What would you do?

[Autumnscoming23]

My Sons teacher (who also happens to be a family member) , has accused me of doing something I have not done. I will not say what incase it reveals too much. I have plenty if evidence and more on the way to prove that I have not done this thing. It has also come to my attention that she has been speaking ill of me and has shown a clear dislike in her opinion of me. I am carefully weighing my options of what I should do/not do. I do not want to escelate the situation to miuch as this individual and the family involvement is complicated HOWEVER I feel she has crossed professional boundaries. WWYD?

I would ask that your son move class. I wouldn’t have someone with such a dislike of me teaching my DC, it will affect how they treat him. Having a teacher who dislikes your child in class is awful enough with no family connection, they are such an important part of your child’s day to day happiness in the place they spend so much time.

I would change schools and ensure all education related matters remained separate to family members.

In terms of the accusation, I understand that you don’t want to say what it is, but I don’t think anyone can say what they’d do without that info.

But given the general relationship sounds quite bad, is it possible to move classes (or schools if there isn’t another class)?

Just for clarification up until this point I though we had a decent relationship, until this accusation was made, when trying to defend myself, and when others were trying to defend me she accused those people of being “stuck up my a%&”. DH wants to let the headmistress know, but I’m not sure.

Anyone? Is this a matter best left personal? Or should I address my concerns with the school?

Definitely address with the school. I would disregard the family connection and behave as I would if it were any other professional.

Hugely depends on the gravitas of the situation. If she’s accused you of forgetting your child’s reading book most days, I’d let it go. If she is saying you regularly smack your child it’s a very different situation.

You haven’t included any info, so it’s hard to gauge the scenario.

Its an accusation of myself uploading an indecent image to SM which I certainly have not and have all evidence to prove i have not. I am taking the accusation extremely seriously and the upset it has caused is having a direct affect on my child.

Report to the school.
