Dd has just started Y5. She is with the same kids as last year, a mainly really nice class but with 4 or 5 pretty tricky boys. Anyway their new teacher, who is new to the school, regularly punishes the whole class when these boys are disruptive, which they are now really fed up with. She is keeping them in at breaks, part of lunchtime, today they were 15 minutes late out of school.
These boys really don't care if the whole class is punished, but the rest of them are really fed up, losing their enthusiasm as all the teacher seems to be doing is battling to keep control of the few.
Do you think I should speak up?
