My Daughters 2 Grade Teacher.

I'd let it go. It is a new year. I promise the other teachers are probably seeing way more than you are. They are there day in and day out. While I can understand trying to keep parents happy, I do think it was wrong of him to disclose any problems he was having with her. This makes me question the school as a whole, and not just the teacher. If it were me, and a principal were being so irresponsibly "gossipy" with me about a teacher, I would be looking to transfer schools. If he cannot control himself, how can he control his teachers? Good luck!

I would let it go. The other teachers probably know how she is and would disregard anything she says about a child's parent. And what if she really didn't say anything about you and then you say something to your daughter's new teacher? It would make you look bad. I would take the high road on this one (although I can understand why you are debating this).

I would let it go unless/until you see or hear something that indicates a change in behavior or attitude to towards you or your daughter. Then I would schedule an appointment with the new teacher and discuss the problem without bringing the old teacher into it unless she vocalizes the old teacher is the reason for the change.

I'd just let it go. I'm sure the new teacher sees her the way you do. You're probably not the only one who's sees this and with the principal being involved, you have nothing to worry about. Just be polite and pleasant which will make her look like more of a fool, if she's bad mouthing you.

Personally, I think I would have issue with the principal after all that. If the principal is literally telling you dirty laundry about this teacher, that's a big red flag to me about the way the school is run in general. That is certainly not professional and I would question the judgement of the administration. A lot of your complaints about her seem to be total heresay b/c I would doubt that the children are allowed on the playground with NO adult supervision...no way. And if they are, I refer back to the problem lies within the administration.

If I were you I would not say anything to the new teacher and just forge ahead with trying to create a positive relationship between the two of you. Then I would take notes about all the other things that you think are inappropriate and save them in case you need them.

Let it go. You didn't see eye to eye with the 2nd grade teacher. That was last year. This year is a fresh start with a new teacher. Doesn't matter if she said something about you. I'm sure all teachers talk. All parents talk about teachers right? Ignore her. Spend your efforts working with your daughter's new teacher.Good luck!

Chances are that your child's new teacher knows all about this 2nd grade teacher, if she's been "in trouble" as much as you say. So she may not be taking everything 20-something says as gospel. I'd let it go, unless you have any specific problems with the new teacher. If so, address them directly.

I agree you should start fresh with the new teacher. That means you bring your child to school on time, prepared and well rested you and expect her to educate your child and keep her safe. If she is not keeping your child safe send an email to her and cc the principal. Keep copies of any correspondence if you have problems in the future, but keep your notes to the point, if the problem is safety, (or education) dont write about the teacher's clothing. for instance here you said her clothes and make up were age appropriate but later mentioned the principal said it was inappropriate. Who cares about her make up if she isn't keeping your child safe? Are there teacher assistants or other staff outside in charge of the children at dismissal time? hope so

Let it go. Don't stoop to her level. I'm sure the 3rd grade teacher is aware of her unprofessional attitude.

I am a teacher. Enough is enough. You are not going to tarnish her record. Tell the principal about the latest. Then go to the superintendent with the entire list. The other teacher if s/he is professional will see your daughter for who she is.
If it's public school remember this:your property taxes pay for a service and you are the client.

The 3rd grade teacher probably already gives no credibility to what she says anyway. Other teachers know what goes on and don't respect teacher like you explained. You have nothing to worry about. Start talking about her would make it worse. Like everyone else has said let it go, so you don't give any kind of credibility to what she might of said.

I would agree with the other posters for sure. Let it go, take the high road, and don't say a bad thing about her to anyone, especailly your daughters teacher. People do wonder if you will speak about them some day too when they hear you speak about someone else. The teachers know all about her, and you don't want them to be talking about you in anything more than a nice way!

Role playing is not the best, volunteering really is! When you role play, you still see situations as they are interpreted by an 8 year old!
