. With regards to the teacher I don't think I would bother saying anything as she probably feels bad. The important thing is that you tell your Dd how amazing she was and how proud you are for doing the dance on her own. That'll mean more to her than anything
