Should I talk to the Principal

[Kitt3n]

I wonder how she snaps at all the kids, all day long? I would definatly be speaking to the principal!

Hi FJ - I would be wondering is it something she has against Evan, or is it all the kids? Regardless though, that really is unacceptable for a child so young, and to have the hide to behave like that in front of the parents. Is there another class he can go in to?

She sounds like the kind of person that wouldn't take it too kindly if you tried speaking to her directly either, which really doesn't help in resolving the issue, which probably means the principal will struggle to get it through to her aswell.

Do you have any idea what other parents are thinking about her?

Thanks for all the replies.

Its hard, its a small school, so only one Kindy class. I haven't noticed her treat other kids this way but I am only watchin gout for my own so I'm not sure. I am going along to a "play date" on friday with some other kids from his class, I might ask their mums then. But I am little worried about bringing it up as I know one of the mums tutors this teacher's DD. So she may be friends with the teacher. Not sure if its the right group to bring it up with. They are all already friends & I will be the odd one out so to speak. They all have older kids that h ave been to teh school also, So Evan has come along & made friends with this group of boys who have all known each other from babies.

Speaking to her directly would also be hard. She seems nice enough, its just her little outbursts. She may not even realise how it comes across.

I suspect at least 2 of the other teachers know I wasn't happy at the disco, The male teacher who came up & also another lady teacher came up a little later & asked if he was ok & then was talking to me, just chit chat. Oh that reminds me, she also went off at Evan to stay away from a table even though the principle her self has asked Evan to be her helper. I did say then that He was helping Mrs X at the time & she said "Oh well he was going to write on the paper etc, thats a little too helpful"
Which was crap but I was in too foul a mood to say anythign further. it had been a long day & at this point all 3 kids were tired, upset & hard to control so it wasn't worth making a scene.

I will see how things go on friday with the other mums but will probably ask to speak with the principle when school returns.

TBH I dont think I'd bring it up with the other mums before the principal, you dont want the teacher to find out (if she is close to the other mum) and think you're talking about her behind her back etc, I think Id wait til school goes back and make an appt to see the principal as soon as you can.

Yeah I think your right. Plus they may think I am just being a sissy LOL

I agree, just go to the principal

Just go to the principal and voice your concerns, say you are worried that she and Evan may have some sort of personality clash. She may be completely unaware she is doing it and might be horrified to find out how you feel.
Please don't get into it with the other mums, its hard for teachers when the mothers crucify us at coffee mornings LOL
