[quote=Anonymous]Well, apparently I have no right to be so upset.  I do think many people have assumed the situation was different than it was, though.  There were many parents and adults there - there was no need for the teacher to be frazzled or frustrated.  In fact, everything was going fine with the event and everyone was pretty calm and quiet until the teacher walked in and started yelling at the kids.  This teacher has a habit of giving one instruction and then changing it and yelling at everyone for what she said to do first.  Or being unclear in general and then getting angry.  It happens daily.  This time, we had the kids all ready for the event exactly the way she'd said to have them - line order - and then she walked in and started grabbing kids and shouting at them that they were in the wrong place and they should be with their table group.  But we had just told the kids to line up in line order, because those were her instructions.  So now a calm situation is chaos as the kids are unsure where to go and are being yelled at as if they did something wrong.  Then an aide walked in and started saying "line order" again.  I simply asked which it was going to be.

The first name issue is not that she called me by my first name in general - it's that she did it in front of the children to "scold" me.  Teachers do not use the first names of adults in front of children - that is standard policy.  They even call each other Mr. and Ms. if there are children nearby.  Parents do the same.

This teacher hasn't been great all year.  She's disorganized and is not a great teacher in general.  I haven't complained once, and have gone out of my way to help out and be extra nice, hoping that would help improve the situation.  Obviously I need to just let this go, and I'm going to.  But I'm not going to continue volunteering, because it's clear she does not want me there.  [/quote]
