The Teacher Who Didn’t Know Compassion

My daughter came home from preschool soaked in urine, and her teacher brushed it off as an “accident.” At a meeting the next day, the director showed photos of Isla outside in wet pants and claimed she never told anyone. But Isla is outspoken, and the story didn’t add up.
I noticed they’d changed her shirt in the photos but not her pants. The director quietly admitted there had been complaints about Miss Jenkins before. That night I posted in a parents’ group, and multiple families shared similar issues with her. The school put Miss Jenkins on leave.
Later, a former assistant, Miss Ava, told me Isla had repeatedly asked to use the bathroom, but Jenkins refused, then wouldn’t let Ava give her clean pants afterward, saying it would “teach her a lesson.” Ava had reported it but was pressured to quit.
I compiled everything—parents’ messages, notes, Ava’s account—and sent it to the board and licensing. Within two days, the board fired Miss Jenkins and rewrote their accident policy. They offered free tuition if we stayed.
I declined.
