Friday my 8yr old daughter came home from school and told me the librarian (during media center) asked her name then told her to go sit at the very back of the media center at a table pretty much away from the entire class as she accused her of coming home and “telling lies” on her the week prior. My daughter said the librarian then stands and makes an announcement to the entire class that is going forward, if anyone decides they want to go home and tell lies to their parents on her, then she will separate them, and they will sit alone for the period. I assume she says this because the week prior I messaged my child’s actual teacher and asked about clarity on a situation that my child said took place with other kids while in Media Center that day…the teacher told me she wasn’t aware of the situation but would find out more and let me know. Apparently, she went and spoke with the library teacher, so the librarian felt justified in approaching my daughter. Am I overreacting that I want a meeting with the principal and librarian and also that I want her to apologize to my daughter in front of the class just like she called her out/humiliated her? What would you guys do? Help mommas!
I don’t know if you’re speaking of a Public Library or a School Library. At any case time for you to Show Up and have a conversation with Her Superior.
You’re handling it the way I would
I would do the same thing. There is no excuse for that kind of behavior.
Not overreacting, this warrants a meeting with the principal and librarian. In no way should your child be shunned like this.
Meeting , I’d be right in that library
You are your child’s best advocate. I would definitely talk to the Principal. My thought is that there is way more going on with this Librarian than you know about.
Not overreacting, call her out again. Go to principal and then stand there during library while she apologizes
Fucc yeah
Call that bitch out!!
YOUR THE MOM
TAKE FUCCN CONTROL ALV!!
Poor kid damn
I’d demand a meeting and accuse the teacher of being an immature bully.
I’d get I’m on the phone to speak with the principal and request a meeting with these teachers. Not handled correctly at all!
Yes a meeting is in order. Absolutely. You aren’t overreacting she is out of line.
I would do what you are doing. I would want a meeting also and demand she apologized to my daughter.
Id definatly be talking to the principle and make them do something about this
Calmly ask for a meeting. Calmly meet with them and yes she should apologize because at this point it can change your child’s outlook on school all together! Good luck!
Have a meeting with the principal- as a parent you have the right. There’s no valid reason for her to single out your baby that way. She’s an adult and if she has a problem she could speak to you, the teacher, or principal.
Meeting with principal and the librarian. Be prepared to hear that your child lied again. Come with documents of what your child said happened and when.
I don’t even have words for this! Poor child!
Oh hell no! You go to the principal and the school board if necessary. This person is intimidating children and teaching them not to confide in their parents. What is she trying to hide? If she has a problem she needs not discuss it with you, not bully your child. I’d demand her resignation
You are not overreacting. Meet with the principal.
Child abuse and bullying. I would make a police report and take it to the school principal or superior. This person is not fit for this job.
I would meet with her first and then the principal if i dont feel justified
And btw though I’m not accusing said librarian this is what sexual predators do to control their victims
I dont blame u a bit. U need to take care if this situation now. Meet with the principal. It is ur right. That imo is a form of bullying and has no place in any classroom or anywhere else. But also b aware that the librarian has probably already has an excuse made up. Dealing with schools is hard. I have had my own experiences both good and bad. I hope and pray ur school is a good one and this is resolved soon and with minimal impact on ur child
I had a teacher do that once with my baby the exact scenario. Let’s say I didnt keep my cool I warned her about ever using my baby as an example and calling her out. It never happened again.
The principal,the teacher and if no satisfaction report thr incident in detail to the education department.
No you’re definitely not over reacting. I say do it but also tell them you don’t want your daughter near her anymore.
That is absolutely unprofessional. Wrong and not her place at all!!! She needs to be suspended and I would not at all back down momma. Were the only voice they have. She should never have reacted that way.
I would go to the principal but I’d also go straight to her before then to. That’s absolutely ridiculous.
I would go to the school and demand a sit down right then and there
Not out of like at all the teachers behaviour was unprofessional to say the least
You are not overreacting. I would do the same.
Ask some of your daughters friends in that class what they think happened. Then march on down to the school and have a talk with the lady and keep going up the chain till you get it resolved
I would meet with her and the principal and I would demand she apologize to your daughter in front of the entire class. Then she should be sent to the “ separation “ table and made to sit there the entire length of the period!!!
Go to the Principal!
8 years old, uncalled for on teachers part.
You might make sure the kid is not lying first. If not, then confront the principal about it first.
The Librian would have the opportunity to meet me, in person. See if she’s running that same game afterwards.
I’d be at that school asking
That is a very immature adult! I had to pull my daughter out of her fourth grade class because the teacher constantly singled her out. Life is tough enough. Children don’t need to deal with mean adults. There will be plenty of them to deal with when she’s older. Do whatever it takes to stick up for her now. It’s your job as a parent.
I don’t think you are over reacting at all. I would meet with the principal and the librarian. I would also ask the librarian why she thinks it’s okay to act childish and punish your daughter for telling you what happened, isn’t that what kids are supposed to do? Bullies at school are not always kid’s, they are teacher’s also. I would tell her too, that she will not be making my child sit in the back by herself anymore. Your daughter has every right to discuss what happens with anyone at the school.
