Seems like everybody is on this German community forum.
Ch's 'bare all' reply got an answer from no other than a parent whose children study in this school and who is also a member of the committee. And then this answer in turn got replied by Ad herself.
Parent's answer:
you have a right to your opinion but putting up a message like this is not in the interests of the children or parents of the Kindergarten who would like to find the best person for the job. This teacher had to leave because of completely different reasons and we would like to have continued good care for our children. Since October the atmosphere at the kindergarten has been great and everyone seems very happy, and most importantly the children are happy. You need to think about 50 or so parents you are affecting when you put up a message like this.
Ad's answer
I agree on your point of view, posting comments like this affects many parents, for this reason I have emailed the PTA members so you can all be aware of what has happened.
These responses require further commentary...and explanation.
The parent's reply has warmed my heart but with a pronounced ache somewhere deep down.
Does this parent even know the ugly truth behind? Just because his son is in Mk's class who is a great loving teacher and because his daughter is in my class who especially loves me and is in turn greatly doted on and fully taken care of by myself and Cl , doesn't mean that all the children of the school are equally loved and cared for and hence no point of dissatisfaction. I know the parents of my group children greatly love me and respect me - both me and Cl - because of the immense love, care, understanding and support which we extend toward them. Just try telling them once that their group teacher will be changed or their children will be sent to any other teacher, they will look seriously alarmed. I have never seen any other teacher in the whole school love her kids and strive for their happiness the way we three do.( And no, I am not being vain)
And what happiness in school atmosphere is he talking about? There has been only one thing to spread joy, excitement, merriment and a feeling of celebration and that was the Christmas play since the first day of its play practice to the final day..(We all know what it was underneath) and of course because I kept my mouth tight shut like an oyster shell and not talking about the dirty things I under went with, with any of my colleagues or parents, not even Cl. whatever I told Mk's father was just "management not supporting me to get mike' stuff. To this day, except Mko nobody in the school know I was getting sacked. My solemn salute to this excellent man's genuine discretion and feelings.
The other glaring example of my being correct and not vain is the praise singing reply of another parent of my class whose child had been recently admitted in my class. Apart from this reply why were all the other posts about this school only complaints and rants?
I know this that there has been a significantly increased amount of love, care, communication and children's academic/ activity progress and parent's love and support ever since I started working here. Earlier there was only Mk; now there are three of us. This does in fact improve school's previous image in public and parents' personal experience.
I would like to see this parent's face if I told him how I was also being fired just like Ad just a month ago.
Isn't it ironic that the school is riding on the very sentiments created by me for because of which it was firing me?
