Hello to everyone. I look forward to reading your posts and learning from you. I have a question ; do any of you feel anger when you are not treated with respect? I am a teacher, and found out today that the person in charge of training new teachers made fun of me in front of the trainee teachers saying that I was "weird " and that her husband worked in the same school as me and that I " didn't understand what was going on half the time;" 

I have been teaching for 37 years, get good results , and more importantly look after my pupils. I am boiling inside.

  • Hello  and welcome to the community.

    I can quite understand your anger to that experience and I would have been angry if it had happened to me.

    It should never have happened in front of anyone or anywhere, but to have happened in front of trainee teachers is inexcusable. It’s a serious offence and a breach of professional teaching standards.

    I’m a retired secondary school teacher and if it had happened within my earshot I would have reported it to the Principal. The Principal should report this to the Board of Governors and I would expect the trainee teachers’ University/Teacher Training College to be notified.

    It mightn’t be an easy thing to report this, but your teaching record is intact and I would be flabbergasted if your Principal didn’t take immediate action.
