Okay I so(45F) have 3 kids. Ages 17,14 and 9. They’ve all gone to the same elementary school. My 14 year old is Tanara and my 9 year old is Tamyah. Tanara was diagnosed with cancer in 5 grade, her teacher at the time, Ms. M set up a fundraiser for her with some parents in her class. I was very thankful to her although I didn’t know her very well.
Anyways my younger daughter Tamyah has 2 best friends Aarschni and Katie, they’ve been friends since pre k. Aarschni has been staying with us for a few days while her mom is on a work trip. Earlier today I got a call from her mom asking if I could pick her up from school because she threw up. I did and when I got there Katie and Tamyah were with her and told me that they were walking back to class after getting something from the office and then Aarschni started throwing up in the hallway completely randomly. It happened to be right outside of Ms. M’s room.
Ms. M came out to yell at them about being quiet in the hallway and then immediately Katie and Tamyah asked her for help. Then she rolled her eyes, went inside her classroom and then came out, handed Katie a roll of paper towels and said she’d call the nurse and then walked right back to her classroom. They were shocked and stayed there and waited for the nurse. BTW none of them knew who ms. M was and just regarded her as “the 5th grade teacher”
When they told me this i immediately called Aarschni’s mother to ask if she wanted me to talk to the school about it and she said yes definitely and that she would call them later if I didn’t want to. But I went to the main office with Katie and Tamyah and reported what happened. The checked the security footage and showed it to me and sure enough what they said was true. Not even making sure she was okay. She just had 2 9 year olds attempt to clean up the other ones vomit while she cried.
They called the teacher down to the office immediately and I left. About an hour ago Ms M Facebook messaged me and told me that she has vomit phobia or something and couldn’t deal with it and said after all she’s done for my family it’s ridiculous that I reported her for some strangers kid. I also want to add that there’s 2 teachers in every classroom(she didn’t even tell the other teacher in the room) but if she really cared she could’ve asked the other teacher to go deal with it. I just think it’s unprofessional for someone choosing to work with little kids to let that happen, if she was a Highschool or even middle school teacher I’d feel differently but these are 9 year old kids and she’s an adult. Maybe I am an Ahole but even after I found out who she was I didn’t feel much remorse about informing the school. So AITA?
