WIBU to speak to this Mum/teacher

[Pettyargument]

My DS aged 12 has just started high school (in NZ). He just told me this morning that on Friday he and three of his friends (he’s in a group of five) we’re waiting at the bus stop. His other friend drove by with his mother who is a teacher at the school and offered them all a ride but there was only room for three of them so she left my DS at the bus stop and took the rest. I know what he is like and he would have said no that’s fine I don’t mind but secretly he was (and still is) really upset. Should I mention this to her? He’s kind of the underdog of the group as it is and I think as a teacher and a Mum she should know better regardless of him saying no it’s ok. So would I be unreasonable to mention it?

I'd say something in the context of "just in case the same scenario arises again, son was a bit upset getting the bus alone. Appreciate you've had all good intentions but next time, please know he's only being polite when he says he doesn't mind".

Thanks MrsKneller that is worded very well

OP,
I probably wouldn't say anything but I can tell you honestly, she must be thick as mud to do that and it would really, really irritate me.

What a dense, insensitive woman.

Only a really stupid person would do that to a group of 12 year olds.

That she's a teacher makes it even worse.
Your poor son.

It's a rare child that wouldn't have felt that as they all drove off together.

Stupid woman.🙄

Speaking from a (possibly clouded) experience here but my eldest DC was in a very disfunción al friendship group with the DC of one of their primary school teachers.

There was quite a lot of manipulation that I didn’t spot at the time, of sleepovers and sports teams, table arrangements and awards, who was praised and who was punished.

Truly horrific. Keep an eye on your son, especially if he’s bright or sporty but not likely to make a fuss if bullied.
