[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Stop volunteering so many hours. It clearly isn't appreciated. Don't volunteers for her anymore. School year is almost over so let it go.[/quote]

I'm really surprised how many people say let it go.  Maybe I will try.  I have canceled my classroom volunteer hours for the rest of the year already.  I guess I'm worried that if I let it go, she will think it is OK to treat me badly, and then maybe she'll think it is OK to treat my child badly...like she can get away with it or something.  Obviously, she doesn't like me.  Is that nuts?  I guess it might be.  I've just never encountered this kind of treatment before (at least not until I came to this school).  I don't really know how to handle it.  [/quote]

You rise above and be mature rather than petty like you are being. You show up tomorrow and say "Wow, yesterday our interactions really seemed to spiral downward quickly; I'm so sorry for my part in that. I hope today goes better for both of us!" and then you continue in that vein. Don't you think canceling your volunteering for the rest of the year sends the teacher a passive aggressive signal that you're upset about your interaction today? Of course it does. [/quote]

I thought it sent the message that I don't go where I'm not wanted.  [/quote]
