I know a case where a teacher completely ignored a student who had learning difficulties. The parent noticed that the student was falling behind and tried to communicate with the teacher. But the teacher brushed it off, saying the student was just lazy. The parent had to fight really hard to get the school to take the student's situation seriously and provide proper support.
Sure. There was this teacher who always favored certain students in the class. When one student's parent complained about the unfair treatment, the teacher retaliated by giving the student lower grades. It was a really bad situation.
A preschool teacher I knew was very impatient. When the kids asked her simple questions, she would roll her eyes and give short, rude answers. It made the kids feel like they couldn't approach her.
My worst experience was with a substitute who was extremely strict for no reason. She didn't allow anyone to even whisper or move slightly. It was like being in a prison. Everyone was so tense and couldn't focus on the lesson.
One horror story is when a parent blames the teacher for their child's bad grades without realizing the child never does homework. The parent yells at the teacher in front of the whole class, making the teacher feel humiliated and the students uncomfortable.
Sure. There are stories where a teacher notices a particular talent in a student and informs the parent. Then the parent encourages the child to pursue that talent further. They might work together to find resources like extra - curricular classes or mentors. This is a great non - erotic parent - teacher story that shows how they can team up for the student's development.
One interesting parent - teacher story could be about a teacher who noticed a shy student. The teacher talked to the parent, and together they found a solution. They enrolled the kid in a small drama club at school. The parent supported by rehearsing with the child at home. Eventually, the student became more confident and started making more friends at school.
There was a case where a teacher lost a student's important project work. The parent had spent a lot of time helping the child with it. When the parent asked the teacher about it, the teacher blamed the student for not handing it in properly. The parent knew this was untrue as they had seen the child submit it. This led to a lot of tension between the teacher and the parent, and the student was disappointed about losing the opportunity to be graded fairly.
There was a situation where a teacher made inappropriate remarks about a student's appearance in front of the whole class. The parent was horrified when their child came home crying. They went to the school to complain, but the teacher tried to downplay it, saying it was just a joke. It took a lot of effort from the parent to get the teacher to apologize properly.
I knew of a preschool teacher who was always on her phone instead of interacting with the children. She'd just let the kids play by themselves without any guidance. Once, a little boy fell and hurt himself, but she didn't notice right away because she was too busy texting. This is really unacceptable as preschool teachers are supposed to be vigilant and take care of the kids.
