[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here, thank you for the responses. Seems like most feel it could be a trust issue or one that is bigger than the teacher.
In my case I had written a note about a supply the child needed at school. The parent took the note directly to my principal stating that it had a negative tone. I have since shared my original note with a few colleagues/friends none of whom found it to be negative. The parent never communicates with me beyond the minimum (first day, special meetings, etc.). Full disclosure: the DC is very young, has challenging needs, but adores me. While these situations are par for the course when teaching, it can be disheartening when you work so hard. [/quote]

Well sounds like the child is sweet but the mom might be totally stressed out and a bit wacky. I'm sure this won't be the first time you encounter this.

Maybe she can't afford the supply? Or maybe she feels judged because she's late in providing it? And she's not mature enough to say sorry I'm late with it and instead she's a attacking you? Sounds like she's just a piece of work.
Try to soothe her even though she's a huge pain sounds like the best strategy to me.[/quote]
