[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The student teacher sounds socially awkward and tone deaf. OP's DD is not a mind reader and if the student teacher does not want students to bring drinks in class they should say this explicitly, not rely on an awkward joke that is landing like a fart in church.[/quote]

We’ve established the student teacher is being awkward. But OP and her kid have low emotional IQ as well for the two of them to be struggling so much with this. A normal kid would get it and move on, and a normal parent would help their kid practice empathy by saying yeah, they’re a brand new teacher who just wants you guys to like them, lighten up and go easy on them. The two of them together puzzling over this enough to need internet support tells you nobody here is operating with strong social skills. [/quote]

The student teacher is the only one here who is strictly required to have social skills. Imagine if this person micraculously passes an interview and gets hired by a school district as a real teacher. It will get worse.[/quote]

No. I assure you it’s not that serious. Everyone is kind of crappy at this as a student teacher. The idea is you DO get wiser and better at teaching with time but there’s a reason you have a mentor teacher for a whole semester before they let you be the sole teacher. This is very, very normal in the realm of things student teachers learn from during this time. You guys really sound idiots acting like a poorly-landing joke about bringing coffee is the end of someone’s career. [/quote]
