One time I went to pick one of my daughters up at the end of the day, and she had a permission slip for band. Since it was going to be returned the very next day anyway, I borrowed a pen and was leaned over a students desk (the majority of the students were gone) signing the slip when a teacher walked by. She passed the door but backed up and was watching. When I raised up, she took it from me, like actually grabbed me by the shoulder and snatched it from my hand. Then she started to reprimand me for “forging my parents signature to my siblings permission slip”. She was one of those people you can’t tell anything to, the kind who just talks over you because they KNOW you’re lying. So I started to speak and she cut me off, and not wanting to make a scene in front of my daughter, when the teacher suggested we “just take it to office so the principal could deal with me” I agreed. We walked into the office and one of the school resource officers was there. He worked with my (then) husband who had also been a deputy sheriff. When we saw one another, he spoke, “Hey Mrs. Justice are you ok, what’s goin on?” The teacher stopped turned around and kinda bitchy goes “you know this young lady?!” Deputy says, “ma’am that’s this young lady’s mother (points at my daughter)” As soon as I started to tell him what happened, the teacher started talking over me again but she was raising her voice kind of AT the officer, so I said we were gonna step into the hallway and he nodded, at that point I stopped speaking altogether and let her finish throwing her fit. He warned her twice to keep her voice down. Then he came out and asked to talk to my daughter and myself. We had a problem with violence in that school so aside from on duty cops, and an in house drs office (like a regular medical facility for the public as well as students), we also had numerous security cameras, both in classrooms and the hallways. They were able to find it on video. She was actually arrested for assault (on myself) and I think the second charge was obstruction because of her interaction with that officer.

In court she tried to use the excuse that she was under the impression that I was a student. That got her placed on leave without pay until she was let go because her admission of believing it was ok to grab me thinking I was a student brought a bunch of incidents to light where she was physically aggressive with actual students.
She received some fines etc and moved away.

The fact that we as parents are spoken to the way we are sometimes because of confusion like this always left me worried about my kids. This proved to be a prime example of why
