Why Would A Pupil Say This About Me As A Teacher?
41 Answers
So in the beginning of 2020 before covid came I was working as a supply teacher in high schools, I now do primary teaching instead. Basically there was this one girl who I’d taught before and she was always very polite and pleasant to have as a student. She used to always say hi and this one particular day she asked me what class I was teaching after break and it just so happened it was a class she was in. She directed me to that classroom. During the lesson I noticed she was doing a lot more talking with her friends than working so I walked over in front of their desk and told them to get on and I picked up her work book to read and told her she needed to do more. She said she needed a new pen so I said she could get one from the from the front of class. As she got up I noticed she had rolled up her skirt to the point of it being way too short for school so I told her to put it back to the length allowed in school, which she did. After that nothing else happened. 3 days later I’m at home and I get a phone call from the agency I worked for saying that this girl had accused me of leaning right in her face and asking her to pull down her skirt (obviously making it sound sexual). I denied these claims and other pupils who was in the class also vouched for me, so nothing else came of it. I just can’t understand why someone would go to such lengths to accuse someone of something so serious when nothing of the sort ever happened. Especially when there was a class full of 29 witnesses?

My best bet is that the girl felt a sense of rejection when 'showing a bit of leg' only got a negative response from you (who she probably had a crush on up until then) rather than the positive one that she was hoping for.
However, as Wolf63 says, teenage girls are are species all on their own. I've had a 14-year-old girl tell me, in front of a full class, that she was going to engineer a situation where we were alone together and then say that I'd molested her. Why did she do it? Simply because I'd told her off for not doing her homework!

Anneasquith- of course I get that people are not always as nice as they first appear but in this case it just seemed so random, as I had taught her the year prior for 4 months straight when I was doing my training, then in the year I was working on supply I had taught her a couple of times, then this one day she reports me out of the blue
Barmaid- I have moved on, it just popped into my head this evening and I just was wondering if anybody could shed any potential light onto it if it has maybe happened to them or know someone who has had the same thing happen. I’m not at all concerned about it but I’m still a little curious as to the possible reasons why she may have done it
Anneasquith- so just because someone is a teenage girl that makes them sick in the head? As I’m not a female myself I don’t understand the psychology of a teenage girl as well as a woman does. When I was a teenager I would never dream to make such a crazy accusation against someone if it wasn’t true
