Primary School Teacher Admits to Lying About Bullying - Should She Be Named???

120 replies

BMHQ2 · 23/10/2017 03:46

My young son was being bullied repeatedly on a daily basis, including verbal threats from the bully that he was going to kill him, physical abuse including the bully placing his hands around his throat.

This was raised directly with his class teacher. I was assured that they were managing the situation and met with the class teacher daily after school to check on the day's progress and to obtain an update.

At the last meeting she assured me that my son was fine that day and stated there were no problems. My son returned to the classroom and I asked him how was today (class teacher was present). He said the bully kicked him in the peanuts, he was in pain, sent to the office and given a warm washer.

The teacher had blatantly lied, hiding an escalating bullying situation.

I called a meeting with the School's head teacher. The class teacher, agreed with the events above that I have described, thereby indirectly admitting to having lied about the incident. The head teacher was obviously not impressed with her admission. No injury incident note was recorded or sent to me by the school.

If this teacher was teaching your child would you want to know?

You also posted this on the 4 October in Bullying and haven't replied to either of the posts...

RancidOldHag · 23/10/2017 08:25

Obviously not enough frothing in the topic, BrittBugs and actual advice not welcome.

Though I wouldn't be terribly inclined to engage with someone who posts a disclaimer such ad that in a global, open internet site, which has share of copyright as part of the terms of posting...

bruffin · 23/10/2017 08:28

TBF nobody replied to OPs original post in bullying

JonSnowsWife · 23/10/2017 08:30

I'm not certain that disclaimer has any legal standing OP.

I understand you're hurt and angry but as someone who's DD went through years worth or appalling bullying going unchallenged bt the teachers (poor sods were scared of upsetting their parents), PLEASE GO THROUGH THE PROPER LEGAL CHANNELS AND THE SCHOOL COMPLAINTS POLICY.

Do not name and shame on a public internet forum, you will make things a hundred times worse. Flowers

chickenowner · 23/10/2017 08:31

I agree with a PP.

You sound completely deranged. You sound like you want to take revenge in any way you can and are not doing yourself any favours.

If you have a problem with your son's teacher then speak to the headteacher. Go through the proper channels.

DO NOT name and shame this teacher on social media. It will end very badly for you if you do.

IHopeYouStepOnALegoPiece · 23/10/2017 08:39

I just sent my friend a link to this thread....bit worried I've opened myself up for legal action against me Wink

HighwayDragon1 · 23/10/2017 08:45

Your disclaimer is useless. This is a public forum, as soon as you post anything it is no longer yours this is how the internet works. Did you also know that anything posted on Facebook, Snapchat or Instagram can also be used by the product owners without your permission? No amount of disclaimers will stop this

user789653241 · 23/10/2017 08:47

I think if you are a parents of bullied child, only thing you would care is the bullying to be resolved. Not about anything else, tbh.

PurpleDaisies · 23/10/2017 08:50

This is really odd.

Mulberry72 · 23/10/2017 08:58

A - You sound unhinged.
B - Don’t be a dick and go through the correct and appropriate channels if you’re unhappy with your DS teacher.
C - WTF is a warm washer?!?!

chickenowner · 23/10/2017 08:59

Does anyone think the OP will be back?

grandioseOtter · 23/10/2017 09:00

The disclaimer is hilarous.

Your idea of 'naming and shaiming' is idiotic at best.

Flowerbot · 23/10/2017 09:07

Doesn’t making claims like this about someone on social media leave you open to legal repercussions? It could be seen as cyber bullying or libel surely?

Fluffysparks · 23/10/2017 09:10

Tbf in my first posts I used to cap the titles Grin

JonSnowsWife · 23/10/2017 09:12

Flowerbot Not unless named I believe.

RedBullBlood · 23/10/2017 09:34

Putting peanuts in a warm wash is asking for trouble. They're going to fuck up your outlet hose something chronic.

Disclaimer: This might not happen. Peanuts are ornery bastards.

KoalaD · 23/10/2017 09:52

Washer = flannel/washcloth

SophantToSuckYourBlooodMumsnet · 23/10/2017 09:57

No I wouldn't plaster it all over social media - unhelpful and one way to get the schools back up. I would go through school complaints process ie taken to governors and then to education authority.

Mummyoflittledragon · 23/10/2017 13:36

Thanks for that enlightening post. Are you going to come back..... after 10 hours??
