Should I Tell Someone?

[KP the nut]

(((Lostbear))), we are all with you in spirit as well. Just imagine that meeting room is full of your
supporters:tup:

 

[mamachick]

Inexcusable behavior. I'm glad you are addressing it and taking a friend.

 

[Eleanor]

Sorry I am not there to go with (minus the bat & fry pan of course;))

Linking arms....

 

[Meadowsweet]

I hope it goes well for you.

Insensitive is an understatement. But was she trying to embarass you, or maybe trying to get you to seek help? An old adage says those who can't, teach. Her bed side manner definately has room for improvement, but her message is clear. She's on your team.

So what to do next. TELL her how her actions have made you feel, tell her you have already got a therapist, and thank her for her concern. And make sure she understands that you don't want the stigma to effect your relationship with your fellow classmates. It's none of their business.

Definitely there with you for your meeting.:tup:

A few tips: keeping a cool head will help, remember to breathe. Maybe take some notes into the meeting to help you focus. This is more about your thoughts & feelings than her opinions.

If you are not satisfied with the outcome, you could take it up with college counsellors so they can support you with the complaints process.

So, I had the meeting with her this afternoon and she denied even doing it. She said, "I'm sorry, but I don't know what you're talking about. That didn't happen."

I have a meeting Monday with the Dean of the school. I also got 10 people from the class so far to sign saying that she did say that.

It would be one thing if she owned up to here mistake, people make mistakes all the time, but to try and deny it... to outright lie! My opinion of her keeps dropping.

In my opinion if you let her get away with this she will feel empowered to do it again. To run her little teritory (class) as she see's fit, regardless of acceptable professional and legal standards. She, in my opinion needs to be taught a little humility and that her job depends on her treating people kindly, fairly and honestly. If she ends up losing her job (probably unlikely at this point), that is the risk she took when she took her current stance.

Best of luck, I know challenging the institution can be difficult at best.

I'm so glad you got the 10 others to sign saying she did do what she is denying. She just keeps digging a bigger and bigger hole for herself. Not only was she wrong with what she did to you in class but now she is a lier too.

Good luck to you. (((HUGS)))

I am so sorry you had to go through that. I'm a student as well... If that happened to me I would have run out crying... I am so glad that you are sticking it to her. I cannot believe this has happened to you and that she would deny it. I hope you get her fired. A psychology teacher should know better.

I would have a lot of trouble staying in that class, but I hope you can stick it out and pass the class. Let me know if you need to talk about any of this. You have my support!

 

[Heather]

OMG! She really does have some nerve doesn't she? I agree with Nikki, "she keeps digging herself into a bigger and bigger hole and now she's a liar too".

I hope you nail her to the wall. You go girl:):tup:.