I’d get that meeting n state what you did out of concern talking to teacher about issues is your right as mom ! Then I’d say to librarian she’s in the wrong n should’ve contacted you not EMBARASS N BELITTLE any child in front of class !! BULLYING FROM LIBRARIAN. Shows ignorance n bad bad examples!! Yep I’d be little ticked off
Oh, I would make sure the librarian was in serious trouble for bullying my child!! 
I think some of these suggestions are taking it a little overboard. The reason that I say this is that I had a similar situation with my own child when he was around 11 or 12. He told me something that the teacher said and I was furious. Ran straight to the principal’s office and demanded answers. Afterwards, I received a nice message from his teacher explaining what she had actually said in class. Well I had to eat crow because my son, while he didn’t lie, he also didn’t use the exact words of the teacher. He repeated it in words of his own choosing and I took them as literally what the teacher said. After I spoke with his teacher, I then realized that he hadn’t told me exactly what she said, he told me how he interpreted it. There was a big difference.
Go to principle or even the school board if necessary. Teachers should NEVER be allowed to be a bully.
Uhh no Mam you are not overreacting. I would have a meeting with the Principal. The Librarian has no right to publicly humiliate your child at make it k own to the whole class what is happening. The librarian should get in trouble for even dong this.
Nope! You’re Mom!! GO HARD FOR YOUR KID!!
I had a problem with a teacher & went to the principal. Next day teacher tells the class they couldn’t have cake anymore because of my daughter. I went into the principal office that same day I told her that I will be here everyday if that’s what it took but I was not going to allow my daughter to be bullied. The anger was very visible in my face & tone.
I never had a problem with that teacher again.
A few years later another mom went to the class wanting to beat that teacher up. They transferred her after that. Talk to the principal & the district if need be.
Even IF…and not accusing but have seen some say the Librarian can say your child lied, she still handled it wrong. IF a child lies you get the parent and child into school not bully the kid!! Librarian would be getting her ass kicked!!
I’d probably drop it for now. I’d keep a record of when it happened and stow it away. Then I’d explain to your daughter, you’re ‘sorry this happened to you. Sometimes adults say and do things that are hurtful. You go there once a week. If it happens again tell me.’ Then drop it. To me it’s to much for me to get to worked up over. Also maybe ask other parents you know what they’ve heard and what their kids say. My advice is hold off… for now.
I’d take it to the principal and let them know that if this Librarian doesn’t stop and apologize, you’ll go to the board with it. Find out if they have camera’s in the library also. Fight for your kid because this person is singling out your child. A clear message needs to be sent to the staff there, it’s not going to be tolerated.
Go talk to her and the principle tell principle to ask all the students what she said …
No you demand a sitdown
Thats basically bullying if she had a problem she shouldve asked for a sitdown herself not alienate your daughter, thats wrong!
You got this MOMMA 
I would most assuredly straighten that BS out
I agree with you, have the meeting and have the librarian apologize to your daughter.
I use to hate being singled out and put back in the room for speaking up!!
This is clearly bullying by the librarian!!
You need a meeting with this librarian and principle asap.
Yes, I’d request the meeting and cc superintendent of the district to ensure it’s not squashed internally but handled appropriately.
Nope you get that meeting and demand an apology!!!
The libaraian needs to grow up and def be reprimanded. Even if the said child lied, you dont then announce to the whole world some bullshit and single out the child. She works w kids and should know that shit happens. Its also natural that kids leave out details or misconstrue things while telling about an incident. Doesnt mean they are lying.
Oh no… we having a parent, teacher, librarian, principal and whom ever conference. With a quickness. And she owes your child an apology. Even if your child did something wrong, she handled it inappropriately. Actually she owes the whole class one for bullying them by threatening them. Because now she can be a B and they will be scared to tell. Nope, nope and nope.
No, you aren’t feeling over reacting. She’s being very unprofessional! Picking on a kid! Roast her ass, momma.
If it were me I would be getting ahold of that librarian and getting exactly what was going on.
Your daughter is 8 years old and is facing this librarian regularly? That’s outrageous behavior from a person in a position of forming a child’s life! Forget the principal, go to the superintendent of your school district and I would demand she be fired!!! She has NO business with small children!!! She needs to have her “bun” loosened!!
What I should is go to.the school and ask to speak with the principal explain the situation to him or her. I believe the librarian handled this wrongly.if it’s not handled to your specification contact the school board. Good luck
I would have that meeting ASAP!! That librarian has no right to treat a child like that. I would definitely call the principal and tell her/him you want a parent teacher conference w principal there. I work at a middle school, our teachers would never get away with that. It’s bullying a child. Stick up for your daughter, your doing the right thing!
No have a parent teacher conference and get the superintendent involved. That librarian pulled a very unprofessional move and bullied a child.
Hell noooo your not wrong. I went through same situation. The teacher instead if answering me got confrontational with my child and told him he was a liar in his face. Let’s just say by the end he was placed in a different class and she is no longer teaching there.
