Raging mum removes daughter from school trip after row with teacher

A raging mum has slammed her daughter's teacher after she arrived home in tears over an upcoming visit to a waterpark. Bryn, 9, had been looking forward to the visit with her friends until she learned that she had to be a buddy for another classmate.

Despite not getting on with the other child named Ben, the teacher told her that she had to ride next to him on the bus, eat lunch with him, and go on the rides with him. The mum was horrified to learn her daughter was the only child who had been given a buddy and told how she had been made to 'believe she was a bad person for not wanting to' spend the day with him.

In a Reddit post, she said the educator had a history of using her "soft-spoken, intelligent older daughter as a 'behavior buffer' for the naughty boys". According to the Mirror, she said: "It's clear to me that Ms. N is still too comfortable with enforcing archaic gender roles on her kids and forcing girls to do unpaid emotional labor for the sake of the boys."
