Not a teacher's arsehole (merely full of shit)


Adam's teacher sunk to a whole new low today in class.

Earlier this year, she made a fuss with Adam (not with me) about my lack of forthcoming payment of $10 for a "class contribution" towards her purchasing extra resources for her self-professed teaching needs. There were a several things wrong with this scenario;

1. She had neglected to inform me previously that this $10 was required, as she had neglected to ensure she furnished ALL her individual student packs with ALL the documentation she wanted to hand out. Oops.

2. She tackled Adam and gave him a hard time about it (more than once) instead of communicating with me. Bigger oops.

3. At the start of the school year, we, as parents were required to purchase the standard Year 7 stationery pack containing all the types of stationery and equipment our children would require during the year. We weren't allowed a requirements list to purchase our own, we had to buy their overpriced stationery (so that they made a tidy profit). Her "class contribution" was to purchase additional materials over and above the class requirement to feed her own pet class projects. If the kids needed them, they should have been in the stationery pack. Oooops.

Her repeated inability to follow simple procedures such as parental communication when required over these types of issues (prefering to badger children) and the non-curricular payment requirement were discussed briefly with her at the last parent/teacher interview (with her superior present) and then at length with said superior and HIS superior, at which time we made it very clear (like crystal, baby) that she was not at_any_time to discuss issues such as this with Adam, but was required to communicate directly with me.

You may remember (but probably don't) my bitching a few months ago about her giving him a ton of grief (more of her bullying tactics), and that I was not a happy camper where she was concerned. Later, when compulsory cross country day rolled around and he was concerned he had missed it, she said to him "so that's why you were away yesterday, because you thought you would get out of cross country?" when his absence was due to his ongoing and increasing migraines, which she was already very aware of, along with his hard work preparing for it and his desire to meet the challenge of the run.

Today she sunk to a whole new level when she addressed the whole class and proceeded to publicly name and shame 5 students who were in arrears for this class payment (yesterday she told Adam that he wouldn't be included in class picnic day if he didn't pay up - shame he is expected to be in Australia on that day if his dates for the class picnic are correct, but she doesn't know that yet).

And now I have so many issues with this lowlife, unprofessional bitch that I am preparing to nail her arse to the wall via every conceivable avenue should she, and the school not only provide an adequate and satisfactory explanation (OURS this time, not their own self-serving, slimy satisfaction) and a written and verbal apology to Adam for being vitimised in front of his whole class.

Mrs M*** W***s of Tauranga Intermediate School just bought herself the potential for an official complaint to the Principal, the Board of Trustees, the Education Review Office and Ministry of Education for lack of professionalism, breach of privacy and the continual bullying she has given my son for the past 9 months. I'd like to see her stupid ass nailed to some wall and I'm planning on wielding the hammer.

I really hope I meet her on the street one day; I'll teach her a few new words and rip her a couple of new holes to reinforce the lesson. Nobody fucks with my kids and gets away with it - especially some brainless twat like this one is. Let's see how she likes taking on a parent instead of bullying an 11/12 year old child.

PS - I'm REALLY pissed off... can you tell?

And while we are on the topic of assholes, check this one out.



What were his parent's thinking?
