So our youngest child started kindergarten yesterday. We're zoned to a wonderful school, and our oldest has had a fantastic experience there so far.
Before the start of the term, we got our class assignment for our youngest and, as people our age do, we looked up the teacher to see their background. What we found is concerning, but I'm wondering if we're overreacting.
Essentially, this teacher has set up multiple profiles on one of the main platforms, with many of the posts across each being completely incoherent rambling about religion (some of which are pretty out there but to each their own). Add to that, interactions are almost totally confined to them interacting with themselves on the platform (across accounts). It's incredibly bizarre. They removed many of the most eye-raising posts over the weekend, but I have screenshots. Liking each post from the other account with almost systematic regularity makes me worry for their wellbeing.
The teacher is new to the school and no one really knows them. We have considered asking for our child to be moved to another class out of concern, but I don't want to overreact. I also just genuinely feel bad for the teacher, because based on the posts described, they seem sad. We have always strived to be the type of supportive parents to our kids' teachers (volunteering, expressing appreciation, etc), and I hate the thought of being a 'concerned parent.'
What would you do?
