DD is in year 7. She was great at primary school, high achieving, well behaved. Year 7 she has changed and seems to treat it all as a bit of a laugh, desperate to fit in with peers. I've posted before on this.
Had a phone call this evening from her music teacher to inform us that DD had behaved terribly in her lesson today, she said "I have never experienced a child behaving like that in all my teaching career". I was listening, horrified thinking what the hell has she done.
DD had been asked to come to the front of the class to scroll down on the computer as the class sang a song. She was dared to type in the word 'monkey' on the song sheet, which she did. I know it's annoying and disruptive and must piss the teacher off, but a phone call home?
We haven't told DD we think she over reacted, obviously and I do think perhaps this was the last straw in a long line of silliness. We have punished her, no phone, guides, footie.
We live in south London so it is a mixture of kids at this school, just can't quite believe she hasn't experienced worse!
I'd welcome opinions.
