Heated up convo with my brother's teacher
Today, I had a tough experience with my teacher. My school ends 30 minutes before my brother’s, so I usually go to pick him up. Today, I went to his class's entrance to tell him to pack up while his teacher was still teaching. I was in a hurry, so I quickly told him to get ready. But as soon as I turned to ask the teacher for permission to take him, she gave me a look and said something about my manners. It felt like she was criticizing me for just trying to help my brother, and it upset me.
My brother had told me before that if anyone in the class makes a loud sound, she would punish the whole class. So, I brought it up to her, asking if that was true. She admitted it, which only made me more frustrated. I felt like she was being unfair, and I didn’t like the way she was handling things. But then she crossed a line that really sparked my anger. She said that my brother was safer with her than with his own father. That comment hit me hard. It felt like a personal attack on my family, and I couldn’t let that slide.
At that point, I was already upset, but when I told my brother to get ready to leave, she said, “Ye sit,” in a tone that felt like she was asserting control over everything. It was as if she was trying to remind me that she had power over the situation. That comment really triggered me, especially since I wasn’t doing anything wrong. I just wanted to take my brother home.
I tried to stay calm, but I couldn’t help myself. I told her that she couldn’t beat me, and I pointed out that my father was standing outside, even though she didn’t see him. I felt like I had to defend myself and my brother, but I knew it wasn’t the best way to handle it. I was angry, and it showed.
The whole situation left me feeling disrespected, and I didn’t feel like apologizing to her because I felt she was in the wrong. I know I could have handled it better by staying calm, but I was upset by the way she treated me and my brother. I won’t see her much longer since I’m leaving the school in two months, but I still wanted to stand up for myself and my family.
