How to stop dad without hurt feelings?

Question

My dad is looking on being able to become speech coach of my school and a subsitute teacher.

My father is VERY old fasion.

He thought that students wore suits to schools, he thinks they all sit quietly and do their work.

He thinks i am a bad student cause i get mostly B's.

And he gets mad really easily and does not have good control over his temper or his actions when he's mad.

He tried to hit me while teaching me math and

last year when cleaning up with the speech team he grabbed girl by the arm because she didn't want to do what he asked.

The entire school is filled with druggies and kids a half step from juvie.

How do I get him to not do this without hurting his feelings?

Mind you, we have a pretty poor relationship.

This is really something he shouldn't do.

Answer 1

Since you two don't have a good relationship, I would let him learn for himself; I know this can be embarassing for you BUT it seems like he won't listen to you anyway.

On the other hand, you can try putting it another way. You could tell him that obviously his skills are beyond what the school can use, remind him of the incident with the speech event, and say the kids are ungrateful and he should consider a different school if he wants to teach etc. Make it like he's right and everyone else is wrong, and you know him so find a way to lie convincingly. hope this helps

Answer 2

Why are you worried about hurting his feelings? The man obviously has a rotten temper and shouldnt be teaching in the first place.  Someday he is going to grab the wrong student and land in jail for assault or out of a job.  Good Luck.
