homeschooling? She used to be very friendly, and come in to eat where I work every weekend. After I took my daughter out, she has been avoiding me and she asked me soon after if I worked every weekend, I told her yes, and now she hasn't been coming into the resteraunt on weekends. Why would she act like this. We parted on good terms. I thought. I gave her notice of me taking my daughter out and thanked her for all she had done. She is a Christian, so I don't understand why she is acting the way she is. Like I have the plague. Any ideas?

She wasn't in a Christian school, she was in a public school, that's why I took her out and decided to homeschool.

She might think that you feel she's an inferior teacher since you removed your daughter from her class to teach her yourself. I homeschool my children and some of the teachers at my church feel that way about me.

Very unprofessional on her part. If you feel your daughter can gain more at home, thru home schooling...more power to you! She probably didn't like the idea that you think you can do her job without all the college schooling she had to go thru. She is acting like an adolescent with a temper tantrum. Just go on and don't let it get to you. She will come around but for now, you kinda pee'd in her cereal and when the icky taste wears off, she'll be back for lunch. Then you can act more mature and say something just unexpected..like.."Well, it's been a long time. Glad you haven't forgotten us. What would you like for breakfast this time?" LOL~she'll never know the inside joke! *snicker snicker*

She may just be busy. She also may feel like you thought she wasn't doing a good job teaching your child since you pulled her out part way through the year. Even if you said it wasn't because of that, people tend to go on what's more common. If you are really concerned about this, talk to her about it. Reassure her that she had nothing to do with your decision to homeschool your daughter, and that you still enjoy seeing her and talking to her.

She may feel that you didn't think she was good enough to teach your child. If she is a friend or aquaintance, you might explain why you decided to home school. Did you, in fact, not approve of her? Teachers work very hard with kids and are often disappointed if he/she feels that have failed the child or the parent. Maybe you should clear this up with her if her opinion really matters to you. This has nothing to do with being a Christian...hurt feelings are hurt feelings.

Because teachers are people. It probably hurt her feelings that you took her daughter out of her class. Most of the time when someone starts their kids in public school and then takes them out it is because there is a problem. You might try talking to her she may think you are mad at her, but there may not be anything you can do. She is obviously mad at you for taking your daughter out of her class.

She probably just feels hurt and insecure about her teaching ability. Try to talk to her and reinforce the reasons you took your daughter out of school have nothing to do with her capability as a teacher. If she is truly a Christian, she will understand.

No matter what you tell her, I bet that she feels that you did it b/c of her teaching skills and she is going to feel hurt over that.
Teachers have no interest in kids that aren't their students. Your child is no longer her student, so that teacher/friendly/student type relationship has disappeared and don't expect it to come back. It may be very hard for her to find something in common with you now when the "common" factor before was her teaching your daughter.

She just took offense to your pulling your daughter out of her class, in her eyes it was taking a shot at her. I know you didn't mean it this way, but u know women. We get weird over stupid stuff like this.
Don't worry, you don't need people like this around you. Also as i am sure you know by now not everyone who calls themselves a Christian and goes to church follows all the rules, your xfriend is a example of this.

Why not ask her. You can only speculate as to why unless you ask her. My guess is she was against the decision you made. Homeschooling may have some advantages but, there are also many disadvantages to it. I hope you are dedicated to providing your child with the education she needs and immense her in the social experiences needed to be emotionally and academically at grade level expectations.

Maybe she's taken a personal affront to you pulling your kid out of her class and opting to home school. I would. You obviously decided you could do better, right? Maybe it hurt her feelings.(Sorry, but I don't get the whole home schooling thing.) Unless you were good friends with her, I wouldn't sweat it. I don't understand why being Christian has anything to do with it, though.
