Long story and a bit of history between me and teacher, but basically DD's report said she "can be laid back" in maths lessons, with a low effort mark. I interpreted this as fairly thinly veiled teacher code for "can't be arsed".
This is the first time this has been mentioned, so it felt a bit out of the blue.
I filled in the form this morning in a hurry, and wrote that I was surprised at this, and maybe if DD had been stretched a bit more instead of repeating last year's syllabus she would have been more engaged.
I was quite polite really, and didn't let rip like I wanted to, but DD said the teacher looked really upset and embarrassed.
Now I'm sitting here stewing about it and feeling really guilty. It was a great report apart from that and I feel like I've totally overreacted to one negative comment.
Teachers - are you used to parents giving feedback like this? Should I apologise or should I let it stand? I do agree that she should have been given more interesting work to do (she worked with the Y6's last year so did it all again this year with no extension work) I did complain a few times through the year and got fobbed off so it's not out of the blue that I feel this, but it is out of the blue that DD has been "Laid back".
