[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have been told that because I am "only a teacher" I am not as qualified as the parent - the spouse of a pediatrician - to make observations on behavior trends I witnessed in the classroom. I was not attempting to make a diagnosis or anything clinical, simply raised issues with poor emotional regulation and other classroom issues with peers. The best part is this woman doesn't have a health care background, she was simply married to a doctor. Her husband was pleasant but disengaged. [b]She actually told me that I "probably wasn't intelligent enough" to complete a degree in a more challenging field.[/b] [/quote]

Yet, she was perfectly fine with someone who's lacking intelligence being her child's educator?  :roll:

What in the wide world of sports is wrong with people??

Did you hold your tongue?

If you did respond, please tell us what you said 
(I hope it was undercover snarky, so she didn't understand in that very moment that you were insulting her, but realized it later on when she recanted the story to her DH, lol).[/quote]
