My HT has received a written complaint about my work and this is it ...
Their child can't work (their words - I would say learn!) because the classroom environment is too distracting. This surprised me because my room is a peaceful place this year and this has been the subject of comment from visiting advisors, the HT, other teachers. I have a very peaceable lot this year. Apparently it is the 'scratching of pencils' and children using their erasers that the child is finding distracting.
And the parent is complaining that I don't appear to be in my room much this year and why haven't they been told that I am 'sharing my class'. Since the beginning of the academic year I have had 3 planning/ marking/ report writing/ SEN meetings days, 1 day at a conference and 2 days to visit the hospital to check out a mystery lump in my breast (not that any parent needs to know this). My HT is talking about running further days out of my classroom past these parents. WHY? Surely they can just get stuffed!!
I cannot see how any angst from SLT over this complaint is needed. In any event, there is very little I can do.
Just venting really ...
