[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 90194, member: 1991"] I would put things in writing from this point. Begin with your defence against ANY implication that you are not capable of doing your job. Make it clear, in writing, that you did a good job, went above and beyond the call of duty and would do so again if you see a need - this is what you feel the job requires. And a SEPARATE letter perhaps outlining your concerns for your son, your experience with C and HOW YOU FELT rather than any overall statement about right or wrong. Minute the events you have described above, make it clear that you are confirming events for the record and also make your point IN WRITING that you do not want your child driven by this person because if she said this to YOU, what could she say to a child, without thinking she's saying anything important. Don't mention anything personal she has said about her own background - certainly mot at this point - only the stuff she has said to you which caused you distress. Keep both letters gentle, calm but concerned. Do it BEFORE you resign but preferably AFTER you have good assurance that you have another job. because if you resign and THEn hand in the letters, they can still make it look like you were fired for incompetence. You can be sure she was spoken to after you complained. And like a lot of people when they are challenged, she responded with attack. "Well, SHE is incompetent, can't even recognise faces..." sort of thing. I understand about face blindness - easy child 2/difficult child 2 and difficult child 3, at least, have this. I agree, it is no big deal when it comes to recognising facial expressions or signs of seizure; it's just that for some people, they just can't recognise differences between faces. And there are grades of this. If you had full-on face blindness you wouldn't even recognise the faces of family members whether in context or not. To not recognise a familiar face when it's out of context - that's not too severe; definitely manageable. Certainly not a bar to a job like yours. Marg [/QUOTE]
