To not like a teacher at DS's school?

[mumpoints]

Do you all like the teachers at your children's schools? There is this one women (not DS's teacher but involved with his class occasionally) whom I really dislike. She's harsh with the children, has completely different views to myself re speaking to little ones (Year 2 and under) and asks personal questions as if she has a right to know (she asked my age once!)

If it wasn't for the fact she is leaving (hurrah!) I would be very worried as DS would have been going up to her class this year.

Does this happen a lot or is this unusual? I normally get on with most people. I wonder whether I'm being a little overprotective because young children, especially DS, are involved.

I’m a member of senior management in a school. When I first took up my current post, I was hounded by parents, falsely accused of things and backstabbed by colleagues who had been in the school forever. It almost destroyed me. Thankfully some gave me a chance.

Well it's all a bit of an eye opener TBF.

why you have hounded the OP, who very classily ducked out of her thread

Nah-OP ducked out when her thinly veiled teacher bashing opening post/subsequent posts, were called out. Certainly nothing classy about the few posters who have been directly rude to Maisy including you, (as opposed to anything ‘implied’.)

I don’t always agree with what Maisy says but her posts are always eloquent and backed up with experience/evidence.

What is GF then? I have no idea.

GF means "goady fucker" which is a kind of trolling. Posting something deliberately to wind other posters up.

Thank you MrsHathaway and those that messaged.

I dislike some one of my DS teachers. But that's because at a friends party around 3 years ago, before my son started school, she was there very drunk. My OH and I were stood at the opposite side of the kitchen to her, and she screamed at my OH to stop undressing her with his eyes whilst she was with her husband. MY OH had barely glanced at her. She got quite aggressive too then slapped another man who tried to calm her down, accusing him of feeling her up. She doesn't recognise me.

I dislike some teachers I work with, they are good teacher to be fair but not nice people.

I also dislike some parents I deal with. I work in secondary school, and I know, when your child tells you something you want to believe them. But I take an instant disklike to any parent that calls me, and will aggressively say 'x told me you gave him a detention and he wasn't doing ANYTHING at all. It's just not fair really and I want to know why you're picking on him' Well, little x threw a glue stick across the room and called another pupil a smelly twat so that's why he has his detention 🙄 Honestly. Like I want to give up my dinner time to give a kid a detention, for no reason at all.

Thank you kitty.
I don't always agree with other teachers on some threads but I wouldn't bring their professionalism into question. They just have different experiences and opinions to me (and as I pointed out with regards to the OP's dislike, having a different view or approach is not a judgement of professional competence).

Some on this thread have shared very real reasons they would have an issue with a teacher. I would have an issue with a teacher if I was in their shoes too.

The thing is those situations are world's away from the speculative, unpleasant remarks (mustn't say bitchy or I'll be in trouble ) suggesting someone you dislike was probably about ti be fired.

GF - as mentioned goady fucker. Like turning up ajd being all 'lol at this thread' or asking questions and then replying 'eugh TLDR haha i'm soooo funny'

Turnocks34 I feel that way about a couple of colleagues I've worked with. I don't really like them as people and they shaft people to cover their own lazy attitude. But they are good teachers so what I think about them personally doesn't come into it. Equally, I've loved some colleagues but they were weak. That meant having difficult conversations because my like for them as a person doesn't come into it.
It's not difficult really:
Professional concerns - deal with appropriately
Bitching and gossip - don't bother

The op speaking on here doesn't mean she's been rounding up a mob on the playground though does it?

The teachers at my daughters school are kind, nice and approachable. The Head teacher is very professional. At my sons school they are cold and often rude to the parents. My sons primary school teacher recently ripped up his work because he had glued it to the wrong page! He was really upset. His teacher told him to stop crying and get over it! Some may not see any harm in this but I don't like this sort of approach. I have recently noticed they rule by fear. We have open class days and they are real eye openers.

One I don't like at ours.She most definitely has her class favourites,(school governors kids,richer more 'prominent' families in the community)in all the years my three have moved up through the school...my own Mother in law worked with her and couldn't abide her.Brown noser.
