To think the school shouldn’t be ignoring this?

At my DD’s primary school, where there are a lot of children of teachers who attend - There was a mum’s night out last weekend. There, one of the teachers was making unkind comments about some of the children. Including that a couple were spoiled brats, she also speculated that ‘something is wrong’ with a particular child and also slagged off various parents. The people who attended the night out have complained to the headteacher as they felt this teacher, though very drunk, clearly crossed a line.

The school have done nothing but apologised on her behalf.

AIBU to think that more should be done and that they should be utterly outraged at this having happened?

Okay but are you working on stopping your child being a brat?

Get over it.

No. I won’t get over my child being insulted by their teacher. Why should I.

@moomoomoo27 my child isn’t a brat and that’s not what they were called. Neither of my children have had any behavioural issues, ever.

From the Head, good grief, do fully grown adults not take any responsibility for their actions anymore!

It has become an internal disciplinary matter. So the teacher will almost certainly have been told that she is not to discuss it, or to approach any parents involved. She might want to apologise, but she'll not be allowed to at this point. See my earlier post and @LolaSmiles post about how the disciplinary process worked re members of staff in our schools.
