A preschool teacher confessed on Facebook recently on how she would use various ways to teach her children a “lesson”. This would happen normally when the children makes the teacher mad. She said she would even think about strangling or slapping them as well.
Here is the full Facebook post.
I feel bad writing this. Yet I know someday I’ll do it again. I know the children are innocent. Yet when they cross me and make me mad…you know how some mothers lose control and whack their children till land up in hospital?
I’m a preschool teacher. Not a glamor job obviously. I thought I like children….but the stress everyday, not only from those kids and poop and pee but the parents…sometimes I don’t feel like going to sch. Pay is pathetic, but at least its a relatively stable job. Parents nowadays treat their children like little kings and queens, and expect (or demand) teachers do the same.
I’m writing this because hopefully it’ll make me feel better. Maybe not. Idk. When they make me so angry and frustrated, sometimes I feel like strangling or slapping them. This is not allowed of cos. But if I don’t do something to teach them a lesson I think I’ll explode, especially if I’m already in a bad mood. Shower time is the best. Spray more water on them, in their eyes, mouths, to make them cry, teach them a lesson to behave. Wash their heads hard, let the soap drip into their eyes. Again they cry, teach them a lesson.
Once I grabbed a spoilt brat by the collar when no one’s looking, but managed to control myself. Other times I feel like slapping or spanking them, again managed to control myself. I don’t want to lose my job. I’ve friends, former course mates, who are like me, depressed, disillusioned, stuck, on the edge. Reaching the limit of our self-control in face of daily provocations. Doesn’t matter if they’re branded or neighbourhood preschools. It’s a thankless job.
Easier to teach the younger ones a lesson. They can’t really speak yet. Better still, the new ones. To teach them to quickly behave if not there’ll be worse. If they cry non-stop or seem terrified, parents’ll just think they’re still adjusting to sch life. Yes cctv in sch, but blind spots are everywhere
I thought I like children, but well…….
Am I feeling better now? Idk….
