Teacher hand delivered certificate usually given out in class.

[howmanycorners]

I don’t know what to make of this, dc is in primary school and every week someone gets a certificate.
Suddenly I saw my child’s teacher walk past the lounge window at about 8 pm and post a certificate through the door.
Aibu to find it a bit strange and wonder why she did this having had to look up our address and purposely drive to our house when all certificates are handed out in school and she would see my child in the morning?

I disagree.. I have commented that to believe the teacher overstepped boundaries is unwarranted and I have taken the piss out of other comments, but have not suggested the op is mad or paranoid or made any unfounded accusations re the op.
as I said upthread do report me for bullying if you think it’s warranted an no doubt my posts will be removed should MNHQ agree.

Its not really the same as you turning up on her door step though is it, she was visiting in a professional capacity. As a teacher myself I often have to look up parent contact info to communicate with parents and have in the past been asked to drop in resources or even pick up pupils to sit exams etc… it shouldn’t be a big deal, should it?…

What a kind thing to do, your gratitude isn't obvious. I'm sure she's got better things to do.

We once got a certificate posted to us by the teacher and thought what a lovely kind thing to do.

There is no motive behind this. I hope you thanked her for going out of her way for your child.

Maybe she lives nearby. Plus it can sometimes take 1 one parent to complain that a certificate wasn’t delivered, for then certificates to be delivered if eg assembly wasn’t going ahead because of the heat.

Or, just ask? I’m sure you’ll get an answer. Whether it’s satisfactory or not depends on you or the school. I wouldn’t be bothered by it. We live opposite our kids school. 🤷🏻‍♀️ people know where we live

(PS, I was a teacher)

Why on earth would there be any sort of altercation?!

I have not experienced gossip about parents in the staff room. Your choice whether you believe me or not. I have not experienced bullying where I work either.

I don’t believe my posts on here amount to bullying either. Do feel free to report if you believe they have.

I trust you have business insurance on your car then

I don't feel the need to report you and have your posts removed. Mumsnet is full of passive aggressive posters who love to 'take the piss'. You've found your crowd!

I’ve hand-posted stuff through letter boxes before on the way home. Usually things like food-bank vouchers, important documents for parents etc. I am a DSL and It’s always been pre-arranged and agreed. It’s either urgent, or the family cannot easily come to collect (sick children, own disabilities etc).

I’m sure the intention was a kind one and they posted and left but, I would never want a teacher to do this. It puts them at risk. It’s a no from me.

absolutely. When the topic seems completely batshit we do like to come out and play.

I also sometimes think posts should be left to show what they are (unless grossly offensive).

Putting something through a letterbox poses no risk to either party.
Mostly you only know it's happened because there's something come through onto the mat.

But bullying is against the rules so you should really report me. It’s for the greater good.

Well no but I think coming to our home oversteps a boundary.
Maybe if she invited herself in for tea and cake it would be a bit much but not to drop a certificate off.

No no no- you must report. Unless, of course, there has been no bullying….?

Not even knocking on the door or expecting it to be opened.

A sensible post! Proportionate response to what a family needs and agrees to (unless for safeguarding reasons). How to build mutually respectful relationships within the whole school community.

I've clearly hit a nerve. Have a lovely evening taking the piss out of strangers on the internet.

It’s not knocking on your door out of hours.

Its posting something through your door because they look after your child all week and have their address.

Well it’s too hot to do anything else.

Are you 12? Maybe you indeed still are at a school. Why would I need to tell teacher? Even if I did and nothing was taken down it would only "prove" that technically no talk guidelines were broken.

Where I work they are usually picked up in the school minibus, so no insurance issues.

No, it’s not a sensible post. Suggesting that posting something through a person’s letterbox puts you at risk is not a rational response.

Why accuse me of bullying if it’s not actually true…
Now you are just being nasty to me…sob!
