Kindi Bully
I’m still in MVWJ as a kindergarten teacher in a private school. After two months of work, ten staff members have quit – most of this is due to the antics of my boss, A.
A’s grandson, D, is in my class. He is out of control. If attempts are made at discipline (like asking him nicely or using a firm voice to get him to stop hitting another child, for instance), he tells his grandmother his teachers hurt him and she immediately takes it out on us. No questions asked. However, I have seen her roughly handle and verbally abuse other students who are misbehaving. H also does not have to do academic work like everyone else.
Despite that the school is open ten hours a day, A’s rules state that NO child in our class is allowed to take naps or have pacifiers. Teachers have been fired for allowing exhausted students to lay down. D–who has his pacifier in almost the whole day–is exempt from this rule. As you can well imagine, morale is low. In order to curb the gossip about her, A made us all sign an “anti-gossip” pledge which stated we would promise not to talk about her. Of course, this persisted so she once again began a round of firing, which stopped it.
One story stands out to illustrate their insanity. Last week, the students were filmed for a local news segment. Before the event started, A pulled me aside and said, “D needs to be front and center on film because he’s got his Spiderman outfit on!” When I watched the evening news, the camera was directed at Spiderman for a few seconds and the rest of the segment was an interview with A. The other students were completely ignored.
I would seriously tell the parents that their children are not even allowed to lay down at kindergarden. That is shocking.
what is this place? a cult recruitment center? i would tell all the parents what is going on. THen quit.
What I want to know is what type of private school this is. IF I were a parent paying for my child to go to private school, i would want to know about this kind of behaviour and get my kid out of there!!!!
What kind of school is open 10 hours a day? I acknowledge that it may not be in the US, but 10 hours? Kinda a lot considering most adults can barely make it through a 9 hour day. And, obviously your private school operates different from most seeing as I didn’t think it was up to the teacher to have THAT much control over a class.
And, what kind of 5 year old needs a pacifier? Any kind of 5 year old. Yuck.
this just seems wrong and should be reported to the authorities for education. if they are on tv…well then. idiot boss. there should be a warning to NOT take this job b/c its that bad. can you imagine the recommendation from said boss? definiteily inform the parents, I would want to know, and then the mob that comes to the school will be pretty overwhelming. the grandfather can’t handle ALL the parents at once….and he will cower in fear.
Heads would roll for this. You need to befriend some class moms and have them help you, because the parents have ALL the power. My mother had to step in and do the complaining for the teachers more than once, administrators have to listen to them!
You gotta stop that. It’s borderline abuse.
When I was 6 I went to a private school that sounded like that. This kid in the kindergarten class below me was so horrible that his parents had to open a school just so he wouldn’t get kicked out of another one (he was 5). He tormented everyone & I ended up having to take tae-kwon-do classes to defend myself (& it was also when Power Rangers 1st came out). Whenever I would try to stand up to him by telling him to leave me alone I would get in trouble. And there were only 2 of us in the 1st grade class & my classmate had a learning disability so my teacher would lower my grades to make the girl feel better about herself (the teacher & the girl’s parents were friends). My parents ended up pulling me out during the 2nd semester because it was such a toxic environment & home schooled me.
I gotta go with everyone else on this. Get the parents involved and get them to help you blow the whistle. Never mind the fact that D is going to be falling behind academically if he doesn’t have to do any of the work, and is going to be in for a huge disappointment later in life when things stop going his way all the time. Grandma can’t coddle him forever. But seriously, get the parents involved, if my kid was in that school and being treated unfairly like that, I’d want to know.
Tronner – 10 hour days would include extended hours for “after school” programs which are very common these days as a way to provide convenient childcare for children whose parents work. It’s not unusual to have a day that runs from 8 am to 6 pm.
Wow, when breeders own a school..
breeder AIDS is well-documented in cases of allowing offspring that would have been killed upon birth in any other species to survive. it is a mutation of the survival instinct which drives otherwise rational people to rabidly defend and even promote even the most corrupted and hopeless human expressions of their DNA.
@ Maggie – thanks!
Zomboid, your comment is disgusting. Every human being deserves a chance at life and evil little children like the one above are only like that for a lack of discipline. Blame the parent not the child.
@KC maybe the comment relates more to the fact that the parent shouldn’t be reproducing.
There are points where survival of the fittest should apply, I mean it’s insane that kids aren’t allowed to take peanuts or peanut butter sandwiches to school – if a child is THAT allergic to peanuts that they can’t sit next to someone eating peanuts then perhaps they shouldn’t be at school, and probably shouldn’t reproduce. Hell I’m allergic to seafood, I take it as MY responsibility to take care of that, I don’t expect others to (and the number of functions I’ve been to where the ‘drop’ of alternative meals have included seafood is astounding – almost everyone I’ve been to in the past 2 years)