Oh you jump on that no adult gets to shame a child for speaking to their parents ever. No adult gets to punish a child for telling on them, that’s what predators do. I would be livid and that librarian would be lucky if she didn’t get her school sued, damn bully
I’d be talking to principal. That’s damaging shit.
Call the librarian for clarification. As a teacher, I can’t stand this crap. Go straight to the source, ask your questions, and quit relying on an 8-year-old to answer all your questions and concerns. If the librarian cannot help you, THEN ask to meet with the principal.
NO you’re not over reacting. The librarian was out of line calling your daughter out for something something like that. It was a childish and mean and meant to intimidate the kids. Don’t let her do this. Need to have a conference with the librarian, teacher and the principal without your daughter there to get to the bottom of this
When my daughter was 8-10 years old, she was a habitual liar. She would be so convincing and turn on the waterworks everytime she was confronted. She would even get caught in a bold faced lie and she would still continue to lie about it. Like, wtf? Are you fucking serious? You better find out for sure if your kid is lying or making a mountain out of a molehill and/or leaving out very important facts before you storm in demanding shit. I did that once and, boy, did I ever look like a dumbass! Do your detective work first.
Meet the librarian and sort it out
Child doens deserve this
Id go talk to the lady my self be nice to get to the libary then have a chat:smiling_imp:
Oh hell no. I’d talk to everyone about this. Go above their heads if nothing is done. That librarian need to be talked to.
Totally on your side, mama.
I had a similar experience with my son in year 2 (infants) many years ago, he’s now 28, I spoke to the head, put it in writing, she had humiliated, ridiculed and goaded the other children against him!!! I threatened to get in touch with the local education council. Today I would of, I was a young mum. She didn’t bargain for a 7 year old coming home and telling me what had gone on. I sat on it for a few days, thinking it over befor I did anything. It happened on a Monday, I spoke to the head on the Friday, saw the teacher on the Monday n she was grovelling to me, begging me not to go to the local education authority!!! It still angers me to this day!!!
Your doing the right thing. You should also ask for the classroom teacher you talked to to join the meeting.
Umm, she bullied her… hell no you aren’t overreacting. Get to that school.
Librarian definitely sounds immature and is wrong to do this. I’d be wanting a meeting set up to.
Why haven’t you already spoken to the librarian?
I would not accept this type of behavior toward my child. You are her mother & her protector. My God protect her. Allow no one to degrade or abuse your child.
Go like yesterday. The librarian is dead wrong. If the child had done that person wrong they would have gone to the principal real fast.You would have been called in real fast. No you are not overreacting. That is bullying ,not only her an entire class. That librarian should be removed because that is not the end of that behavior.Good for the child to go and tell an adult what is happening.
No wonder you end up with angry students and school shootings. Nip this in the bud real fast.Some might not have told their parents or other adults
Keep an open mind that the kid could be lying including on this but you are welcome to ask for a meeting.
Lord no I would want a meeting the whole city. This is not discipline on the librarians part this is a form of bullying and should not be tolerated
I would change my daughter out of her class. I had a meeting over a teacher recording my daughter and other students on her cell phone and threatening to show the parents the video of how they miss behave. When I had the meeting the principal,teacher, consular, aid all where there and started talking about how good of a student my daughter was. So I told them I wasn’t here to hear about how my my daughter was doing in school. But to a dress the teacher actions. The principal then lied of how she checks in everyday on the kids, which is a a lie because I had gone a day before and she was out the whole day. I continued and told them that I was there cause the teacher shouldn’t be recording the kids and threatening them. The principal and staff ignored what I said and leapt talking about how good of a student my daughter was. I got up cused them all out and told them to have a fn wonderful day. A teacher is an adult that shouldn’t be acting like a child and picking on a kid… You would be surprised if how many teachers throw tantrums and lower themselves. There’s good and bad workers everywhere. I give credit to those teachers who are good teachers to our kids and act professional…thankyou to those teachers
I know you have every right to have a parents meeting and I would demand that you talk to that librarian I would bring the principal and superintendent sent on it because she did nothing but bully your child I hope they do something for you
I know they won’t make her do that, but absolutely. Get that bitch in the office with the principal, maybe she has a record of this disrespectful behavior.
Take it to the principal and ask fit the bullying of a child be addressed and added to the librarians file. Also from experience with crap teachers, they only bully if they were in the wrong. Why else feel the need to make an announcement or punish the child? If the librarian was a good person she wouldn’t have reacted that way. Keep that in mind. If the principal doesn’t do anything go to the superintendent.
I would of just went school next day and talked to librarian myself and probably end up in jail but would be worth it to show my child people have no right to act like sssholes and get away with it
You did the right thing, she’s a child if she had an issue then she should’ve brought it to your attention not emotionally abuse a child…she better be glad it wasn’t my child
Dangerous like Trump.Snip in butt.
the librarian. That’s segration, and the school system not having it. Good 
bad teacher. Now she’s segrated from the beautiful children. Amen…
The librarian should apologize to your daughter in front of her classmates and you as parent should go to the principal and tell her/him what happened- you should have a meeting as soon as possible.
