[QUOTE="Farmwife, post: 369938, member: 8617"] Marg, Glad things are going in your direction. As for the staff meeting prior to your talk with the teacher, don't worry too much. As I recall you mentioned that you have a long history with the school not just as a parent but also as a team member. I also recall you mentioning this teacher was relatively new. I would guess that you have a long established reputation that is favorable or they wouldn't have you on the hiring board. In that sort of situation people who know you would question a hasty judgment made by another. Though they may nod their heads just to let the speaker run their course they still may be thinking "I'm not so sure, she seems like a very honest person" in their minds. She may have even pointed her finger at students that other teachers like or see a lot of potential in which could make her look foolish. Not all teachers see a student or group of students in the same way. If this teacher sings her own praises of being an expert too much the other staff members will start to be less and less impressed. If she is quick to judge or quick to find fault that will speak for itself as well. I suspect she has built her own reputation and it may not be as helpful or constructive as yours. Teacher or not, person of authority or not, the people who matter know YOU and your difficult child for who you guys really are.:winking: I suspect that any staff hired while you were on the board think of you kindly and the rest have had a long working realtionship with you that includes TRUST... Don't be so quick to assume anyone took what she said to heart. She may be a pain to them as well. [/QUOTE]
