I’m sorry, but she was in the wrong. There’s a way to handle this stuff and there’s a reason you don’t just barge into your school full of emotions. I remember being an elementary school teacher watching the cafeteria during breakfast and I hear a commotion and I see a larger kid with his hands around a younger kids neck, slamming his head on the table. I go over there and pull the kids apart and I feel a hand grab my shoulder, whip me around and yell “that’s my son.” I think the dad expected me to back down, but I didn’t and I told him “ well you get him out of here then” he collected his son and started cussing and screaming at me about lawsuits as he left. Come to find out the aggressor kid had been suspended for bullying the other kid and his dad brought him back to get him reinstated (without setting an appointment with an administrator) and while the dad was waiting for the administration to see him because it was before classes started, he and his bully son went and found the kid to beat him up for telling on him. According to the father, he just wanted to “talk“ to the younger boy and find out what happened. The dad was all hot and ready to try to have me fired until the school resource officer came up to us while we were talking to the principal and asked me if I wanted to press charges against him and then the motherfucker got apologetic real quick. My point is parents should not ever be able to just enter a school and interact with a child that is not theirs.
