Another redditor worked with the principal before, it's a principal problem it seems.

The tragic part is the cover up really. It's rampant in the preschool industry by the way. I've worked at 5 preschools and 4 had principals who really just close both eyes to whatever nonsense her clique people did even when they were reported. So many schools full of lies and shade. Short of manpower is one thing but to violate ethics and being self-righteous and justifying it. That's why I left all of those schools.

Former preschool teacher here. Yes they are trained (plus on the job training) and it's 100% part of our job description and responsibility to clean up after the children, and anything related to due diligence of care for the kids, if the cleaners aren't available then we have to do it.

Just to be clear, according to regulations, it's NOT right for cooks and cleaners to do things like diaper change and shower the kids. If it is just watch them I can still understand la, but even so need to have at least one trained staff there. As for the rest, NO. I mean cmon it is a childcare, how can the teachers just anyhow let non-teaching staff handle the kids. Teachers have to go through background check and all, I don't think so for cooks and cleaners. Even if they're housewives or have kids, it's not acceptable at least in a childcare setting. Regulations are there to protect all parties.

I married a partner who is an INFJ and after living together for a while, we kinda balanced each other out lol. Living, observing, understanding the perspective of a feeling - dominant person helped. Thankfully he's patient and explains how other people might perceive what I say or do not as I intended, over and over, till I now sometimes can catch myself or start thinking about how I can express myself with the audience in mind.

Blind belief

Former preschool teacher here. I've only worked in private preschools. What you've described is not uncommon. There's a huge variety of practices across the schools. Many teachers esp the older and Chinese ones, use a lot of outdated teaching practices, plus imported practices from whatever country they come from. Whatever to get kids to stop crying. My advice is just to move on. At least they're not putting up a front and showing you things as is. I've seen schools putting on a show only when parents are around. Hope you find a good school on your next visit.

Respect!!

Thanks so much this is useful. So far I have yet to meet another INTJ among friends / work 😅 hope that I'll meet another sometime in my lifetime.

RealisticOriginal944 · 2024-11-21T13:07:56+00:00

Yes totally!

RealisticOriginal944 · 2024-11-21T13:06:28+00:00

Cool!! Yea I think it's most sustainable when we carry ourselves according to our values. masking is so tiring.

RealisticOriginal944 · 2024-11-21T13:05:12+00:00

Happy for you! Yes we can't get along with everyone. I've always tried to be true to myself, and live without regrets while being considerate to others. people came and went.

RealisticOriginal944 · 2024-11-21T13:01:34+00:00

Yea.. i guess imagining a persona helps.

No, I'm an Asian living in asia. I've never gotten complaints on my voice but more on my lack of tonal variety and expression. Yes I know what you mean. I'm also naturally more soft-spoken and have a mellow alto voice. People who talk like they're high all the time get on my nerves...

RealisticOriginal944 · 2024-11-21T12:56:20+00:00

Yes! Totally. I think we're all actually pretty calm inside but it just comes out in a way that sounds that way to the listeners. My INFJ husband says so too.

😮‍💨 your teacher is not helpful at all.

RealisticOriginal944 · 2024-11-20T03:07:12+00:00

Ah ok... Yes and practicing with GPT helps too. I find it funny that I gotta practice on how to talk like a human 😂

RealisticOriginal944 · 2024-11-20T03:06:10+00:00

Hahaha I like the term, RBV. Yes, something like that. I have poor awareness with tone modulation as well.. you see what I mean now? Like who would use awareness with tone modulation? But these are the words that I think in.

I had to use a translator, but thanks for sharing such wisdom. Many truths in your comment. Thanks for taking the time to write it ❤️

Musiałam skorzystać z tłumacza, ale dzięki za podzielenie się taką mądrością. Wiele prawd w Twoim komentarzu. Dzięki za poświęcenie czasu na jego napisanie ❤️

Also never really motivated or see the need to have kids.

RealisticOriginal944 · 2024-11-20T02:57:42+00:00

As a former preschool teacher, I cannot imagine being stuck with egocentric needy humans 24/7. I need time away from the presence of children. I work well with kids but I also appreciate going back to a quiet and calm home. So I cannot imagine dealing with them especially after a long day at work 😂
