My daughter's teacher this year just straight blanks me at the parent consultations. Like, it's uncomfortable. Speaking to some other fathers it's not just me. But I am still undecided over whether it's worth complaining as her holding her hands up and saying mea culpa seems somewhat unlikely and I feel I would quickly become the bad guy.
- cies 3y ago> My daughter's teacher [...] it's not just me Maybe it was just her though. I'd talk to the school director over this.
- Neil44 3y agoYou're not wrong but at the same time she otherwise seems to do a good job with my daughter which I'm keen not to in any way get in the way of by making this about me.
- ycombobreaker 3y agoIt's not about you, though; it's about all of the fathers that will follow you. Does your partner see this dynamic as well? Will she support you by redirecting conversations to force your inclusion? That's where I would start, if you don't want to throw her under the bus with her admin.
- Neil44 3y agoYour point is correct of course and I have considered that. Where my partner stands is complicated because I share parents evenings with my ex, whose support I can not rely on to put it mildly.
- ttrmw 3y agoShe is teaching your daughter that treating you (or other men) this way is acceptable. I think it's worth the intervention for that reason.
