| Subject: My child deserves better than to be taught by you Wed Feb 18, 2015 9:53 pm | |
| "...these small humans never seem interested in doing what I tell them to do — even when I shout at them. They ask too many questions, they want to go to the bathroom all the time and they whinge, whinge, whinge. It's suffocating."
You'd be forgiven for thinking such a frustrated statement might have come from an overtired, overwrought mother, but no. Instead these are the words of a 23-year-old primary school teacher who wrote an anonymous confession for the Gold Coast Bulletin over fears she might have chosen the wrong career.
In case she still hasn't worked it out I'm happy to be the one to assure her: hell yes you have! And to her I also say my child deserves better than to be taught by someone as selfish and arrogant as you.
Unfortunately I speak from personal experience. In my son's very first year of school he was saddled with a similarly self-centred teacher after staff changes saw his original teacher promoted midterm. We parents were promised this replacement teacher taught in alignment with the one she was taking over from, and the children would hardly notice the change.
