Teacher yanked my son..

Advice needed really. Just dropped my son at school, we were late due to a car accident which we witnessed on route to school this morning.

A support teacher let us in at the gate and walked us down to the front door. Son then was reluctant to go him, leaning on myself etc. He wasn't fighting or tantruming, he was quiet but definitely putting off entering the building. I was trying to usher him in when the support teacher grabbed his wrist and yanked him into the building. It wasn't a overly aggressive yank in that my son didn't react, he didn't say it hurt etc or fight it. But I did feel in the moment it was unnecessary when he probably would have gone in of his own accord once I'd spoken to him a bit etc.

I didn't say anything but have just got home and thought about it the whole journey. It's made me really uncomfortable and I want to phone the school. AIBU??

I'll add, the whole incident from arriving at the front door and him being physically yanked in was maximum 30 seconds in length.

He doesn't normally refuse to go into school.

So now you’re saying OP made it up 🤦🏻‍♀️ You’re seriously clutching at schools aren’t you. You’re determined to prove yourself right and everyone else is over-reacting and their opinion doesn’t matter. I’ve not since mentioned the accident, I have referred to the yanking in all my recent posts.

Op was lying about seeing the accident. This just makes the rest of her post unbelievable.

@Tietheapron I wouldn’t be impressed if a child was yanked but not entirely sure this is what exactly happened

Tietheapron · 23/03/2023 13:58

Well, I’ll just assume the OP knows better than me, since she was there and I wasn’t. I don’t think adults should be pulling children around bar obviously dangerous situations etc.

The OP also said her child witnessed the accident then later said he just saw a fire engine. Sorry that makes the whole post unbelievable.

It wasn’t known until later that the boy didn’t witness the accident until the OP clarified which is why I haven’t continued that narrative
Could it be because it was a lie, therefore there's a strong possibility that the yank was an over dramatising lie too? 🤔

toomuchlaundry · 23/03/2023 14:04

I would be much more likely to believe the OP if she had said they were delayed because there had been a road accident further up the road which had caused a traffic jam or road to be closed, rather than saying they had witnessed a road accident. Why say you had witnessed an accident when you hadn't?

I am not going to continue a conversation based on an assumption by yourself, I will base it on the original post.

Well, the original post contained a direct lie, so I suggest any of your arguments based on it are suspect and pointless.

Many posters think the same as Readers. The op has already lied once, we have every reason to believe she also lied about this

Cross posted. Well said.

Coffeeandcake15 · 23/03/2023 14:56

Ok @ReadersD1gest and @Plumbear2 you don’t believe the OP that’s entirely up to you but I have no reason not to believe the OP based on seeing an accident and explaining the accident. I have my opinion and you both have yours, this is just going around in circles, my opinion still stands though regardless of whether the thread is accurate or not.

ReadersD1gest · 23/03/2023 14:57

I'm not being funny, but what does this mean?

toomuchlaundry · 23/03/2023 14:58

@Coffeeandcake15 why would someone say they had witnessed an accident when they hadn't? Hope they didn't tell the police they had witnessed it

Op has admitted they didn't see the accident. May check her posts.its not about my opinion or yours, the fact is she did not witness the accident

So you were already quite late and your son was faffing about avoiding going in further delaying the teachers? Ok..

They were involved in a car accident. Hardly the OP just not bothering to get there on time. And how about the teacher is a bit kinder to a child who has just had a frightening experience?

EllaPaella · 23/03/2023 15:09

😳 just read further down the thread- my apologies.

RTFT, ffs. He didn't have a frightening experience, they didn't witness anything at all.
