A mother has waged a war against the ‘unprofessional’ and ‘corrupt’ staff at her son’s primary school following the appalling act of a teacher.
The American mother was shocked when she walked in one day to collect her son and found the grades for each child displayed on a notice board.
She immediately thought the action was excessive and shameful, so she went to the principal about the problem – not knowing that her complaint would get her permanently banned from school grounds.
“I was completely blown away,” she said on Reddit. ‘So I went ahead and took my son’s grades from the notice board myself.
‘Later that evening the principal emailed me with a restricted access letter informing me that I was no longer allowed on school grounds and that the papers I removed were confidential and private school records.’

The mother pushed back at the retaliation, arguing that if the information was in fact ‘confidential’ it should not have been published for all to see.
‘(The headmaster) never sent me back even though we had to arrange a meeting to discuss the issue. The meeting never took place because she didn’t respond to my emails.’
After a few days, the mother thought the problem had resolved itself – only to be enraged the next time she set foot on school grounds.
‘My son had a performance last week. He has been so excited about the show and has been telling me not to forget it since they started rehearsing.
‘I arrive at the school and was stopped right at the door by the headmaster and deputy headmaster. They told me that I am not allowed to enter the auditorium to watch my son perform and that they would record it and send it to me.’
The mother saw red at their cruel behavior and revealed that her son had been in tears because she missed his performance.
She has tried to contact staff about the situation, but to no avail.
“This school is run by unprofessional, corrupt staff and I am considering pulling both my sons out after this year,” she said.
Many criticized the school’s behavior in the same way.
“You need to go to the scorched earth if this can’t be resolved amicably. The principal’s immediate escalation was ridiculous,” said one.
‘This is completely unacceptable and is no longer in line with current standards of teaching. We try not to use shame anymore even though it used to be very common back then,’ wrote another.
‘I worked with a high school teacher who had a ‘Wall of Shame’ notice board outside her classroom. She published the students’ failed work. It was taken down, but not fast enough. She was a nasty piece of work,’ one man said.
