And this teacher also conducts educational seminars.
If you cannot convince with a word – use force, suppress with power. It seems that the teacher Olga Alferova from the St. Petersburg school with the affectionate name “Bereginya” brings up children according to this principle.
The teacher decided to teach the naughty second grader Lesha a lesson. With a ballpoint pen she wrote the word “fool” on the boy’s forehead, giving his classmates a reason for fun.
“Fool, fool!” – the children giggled, poking a finger at Lesha.
The teacher from the school saved the second graders from harassment – she helped the boy wipe the shameful inscription from his forehead.
Lesha was so depressed and ashamed that even his parents did not dare to tell about what had happened, until a few days later the mother of one of his classmates made a fuss. I told everything to the boy’s parents. Lesha’s mother did not let the conflict go down on the brakes. I went to school to sort it out, and at the same time sent complaints to the Ministry of Education and the prosecutor’s office.
The teacher later said: before grabbing the handle, she warned Lesha, reports It turns out that the teacher was annoyed that the children painted their hands with felt-tip pens during recess. She threatened: whoever gets a tattoo again, she will write “fool” on his forehead. And the next day I again caught Lesha and his friends with felt-tip pens. The teacher remained true to her word. True, only Lesha made the scapegoat. Now the boy will have to seriously try to get rid of the new nickname, which he received with the light hand of the teacher.
Meanwhile, Olga Alferova, as it turned out, has not only been teaching at school for 20 years, but also reads online lectures on raising children. So, on the Internet you can find her video seminar “How to seat children with behavioral problems in the classroom.” The participants of the seminar clearly did not know that Alferova herself had behavioral problems.
The teacher is also engaged in tutoring. Her rating on profi.ru is 4,6 points. In addition to a teacher’s diploma, Alferova has a second higher education. She is a social work specialist. But, apparently, Alferova did not listen to lectures on psychology and social pedagogy very attentively.
They say that before there were no special complaints about the teacher. Although parents admit: she is a person of mood. After that, is it possible to talk about professionalism if the teacher brings his bad mood to work, and even more so to children?
“The most important phenomenon in school, the most instructive subject, the most living example for the student is the teacher himself,” Olga writes on a page on a social network for educators. A sad, I must say, an example came out.
Without waiting for further proceedings, Alferova has already filed a letter of resignation. However, the parents of Lesha’s classmates suddenly stood up for the teacher – they came to school, demanding the return of the teacher. Say, the act, of course, is wild, but Alferova herself is kind, albeit impulsive. I wonder how the parents would have started talking if, during the next impulse, the teacher wrote “fool” on the forehead of one of their children?
If your child has problems with peers, give advice on how to solve them. If there is a conflict with the teacher, go to school and sort it out personally. At the same time, it is important not to forget about the child himself. Why didn’t this boy turn to his parents right away? This is also a serious question. Now, more than ever, support is important for him, he needs to show that he is not alone, but at the same time not focus on what happened. And classmates, seeing that the parents stood up for the boy, will not persecute him. They will feel a power to be respected.
