This is certainay not a teacher/TA bashing thread,I'm a TA myself.And I know there's much bigger things going on right now.
Anyway,one of the parents of dd's friend and classmate posted a pic on fb of her Dd doing some assigned work.
I commented to say,messing about"tell her to have a word with Dd as she won't do it for me without a fight".Other mum said"oh I told her I'd show Mrs ** if she doesnt".
Now Mrs * is a TA who covers their class one morning a week,so most kids assume she's a teacher,I myself did for quite some time,for context she is known as the "shouty teacher",anyway,said TA is friends with other mum on fb and left a comment addressed to me"Mrs Bingeslayer tell * I am disappointed in her!!! No lol or smiling emoji so deadly serious.
Aibu to think wtf,we as adults are stressed out never mind a 7 year old who's isolating after being ill,so doesnt even get her 1 walk,doesn't get to go to school or see her friends or go out to play.

Exactly, you are right - I never mention my children online anywhere with anything that could identify them.

I strongly believe in an individual's right to privacy. Parents blabbing on about their children on FB or anywhere else public online is really unfair I think. I don't agree with it at all.

Boohoo. Get a grip.

Exactly

If you want to have a private conversation with the other mum then message her privately like many millions do.

If you want to publicly discuss your daughter on FB then be prepared for comment by any of the many people who could (potentially) read said posting.

It was a joke, no?
