Telling admin you're not comfortable teaching a student

Hey all, I'm looking for advice on how to appraoch this situation. I had a student file a false report about me. Thankfully admin happened to be in the room with me that day for a routine observation and the report was thrown out. It's worth noting this student is very well know for bad behaviour, and is known to admin. However in this report the student claimed there have been many instances of him having negative interactions with me. My school has internal cover, which means that we as teachers are randomly assigned classess to cover for our colleagues and while I do not teach him as a regular classroom teacher it is plausible for me to have him in cover lessons. Because of this false report I do not feel comfortable teaching this student, as in part of his report he got his friends to lie and back him up. I want to tell admin I do not feel comfortable teaching him for this reason. Is this a reasonable request or am I over reacting/ is there a different approach you would take? I'm very very new to teaching, so I know I need to develop a thick skin about this sort of thing, but also want to protect myself professionally. submitted by /u/Clillybee [link] [comments]
