Potential

Try this again. I had a trying day. We had another incident at work with a staff person who I think is abusive. she does not see it that way. Not everyone does. I think I can speak to this because I used to be just like her. I was badly mothered and had no idea how to take care of children or be respectful of them. I did some damage in the past. I had a lot of people who helped me get to the other side of that and learn not only how to be kinder to children but to myself as well.
And I was willing at some point to learn how to be different.
I don't think she's there yet.

She is not going to be fired. she is going to be moved to a different school. This reminds me of what the Catholic church does/did. Firing her could be the kindest thing we do for her and for the children. Maybe it will help her to realize what she is doing. But that is unlikely to happen yet.

I am torn. she may be a good teacher someday. But whose kids does she get to practise on?
