Teacher Stops Social Worker And Berates Them For Not Wearing A School Uniform

OP, a Youth Worker, supports young people aged 13 to 18 in Out of Home Care, often due to being removed from abusive parents. A client struggling with anxiety around school requested OP’s company to class. While walking, a teacher mistook OP, dressed youthfully for better rapport, as a student. The teacher loudly criticized OP’s attire and threatened detention, disregarding explanations. Frustrated but composed, OP asserted not being a student, prompting the teacher to insist OP leave the premises. In frustration, the client shouted that OP was her carer, exposing the truth. The teacher was embarrassed as students watched. Despite the embarrassment, the client’s outburst garnered peer support due to the teacher’s poor behavior. The client was later reminded about appropriate language at school but faced no punishment. This incident humorously resembled the classic “I don’t work here” scenario, transformed into an “I don’t go here” situation which made it more interesting.
