AITA for sending my principal's email to a parent who threatened to complain about violating her rights?
I'm a fourth-grade teacher with a student on the spectrum. Generally, π he's high-functioning and π a π₯ π lot of that has to do with his "support aide" who's been with him since kindergarten. My student's support aide suggested that he spend less time with my student because he doesn't think he needs as much. I agreed.
I emailed the parents to discuss since π« the student does have an IEP which requires an aide. The thing is that both parents are divorced π and can't stand each other. I didn't want them in my classroom so I set-up a Zoom conference call. The call was for 30-minutes and was during MY lunch break so I could accommodate the both of them. Dad was on-time, mom was 15 minutes late. Dad and I already discussed the basics and π then reiterated what we discussed. Nothing could or was decided.
Mom had a fit that she wasn't on the call for π the first 15 minutes. π I explained she was late and πΎ I had to get back to my class. She told me that I should have rescheduled it to β an hour...
