DS has just started year 5, and he has two class teachers. OOne of them does two full days, the other does one full day, and the other two days they share.
I was a little uneasy about this to start with, but decided to just leave the teachers to do their job, as I am generally very happy with the school.
This morning I asked ds what it was like having two teachers and if he liked it, and he said it 'was ok, but a bit annoying when they swop in the middle of a lesson'. I pressed him on it, and he said that during PSHE yesterday they didn't get much work done because one teacher explained their work so they did a bit, then she left and the other teacher joined them. They had to talk again about the work they had to do to help her, even though the children knew, so they didn't have time to finish.
I realise my ds doesn't always explain things particularly well, so I'm guessing that this is more his interpretation of what happened than what actually did happen.
There is a parents welcome evening tonight, and I'm thinkng about asking the head about it, or the teachers themselves. What would you do and how would you present it?
