so no slagging off teachers in general please. We are human!
Just wanted to moan about a particular old bag who teaches ds1. He's a bright enough lad and always does well in literacy tests etc (for what that's worth) but she has completely undermined his confidence entirely by concentrating solely on his handwriting (which is rubbish we admit. ) He's worked really hard to improve it but she doesn't seem to acknowledge that. Last night we had a parents meeting and looking at his books every single piece of work she had marked criticised his presentation with not a single positive comment on the content or ideas throughout. He now feels he is rubbish at everything he does and seeing his books last night made me understand why.
I asked dragon teacher in as positive and smiley way as I could to praise the good bits a bit more and to her credit she said point taken but I'm still seething.
Being on the other side of the table at parents meetings is harder than I thought...
