A teacher at Marsden State High School in Logan City, south of Brisbane, has come under scrutiny for reportedly adopting a feline persona in the classroom. Identifying herself as "Miss Purr," she has raised eyebrows among parents and students alike with her peculiar behavior. This includes wearing a cat ear headband, a lanyard inscribed with "purr," and allegedly hissing at students and licking the backs of their hands. The behavior has been described as unusual and concerning by the local community, leading to widespread discussion on social media.
Concerned parents have taken to Facebook to express their unease, with many sharing stories of their children's interactions with the teacher. One mother recounted an incident where her daughter was "made" to "purr" for a lolly, which has added to the growing list of grievances. Photos and videos of the teacher's behavior, published by The Courier-Mail, have further fueled the discussion. Some parents anticipate that the school will be inundated with complaints regarding the teacher's conduct.
“She … forces the children to call her Miss Purr and cat screeches and growls when they don’t listen,” a relative revealed.
The teacher's actions have reportedly confused and concerned many parents. Despite the uproar, the school has yet to publicly comment on the situation. News.com.au has reached out for a statement, but as of now, no official response has been made available. The lack of communication from the school has left many seeking answers.
“I myself would like answers, it all could be innocent as I know a lot of kids can be overly dramatic,” a relative stated, reflecting a sentiment shared by some who believe there could be explanations yet uncovered.
The incident at this Queensland high school highlights the challenges schools face in addressing unconventional behavior by educators. As discussions continue online and within the community, parents are eager for clarity on how such behaviors will be managed moving forward.
