[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]

I totally understand your frustration and that you are surprised wit the 'many let it go' advice from many. If not appreciated, at least you should be treated with respect. What she did is awful but since only few weeks are left, it is not a bad idea to pass it.[b] The fact that you canceled all the remaining volunteering schedule should indicate to her what she did was wrong[/b]. But there seem to be too much tolerance here being afraid of retaliation. [/quote]

But by cancelling the rest of her volunteering, the OP is not punishing the teacher as much as she's punishing the kids. End of the school year can get busy and a lot of parent volunteers might be truly needed for end-of-year parties, field day, a lot of things from which OP's child benefits. But OP had to prove a point with the teacher by bowing out. Not the most mature way to handle it. It's the equivalent of "I'll take my toys and go play somewhere else." 
I doubt OP cares about retaliation from the teacher this late in the year. Read the post and the follow-up. OP wanted her props for being super-duper (especially when she told the teacher, I could be spending my time somewhere else). [/quote]
