Preschool teacher stands up to entitled parent ♀️
A preschool teacher’s encounter with an entitled parent has gone viral. The teacher explains how one of her students, Conner, has been excluded from activities due to his entitled behavior toward his peers. The situation escalates when Conner is not invited to a classmate’s birthday party, and his mother demands that the teacher force the other child to invite him. The teacher stands her ground and explains that she cannot control what happens outside school hours. The entitled parent becomes furious and even tries to approach the classmate at school. The teacher finally confronts the parent and explains that Conner’s behavior is why he has been excluded. The parent becomes hostile and threatens the teacher’s job. The post raises the question: is it fair to force inclusion even when a child’s behavior is disruptive to others? Read on to see how commenters are reacting to this teacher’s story.
