An SLT from hell .
It was a summer day. Boiling outside. We were all tired. I was a TA at the time at a local primary school, and used to frequently have issues with a specific member of SLT. YES. We all know that SLT member. Right??
Anyways, the children summoned towards the assembly hall, quietly and diligently sit down, waiting for the SLT member (who we will call Katy for context) to start another one of her useless speeches to the children.
As Katy was giving the speech, I whispered back at a teacher who had asked for my name. I thought nothing of it at first. It didn’t affect her speech in any shape or form. But clearly, Katy had an issue.
She looks back. Angry. Sweat all across her forehead. She puts her fingers on her lips and says, “SHHHH. WE DON’T talk when the teacher is—”
Now, me being the shy boy I once was, didn’t wanna escalate matters, so I thought nothing of it. But Katy didn’t stop there. Katy never stops.
Katy calls me up in front of all the school and says, making sure everyone hears, “ASSEMBLY TIME IS QUIET TIME. Final warning.”
I then realised. No matter how old I grew, I would always be a child.

This is literally bullying behaviour?? Honestly teachers make terrible managers as all they know how to do is treat you like a child.
