To now dislike my dd's class teacher after finding her on MN?

She wasn't very complementary about the little dah-lings in her care and I am silently fuming now. I completely randomly feel upon her user name and looked at her profile on the off chance that it might be her and there she was - pics n' all. She does not post a lot but one of her posts would put her in line for at least a formal warning if not more.

Can't say who she is but it is definitely her - without a shadow of a doubt.

I have never had MN cross over into RL before. Is it wrong of me to glance at her generally boring posts, just because it's her?

Maybe I could drop subtle hints about the fact that I use MN too just to see her reaction.

In any case, I think it was a bit sloppy and feel she should have taken more care to make herself anonymous.

Stayfrosty - thanks for this:

"you purport to have an 8 yr old dd absinthe. are you happy with her getting a face full of jizz on her first date in a few years' time cos some kid thinks that's what girls want, and she's desperate not to get called frigid or boring?"

Was it necessary to a) use info from another thread against a poster (= stalking, remember?)
b) be so vulgar so as to personally criticise someone's blameless child?

You do yourself no favours. Please reassure me that you are NOT a teacher

Goblinchild- 'Whatever the stresses a teacher is undergoing, it shouldn't leak into the job. Out of hours it's a different story.'
Are you aware that out 'in the real world' there are many organisations which throw out their employees for 'bad behaviour' outside the work place eg Katie Hopkins and her extra marital 'liaisons'.

Re: 'little shits'

I work with a lively, spirited bunch of teenaged lads in a school setting. I know for a fact that a few of us working there have on occasion referred to one of them as a 'little shit' when he's been inexcusably rude again or truanted again..

He's a very bright boy from a very troubled background and is as sharp-witted (and tongued) as you like. Everyone who has said this about him says it out of genuine dismay that he's 'off track' again. Schools can be like families sometimes.. passions run high.. but as it is a professional context, you can't take it out on the kids.. so sometimes you vent. So a post on MN? Really, how bad is this? She's a silly girl to let herself be identified but venting online doesn't mean she's unprofessional or uncaring in any way IMO.

violethill · 28/02/2010 13:07

mrsbean - even the OP has admitted that the teacher didn't use the term 'little shits'. She won't, however, tell us exactly what was said, which speaks volumes.

I still think the OP has a very unhealthy interest in other people's personal lives, which is often a sign of boredom or an unhappy personal life oneself. Nasty, snooping behaviour I'm afraid.

babymutha · 28/02/2010 13:13

print out her page, with pics etc, print out her posts and send them to her at school. Maybe with a little post it saying "professional?". . She'll get the message.

Mumcentreplus · 28/02/2010 13:19

Yeahhhh..print out her Amazon wish list too...that wont make you look like a complete LOON....FFS

How can someone completely randomly fall upon a teachers user name....?

Perhaps she's having an identity crisis?

AnyFucker · 28/02/2010 13:49

absinthe...wweren't you going to name-change ?

knock yerself out, love...

wastwinsetandpearls · 28/02/2010 13:59

Me too, I linked back to the thread expecting to find her opposing porn.

But no she is there, probably in full shaven glory boasting about the fact she likes her husband to inflict pain on her, proud of the fact she has links with pornographers and even delighted that her husband chose hr because she looks like a porn star.

Have you checked red tube or whatever incase your daughter's teacher is on there? Would you mind? What if there was porn in her amazon list.

Voodoo is wrong but prostution is fine, very odd.

Goblinchild · 28/02/2010 14:00

Who is Katie Hopkins?
Can you be sacked for having an affair?

wastwinsetandpearls · 28/02/2010 14:04

Teachers, ( well this one anyway) have had to signa very long and detailed code of conduct. It is also quite vague as to what you could or could not be sacked for , bring the school into disrepute is one. I am sure some schools might include a public affair as that, I don't know whether they would be successful though.

Goblinchild · 28/02/2010 14:15

I know numerous parents that have had affairs,(policeofficers, lawyers, media-types, SAHM and a couple of doctors)
more like musical beds in some weeks, with all the possible blends of sibling-type relationships.
I've only known one teacher who has, and she wasn't sacked. But he wasn't linked to the school.
Just interested as to what should be regarded as unprofessional and sackable errors. Especially if they aren't illegal.

Goblinchild · 28/02/2010 14:18

I wonder where buying and using adult porn would be on the scale?
Out shopping, get spotted.
Go to an Adult Cinema or entertainment and meet a parent...
And then there's swinging (if that's still what it's called)

wastwinsetandpearls · 28/02/2010 14:21

I have known people get into trouble for having affairs at work, but these have been affairs that have not been known to the wider community.

If I were to have an affair and it became knowledge in the wider community I would expect to get a very hard time at work.

Perhaps I should replace the word hard.

"Perhaps she's having an identity crisis?" ...says Mrs BNP.

Daftpunk, I just wanted to say that I love the idea of immigration - my dcs' schools are about 60% non-white - we have just got back from a Roma restaurant run by one of ds' classmates family. ethnic diversity is one of the reasons I am hesitant to HE. A lot of these children of immigrant parents are just so bright - makes perfect sense why they end up getting a good education and employment. Love them - Mwwaaah

Where's absinthe gone? Is she tied to her bed, being whipped by her husband?

Or maybe she's got a dead boring home life and non existent sex life, and all of her posts are just fantasy.........

violethill · 28/02/2010 15:04

Ah x posts, she's back !

Pebbles71 · 28/02/2010 15:42

she sounds a very mixed up person ....
her husband pulled her cos she looked like a porn star...he inflicts pain on her when in bed and he wanted her to be a virgin....all sounds like its read out of a book doesnt it!!!!!!!

wastwinsetandpearls · 28/02/2010 15:54

I doubt she has time to read books, what with all the whipping and snooping.

rainfatclouds · 28/02/2010 15:57

you are not covering yourselves in glory here

as you were

violethill · 28/02/2010 16:10

I hate to think what she's covering herself in......
