I have noticed over the last couple of years that dd1's teacher isn't particularly friendly to me - much less so than to other parents. I have also noticed that at parent's evening she doesn't listen to what I have to say and rarely meets my eye, just launches into a very rehearsed sounding speech, sometimes about dd1 and sometimes about her experiences as a teacher, which although fascinating, aren't really what I am interested in during my rare 15 minute slot.
She is never particularly reassuring even though I have had a few worries about dd1's progress at school.
She made me feel a total idiot this morning when I asked if it would be possible to take a cake in for dd1's birthday on the 20th (they are rehearsing the school play all day so she won't be home until 3.30 then has to go to the performance at 5pm). She said no basically and that it was over the top and unnecessary.
I did take dd1 out for an hour last week to go to dd2's nativity play. The teacher was very unhappy about it and pointed out on three seperate occasions that it would be marked down as an unauthorised absence (which I knew about). Last week a girl in dd1's class took three days off to go to Eurodisney - she brought toys in and was encouraged by the teacher to talk about her trip.
Anyway, do you think this will affect dd1's education at all and, the 64 million dollar question, AM I BEING PARANOID

Does it matter if your child's teacher doesn't like you?
