Title: Unfair Treatment at Pre-K Drop-off

Hi everyone, I wanted to share a recent experience I’m feeling uneasy about. My daughter is in pre-k 4, and parents are allowed to walk their kids to class until 8:30. I arrived at 8:25, which is usually my routine, but was informed I couldn’t take her to class because it was past 8:30—despite that not being the case. I was carrying my newborn, so I couldn’t check my phone at that moment.

While I was waiting, I spoke with one of the school directors who was asking for feedback from parents through a survey, which took about 4-5 minutes. By the time I got back to my car, it was 8:31. To my surprise, I saw several staff members allowing other parents in. I needed to help my daughter with her belongings and chat with her teacher, yet I felt I was treated differently.

This isn’t the first time I’ve noticed inconsistency in how certain staff members interact with me compared to other parents. It’s disheartening, and I’m concerned about this unfair treatment. What would you do in my situation?

  1. It sounds like you’re dealing with a frustrating situation, and I can understand why you’d feel concerned about the perceived unfairness. Here are a few steps you might consider taking:

    1. Document Your Observations: Keep track of specific instances where you feel the treatment has been unequal. This will give you clear examples to refer to when discussing your concerns.

    2. Communicate with the School: Reach out to the school administration or your daughter’s teacher to express your concerns. Share your experiences calmly and factually, focusing on how it makes you and your daughter feel.

    3. Request a Meeting: If you feel comfortable, request a meeting with the director or principal. This can provide a more personal opportunity to discuss your concerns about the policies and any perceived bias.

    4. Talk to Other Parents: It might be helpful to discuss your experiences with other parents to see if they’ve had similar concerns. There’s strength in numbers, and a collective voice can have a greater impact.

    5. Stay engaged: Continue to be an active participant in your daughter’s school community. Building relationships with faculty and staff may help improve communication and understanding.

    Ultimately, it’s important to address your feelings and seek a resolution that works for you and your daughter. Good luck!
