Yesterday Mgt was absent from school - and what a pleasure it was! Our group was quiet, well behaved, well disciplined and we managed them so well without any blunders or pee or poo accidents. I and Cl suddenly realized that we were so much better because she was not there.
Cl coyly admitted that she also got the same ideas as I that Mgt is after all not a good helper for us.
Today Mgt came and the usual thing started. When we started our morning circle time she disappeared with child (who had been crying and would have become quiet in less than a minute) and didn't come back until half an hour later. During the snack time the children were being given butter pretzel. She was going to smear butter on Fr's pretzel; I told her gently not to as he has allergy. She didn't hear me probably for the very next moment she picked up his pretzel and started putting butter on it. I was glad I saw this otherwise we could have been in greater trouble if he had eaten that. She was sorry and I was too that such a thing occurred. I am sure she hadn't heard me properly and this can happen with anybody. She also appeared a bit upset after that and I kept feeling sorry for her.
During the toilet time we spoke to her that she shouldn't let the children go out of the toilet as they not only run and scream but we too get confused who finished toilet and who didn't. So the children were in and she was doing nothing to help us out with them, only chatting with the children. Cl had to go out for a minute and I was busy with another child whom I couldn't leave and in just half a minute Mgt took all the children out and they ran and screamed so much that few nearby teachers started complaining as it was sleeping time for the school. Even if it hadn't been sleeping time it is still against the general code of discipline. When I finally finished with the child and came out I was aghast to see that Mgt was lounging on the floor with a child in her arms who never even cries and was comfortably watching the noisy chaos. How could she do this when we had specifically told her not to?
We are wondering how long can this go on. It is a tricky situation in which we are going to court trouble whether we keep silent or do something about this. She doesn't help us at all; when she does it creates further problem; when we tell her she feels hurt.
Today Mk was looking a bit upset. I asked him what was wrong and he merely said something has happened to upset him but didn't tell me clearly what it was.
'I understand. I am suffering from a bad situation too. And it is funny that children are not the only ones to stress me." I said.
"Are you talking about Mgt?" He asked instantly and I nodded silently.
"I know what you mean." He said. "I have worked with her for a few months and I know she is of no help. In fact she does such things that create further trouble. I could work better without her and was glad when she left me."
