Clo dear, you know what you're doing in the classroom. Your colleagues and assessors agree. I suspect this man has certain issues and opinions about how things should be done. He knows you are new and believes he can intimidate you into doing things his way. Likely treats his wife and child the same way. Wearing his uniform to the meeting is his way of showing how important he thinks he is. Afterall, he's a gendarme and you're merely a teacher (you already know this but there is no such thing as merely a teacher). It's a subtle attempt at bullying you. Don't let him! Remember, he uses the toilet just like anyoneelse. I for one would have been proud to have had you for my son's teacher. He should count it a blessing his daughter has such a dedicated and caring one.
