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?

In our case she'll have asked the Cover Supervisor who lives on our street. 😂 There's always someone watching you. 😉🙄😂

Fewer and fewer people! The recruitment and retainment crisis is schools is very real.

She obviously didn’t realise you were a Mumsnetters, or she wouldn’t have dared to “overstep” by using your letterbox….

If this is real - it.is an example of why people think twice before acting on a kindness.
Turning into cynical.misersble buggers.

Or perhaps the teacher could not face your child getting presented with the award because the teacher would be overcome with jealously so did a sneaky door drop instead 🤨🤔

Are you presenting as a stately home parent and living in a cul de sac?

This teaching is giving her time and money to be kind and the interpretation is peculiar

I’m not usually a paranoid person but I did wonder why she would come to our house like that. We have a big grassy area at the front so the door was open and we were in and out as I was watering the plants so it did feel a bit invasive that she was suddenly walking past our open window to the front door.

If you're 'not usually a paranoid person', why on this particular occasion were you so colossally paranoid, then?

Presumably your child’s lovely teacher wanted them to have their certificate as she thought they’d be pleased about getting it.

What a total bitch.

Not.

It’s posts like this that make me glad I retired from teaching early! No pleasing some people!

No good deed...

I think this is quite a paranoid attitude. At our school the reception teacher visits all children in their own homes before school begins, this is very normal.

Our school also does various trips involving local walks and the kids love to point out their home to everyone if they walk past it. Its not usually something people are secretive about.

So it was done at 8pm and you had today to actually pick up the phone and call school to ask them, yet your thought process was to ask someone on here who isn’t your teacher?
how have people become this lazy?

And if OP was out the front watering plants, why on earth didn't she speak to the teacher?

Maybe this teacher still actually likes being a teacher and just wanted to make sure your child got their certificate because she thought it might be important to them? Did you even bother to thank her?

How else would she get to the front door? She wasn’t to know your door and window would be open!

she was doing a kind thing!

Paranoid!

Sounds like she was trying to be nice making sure she got her certificate.

this sounds very much like your making a mountain out of a molehill (and a tiny molehill at that!)

I would assume it was supposed to be given out but it wasn’t and she had some spare time that she very kindly used to bring it round. The fact that it felt invasive because your window was open and there’s a chance you may have been watering some plant pots says a bit about the way you think

We once hand delivered a certificate at the end of a term because it was not handed out in the end of term rush. We thought the child might have been upset. In this case the parent emailed to say thank you.

It's not invasive. It's a nice thing to do. Relax.

No good deed goes unpunished, how kind of her to make sure your child got his certificate safely.

That's what decent parents do.

This.

Have you missed something out? Did she help herself to the contents of your drinks cabinet? Move into the spare room? Have a shower? Make off with a garden gnome? Because from what you posted she dropped off a certificate without disturbing you at all. That sounds nice.

Maybe your child told her something odd about the house, like you had a swimming pool in the front garden or four armed guards in the doorway. Or the roof had blown off in a hurricane and that's why they hadn't done any homework for the last five weeks.

And she just fancied seeing for herself.
