Nosy Mother Stalks Her Kid's Teacher On Social Media, Gets Roasted

The invasive and rude parents have gotten to a point where they have no shame. Take, for instance, one mother that went by the name “Melissafent on the Hillifent” but has since deactivated her Twitter account. She recently learned who her son's 2nd-grade teacher was and did some light stalking to find out some reputation-ruining information about her. 

Wait…that was it? The cause of this woman's discontent is her son's teacher being fresh out of college, engaging in some light swearing in support of her favorite grocery store, and using internet slang to type on social media. This is truly a new level of delusion. 

A Twitter user named Dave reposted this tweet with the rhetorical caption, “why are all the teachers quitting???” This sparked a dialogue surrounding the invasive and overly critical tweet.

A woman named Cate was confused as to why this user was so dead-set on being a hater, saying, “Imagine seeing your kid’s teacher, the person who will spend the most time with them outside the home, and seeing them as an adversary to be torn asunder.”

Others were confounded by her complaint that this woman was a first-year teacher, claiming that first-year teachers were some of the most enthusiastic educators.

The idea of parents demanding purity from teachers was similarly criticized. One Twitter user said, “The idea that every aspect of a teacher’s life needs to be G rated has to be fairly new. My grandpa was a high school principal, and he’d get drunk as sh*t with his teacher friends. Who cares?”

If there's anything this situation teaches us, it's that we have way too much access to strangers online. The fact that we can hear someone's name, easily find their social media, and attempt to bring them down over harmless posts is ridiculous. Teachers are people too, and the endless dogpiling and criticism they face from parents is a huge part of the reason there's a teacher shortage.
