She’s Feeling Distraught Over How Her Daughter Was Cruelly Treated By Her Teacher Recently
Did you ever have a teacher during your childhood years that said something to make you feel bad? So many teachers out there are hardworking, lovely, and kind, but some are not great at their job.
One woman is distraught over what her young daughter told her about what was supposed to be a special day at school that her mean teacher eventually ruined.
Her daughter is in the first grade and loves to read. Luckily, her school awards great readers and hosts “read-a-thons,” where if a child reads for a certain amount of time, they get a prize.
Her daughter logged enough minutes of reading to earn five prizes. One of the prizes she chose was a “movie day” at school. During movie day, kids who won the prize go to a separate classroom in the middle of the school day and watch a movie.
When movie day came along, her daughter unexpectedly came home from school very upset. She told her that she had gotten in trouble at school.
During movie day, her daughter realized that she wasn’t a big fan of the movie that was playing. So, she asked the teacher supervising the movie if she could return to class. The supervising teacher was very nice and told her, of course, she could.
But when she returned to her classroom, her first-grade teacher was less than pleased.
“Her teacher was livid,” she explained.
“She said she was ‘rude’ for wanting to leave the movie and was ‘off limits’ for the rest of the day.”

When she asked her daughter what being “off limits” means, her daughter explained that it’s a cruel practice her teacher uses. When students are “off-limits,” no one is allowed to speak or interact with them for the rest of the school day.
She had never heard of her daughter’s teacher using this method before and was appalled.
“Maybe there’s more to the story, but my daughter insists there isn’t, and I believe her,” she said.
“She was worried I would be mad, but I definitely am not. I don’t see why she should be forced to watch a movie that is a prize, was presented as optional, and was not educational.”
She decided she would email her daughter’s teacher and ask her why she was in trouble for returning to class. She also would like the teacher to elaborate on her “off-limits” punishment method.
Her plan is to approach the situation carefully so that her daughter’s teacher doesn’t continue to treat her poorly over an angry parent email.
If things escalate poorly with her daughter’s teacher, she’ll bring the principal into the discussion.
How would you react if that happened to your child at school?
