An Ontario elementary school office administrator’s tearful plea to families has been shared widely after she described her experience of being yelled at, ignored, and blamed by parents upset with COVID-19 policies.

in which she shared how stressful her job has become during the pandemic.

Lascelle, who works at Viscount Alexander Public School in Cornwall, Ont., also pleaded with families for more understanding when they’re contacted by school staff about their children. “We wear many hats in the office and many times we work in the shadows going unnoticed. Be kind and be thankful that there is someone looking out for your child when you can't be there with them,” she said.

“I work with great teachers every day and I understand that they're struggling, but what is frustrating for us as the support staff is we have to do our jobs and be able to do our jobs for the teachers to be able to do theirs,” she told CTVNews.ca during a telephone interview on Wednesday.

What is she crying about, go to work wear your mask and be happy. I know it was a long holiday but time to get back to work.

fordnation Sflecce This is all your fault. Better planning, any planning would have prevented this unnecessary stress on education staff, families and students. Do better. It is yet too late. Getting close but this can be fixed.

How to turn school children into MASK MURDERERS Thing that KILL you without proper training. Hand grenades Firearms Motor vehicles Bicycles Medicine & FACE MASKS You can not give anyone of these items to children without instructing them on how to use them PROPERLY.

Can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.

So sad that parents frustrations are taken out on school staff. My heart goes out to the teachers,administrators,bus drivers,janitors,health care workers,and every other person doing their best to keep people safe.❤️

Open the schools.

Welcome to the health care world people feel they have the right to call you anything and say anything! Despite the rules being enforced on them as well! This has always happened and now COVId has made it worse! People are frustrated!

Awww suck it up. If you cant do your job move over there are lots of other folks who can jump in and do it. What did you honestly expect? Seriously when discussions were happening with schools opening back up what did you think would happen.

Enough. Mortality of SARS-CoV-2 / Covid-19 : Mark Woolhouse, a professor of infectious disease epidemiology at the University of Edinburgh:

Maybe go and protest to the authors of the idiocy? TOPublicHealth epdevilla PublicHealthON Seems more reasonable. Kids need school, it's VITAL to the most vulnerable so the admin staff will need to take the backseat.

Can you ask your kid whether you could yell at his teacher? Show your respect PLZ!

I feel for all school staff. It cannot be easy. Parents need to be more accepting, tolerant, respectful and patient. They are role modeling for their children and this is not a good example to model.

Oh come on. Try being. Service Canada rep who have been getting yelled at daily BEFORE covid and even worse during the pandemic.

We should find school administrators who can make decisions based on facts and science rather than emotions.

my personal experience is horrible with the TDSB office staff, pre-covid and during covid.. to better ,explain professionally rude, admin staff also need to friendly.

Swearing and yelling at school office staff? Really? Whether you agree with policies or not conduct yourself like a civilized adult for goodness sake. Throwing a tantrum certainly won't get you anywhere.

A good portion of the 18,000 'liking' her fb post are the same ones who think their kids are angels and deserve bespoke treatment. Everyone needs to use patience as these are unprecedented times. Perseverance folks.

unkhoolist At times like this, I believe it's appropriate for school administrators to tell idiot parents to go f*ck their hats.

Could always shut schools down so administrators don't have to go through the process of having to send kids with sniffles home.

I don’t know why you’re crying about all the kids seem to be acting like kids like regular it’s like you guys live in another dimension or maybe you should stop watch the media and actually concentrate on your own well-being
