A Florida mother sparked outrage after sharing a recorded conversation with her children’s school owner. The mother called Rock Springs Academy in Apopka, Florida, to regain access to her children’s ClassDojo, an online education support platform. After politely asking for help, the mother’s request is denied. The reason that was given was that she failed to speak to the owner during a routine pickup.
Mother of three @iamjasminecherie posted the recording on TikTok and captioned the video, “What Would You Do??” She also plastered the word #KAREN across the clip.
As the video unfolds, what could have been a simple request turns into a strange encounter.
After the owner of the school, identified as Nancy Schehr, and the mother exchange introductions, Schehr states, “Oh, you’re the one that doesn’t talk to me.”
@iamjasminecherie is confused and asks her what she means. Schehr replies, “Yes, last week or the other day in the lobby, when you didn’t even speak to me.”
The mother asks again, “So you removed my access because I didn’t talk to you?”
Schehr sharply replies, “Yeah, I did, actually.”
As @iamjasminecherie begins to explain her need for access again, the controlling owner talks over her and explains her petty reason for the revocation.
“People usually talk to me when they are in my school and in my lobby. But you didn’t,” Schehr says.
@iamjasminecherie questions why that matters, adding “especially if [her] children speak.” She argues that she should not be obligated to.
As the mother attempts to work through the absurd situation, Schehr replies in a condescending tone.
“Oh, so now you’re all talkative, huh?” she snapped.
@iamjasminecherie calls her out for taking the matter personally and tells her, “This still doesn’t justify revoking my access to my children at school.”
“Well, first of all, this is a private school, and I own it,” replies Schehr as she transforms into full Karen mode.
“And I can do whatever I want,” she continues.
She claims she felt the mother was rude for not speaking to her.
“I speak to you all the time, and the one day I don’t speak, you take it personally,” the mother replied. “You got in my face and waved your hand.”
As expected, Schehr denied getting too close to the mother, but then she is made aware that her responses and current conversation are being recorded.
The single mother attached a clip of her thoughts at the end of the video.
She noted how “controlling the owner sounded” and how her “interaction is limited with the staff at the school,” so she is unaware of where the animosity comes from.

The post is captioned with information that @blackhomeeducators received from the mother.
“Nancy Schehr, the owner of Rock Springs Academy at (2226 N Rock Springs Rd. Apopka FL 32712) and receptionist revoked my access to my children’s classroom at her school because I did not speak to her one day in person. I found out on a Friday
10/07/2022 that my access was revoked without any knowledge, preparation, or notification,” the caption read. “I contacted Rock Springs Academy by phone Monday morning 10/10/22. Nancy answered the phone and admitted that she revoked my access because she felt that was the only way to get my attention. She also stated that it was her school and she can give access to who she wants to and doesn’t want to and if I agree to be cordial with her than I can gain access to my children’s classes again. I have a video/ audio of the entire call. On September 21st I came into Rock Springs Academy (while recording) and presumed to sign my children out before heading to their classroom. As I am signing Nancy says hello, then stands in my face and waves her hand in front of my face trying to get my attention to provoke me. Ignore her as to I am uncomfortable and not sure what her next move will be.”
“I then get my children from their class and as we are walking out she just stares at me with a death look and says bye to everyone else’s children but mine, although my children says bye she did not return it,” it continues. “While speaking on the phone with Nancy on 10/10/2022 I asked her what I have done to make her have animosity towards me, she said I started it.”
The post also included the contact information for Rock Springs Academy.
Blavity reached out for a comment from Schehr, but all calls were being forwarded to voicemail.
