I was going to ask if this was an inexperienced teacher. Maybe she needs more mentoring?

So, the cranky teacher was gone the Monday after the last time I posted. They said she had a family emergency. Today we got a letter saying that she isn’t coming back and they are moving another teacher in from another room. In one way, I’m relieved. But on the other hand, I hope they didn’t fire her rather than give her a chance to fix the problems! On the other hand, maybe I pissed her off so much she quit. On the other hand, what if she was cranky because she had an impending family disaster that finally “hit the fan”?

She likely had some personal problem that was causing her to be unusually cranky. I am also guessing you probably weren’t the only parent who complained.

Eh, I wouldn’t agonize over what she did or didn’t do. You appear to have reacted appropriately and proportionately, so I’d just be glad you don’t have to deal with her anymore. You cannot read the future, nor others’ minds, so as long as you don’t behave in a nasty or overbearing manner–and it sounds as if you did not–then you ought not worry about what you might or might not have caused. It’s certainly a good reminder to us that people may be affected by dire circumstances in our lives, but your daughter should have a good experience in school, too; she’s too little to bear the brunt of adult problems.

Hello.
I’ve had some terrible experiences with teachers growing up - one told me “why don’t you just crawl back into the hole you came from” in front of the whole class in high school - never forgot that one - I was just sitting there. I was a very introverted student, afraid to even speak, and to this day I don’t understand why she said that. I cried & cried.
Don’t know if I’m the best person to address your question, but I hope the “crankiness” isn’t approaching the level of verbal abuse. It warms my heart that you have these concerns for your daughter, that you care this much.

Tell the children to get used to crazy teachers. When they get older there will be crazy bosses, crazy co-workers, crazy customers, crazy neighbors.
And to think, some of these people actually have drivers licenses.

I had an absolutely terrible teacher when I was in middle school. She was openly sexist against the boys (she taught home ec) and I suspect maybe a tad racist after seeing her blow up at a minor misunderstanding she had with a black kid. Despite numerous complaints, nothing ever happened as she was the deans wife. We kond of just had to keep our heads down and hope she wouldn’t fail us
