So..... long no thread..... sorry.....I returned yesterday from picking my child up at school when I realised I was being snubbed and insulted by the main group of alpha bit**es, . My reason for writing this post is to just pass on my experience and as much as anything inform and hopefully we can all cast a rye smile and accept that these women are everywhere. So eldest son started in reception I decided to be as friendly as possible to everyone, I work and am not always on the playground so I thought this was a good way to get to know the parents and their children, I also became chatty with teaching assistants and the school secretary as I offered to help with trips school fairs...(I promise you I'm not a pushy parent just wanted to help as it's a small village school that relies on parents) everything went well and was harmonious for 3 years until my youngest started school and alpha mum started with her plan of getting her little golden boy to be given the education she feels he so rightly deserves.... over and above the other 29 kids in her class.
I'm aware I'm prattling on so cut to the main
issue..... youngest has now started in year 6 during the first week the kids had a social event on the playground which alpha mum was able to attend due to her being the wife of the chair of governors..... she takes a photo with my child and about 4 other boys clearly in view along with about 15 in the background 2 of which are in local authority care, this picture is posted on social media she has also included the location, 4 teachers commented about her son as did the school secretary, 5 teaching assistants, her husband (who works as a deputy head). The same day (last Thursday ) a text is sent round reminding parents that they should not post pictures on social media from school events, it is also mentioned in the newsletter, by Tuesday as the picture had not been removed from Facebook and after another passive aggressive text from the school I sent the head a very polite and to the point email explaining that she needs to encourage her staff to practice what she preaches as while she is lecturing the majority of parents concerning internet safety her staff (including the secretary who typed out the text) and governing body are really not following her instructions and are making her look hypocritical...... to be fair I was delighted to be given this opportunity as I can tell you a hundred stories of these entitled women who think they run the school. Now I'm blocked from all social media including the school sites and had to stand in the playground with them giving the passive aggressive comments behind my back loud enough for people to turn and stare..... I'm genuinely hard faced enough to withstand this but find writing this post therapeutic and I'd love to hear others stories of their ridiculous experiences without putting off new parents, but just laughing at their sad lives that being too dog on the school playground is the most important aspect of their lives. So my question is AIBU to bring this to the heads attention?
