Hi,
I wanted your opinion on this. We live abroad where the education system is different so chose to send our children to a good private school. By chance our babysitter told us her best friends cousin is starting to teach at the school next week. She has been working in a bank and because she apparently knows the headmaster he has given her a primary school class straight off and will go to college on a saturday to do her teaching certificate.
I've no problem with career changes and I am sure she is lovely and will eventually be prepared, but am I unreasonable to think this is pretty outrageous? We really work hard to pay to get our kids the best education and expect them to hire the best teachers, or at least ones that have taught before.
Im unsure how to react - due to reshuffles I am predicting she will have a class in my daughters year. Can I ask what you would do? Would you ask to speak to the headmaster? I told two other mums today and they didnt believe me, thinking it would literally never happen, but I know for sure that it is. And when it does Ive probably just loaded a right out show down! Which I do feel terrible about, I completely understand the need to treat this girl with respect.
