Ds is yr 3. Has played piano at school since Reception. Every week someone collects him from his class for his piano lesson.
This week he started the cornet. First lesson today. I dropped him off, reminded him of the lesson time and told his teacher.
I get a call lunch time from school to say they are sorry but ds missed his cornet lesson as music teacher away and cornet teacher didn't know ds was due to start.
Saw teacher at pick up and asked why ds had missed his lesson if she and he both knew the time. She said that he was supposed to go to the lesson himself and should have asked at 10 to be excused from class from his lesson. She blamed him for missing his lesson even though no-one had told him he wouldn't be collected from his class and that he needed to tell the teacher (who already knew he was supposed to have a lesson).
AIBU to think that the teacher should have told him that unlike piano lessons he would not be collected from the classroom?
She said he is in yr 3 so should work it out for himself. I agree for subsequent weeks but if it is different from normal practice how was he to know if no-one told him?
