I have placed a thread here before about this but the saga continues.
In Jan my dd(who is in reception) was still getting picture books I asked why and teacher said she cannot match character names with characters. She had been able to do this since September at home. The teacher said she cannot do it in school. The day after she got a note saying she can do it and she got a book with words. Spoke to the teacher said I was concerned why she could not do this in school when she does it at home really well. I asked what is she like in class in she worried about something. Teacher replied: she is not confident, she never contributes, never puts her hand up. It is getting long now but teacher said things such as I should back off at home not teach her things at moment, She cannot improve communication cause she has 30 kids etc etc. Anyway went for parent meeting last Thursday. Teacher started meeting by saying your dd is now cofident again. She joins in etc. Then she was talking about her reading and when I first asked her can dd read for ex word box. She said yes. We questioned the book band she was on. And then I asked again would my dd be able to read a word by souding it herself? this time she said no I have to sound it for her. At home she is able to read a lot of words by herself when sounding them.The day after she got a stage 1 + book instead of stage 1 (however I think they are in the same colour band) Anyway we ran out of time and have been to see her again today. I know she checked my dd reading on Friday and again yesterday my dd read to another teacher. Today when we saw her she said your dd can read word by sounding them but if she reads i.e. box on one page and next page says box she would sound it again rather than just reading box. Ok maybe sometimes dd does this so can understand her reasoning. Again today she has stage 1+ book not stage 1. She then got very defensive and said we are accusing her of not doing her job properly. I just feel that every time I mention my dd can do something teacher disagrees but then moves her up/on and also she is changing her story everytime I ask something. Just feel horrible not being on good terms with teacher but I haven't got confidence in her and don't like her attitude. What shall I do. Sorry about the essay.
