If you’re a parent with nieces and nephews, have you ever had to split up some drama between them and your children?
One woman had to do a lot to defend her daughter from school bullies and told off her niece after she tried to escalate the situation in front of their family.
She’s 44 and has a 17-year-old daughter named Sarah. Sarah had been having issues at school with some mean girls and, unfortunately, a mean teacher.
“The only teacher my daughter Sarah has ever had issue with is Miss Jane,” she said.
“From what I’ve heard of Miss Jane, she gives special treatment to the popular kids because she views herself as a popular kid and wants their approval. Miss Jane turns a blind eye to a lot of bad behavior from the more popular kids in her class.”
One of the girls Miss Jane would turn a blind eye to was Amber, a popular girl who would bully Sarah in her class. Miss Jane certainly witnessed Amber’s mean behavior and didn’t do anything about it.
Sarah couldn’t get her teacher to stop the bullying, so as her mom, she decided to go to the school’s administration and say something. Eventually, the administration stepped in, gave Amber detention, and had her seated further away from Sarah in Miss Jane’s class.
Then, things progressed with Miss Jane.
“After this incident, Sarah said that Miss Jane seemed to take it personally on Amber’s behalf and begun grading her assignments unfairly compared to the other students,” she explained.
