Teacher shouted at me

[Millie2018]

Dropped my DD off at nursery and walk round past the junior school building to get out. I’m pushing a buggy, which has my 1yo asleep in. A teacher opens her door and starts shouting at me. I can’t hear so walk closer to her and say pardon and she shouts at me “we are trying to do a test in here”. I’m confused and look around and say ok? Then another parent comes over and picks up her nursery aged child who had wondered over to the classroom window. The teacher obviously thought the child was mine. I’m pretty shocked. Firstly, when did it become ok to shout at parents on school grounds? Secondly, you're shouting at the wrong parent. Thirdly, it’s nursery pick up time and your window is on the pick up route (there’s no alternative). Would I be unreasonable to drop in the office on my afternoon run to mention it? Or is this just the norm now?!

I would let it go. It's no big deal.

I’d mention it.

i'd mention it personally. There's no need for that.

Oh I would mention it with bells on. No need to be so rude. Power tripping.

I honestly can’t imagine I’d still be thinking about it minutes let alone hours later.

If you’re still bothered at picking up time then sure, mention it to school. I wouldn’t though.

So she’s shouting but you can’t hear her. Perhaps that’s why she was shouting.

Exams are a stressful time. I’d let it go.

I would mention it. It’s not okay. Teachers are under a lot of pressure but I wouldn’t be shouted at.

Says week isn't it, I'd imagine she was very stressed and let it go.

I'd be really annoyed and complain. How rude to shout at a parent especially in front of children.

Also, why is it on every other thread like this we’re told to think about what the other person might be going through to provoke such a reaction.

Yet no one thinks a teacher giving a test might be a bit stressed?!

It’s awful that’s she shouted at you but I would let it go. One word SATS! Very stressful time and we all
Make mistakes.

Presumably mid sats, stressed out. If I mentioned it it wouldn't be a complaint per se, I would try to dress it up as a light hearted comment.

SATs week. If the teacher is that stressed about a toddler at the window then you can imagine how stressed he's been in the lead up to these pointless tests. I feel sorry for the children in his class. He could've made the point without shouting.

It's SATS week, I assume when you and the other parent walked past kids looked out of the window or somesuch.

I'd leave it.

Sorry she no he!

Maybe it's an ongoing problem that nursery children are going up to tne windows and distracting children.It's SATS week, children have worked hard for this and concentrating on their tests. The teacher has worked hard prepping the children and had enough of nursery kids distracting them during normal lessons never mind SATS.

Not

Ffs

Her class would have more than likely taking their sats! She wrongly presumed the child was yours and shouted at you to make you aware. I wouldn’t complain personally, who’d be a teacher these days!

And you think an investigation is going to be launched? That will be binned as soon as it crosses the school secreatrys desk.

Ah, I didn’t know it was SATS week. That does change my position on it. The woman whose child it was couldn’t have cared less. I’m so new to this!!!!

I’m in a customer facing role and guess I instinctively thought I’d never get away with that behaviour at work!

What was the toddler doing? If they were shouting and dancing about outside the window where the exam was being sat (and maybe not for the first time) that would be very distracting.

Someone said it’s rude to shout at a parent in front of the children? Maybe so, but even ruder to let your toddler charge about when you know (schools always put notices up asking for silence near exam rooms) other children have been working very hard and are trying to concentrate.

If you so wished you could grab the teacher and explain the child wasn’t yours and that you hoped he didn’t cause any unnecessary noise when the children were taking their exams?

The SATs are in the mornings until Thursday
