Ok, so it's a bit complicated. My dd is 7 and in year 2. She's a bright girl, vety articulate and confident. She has an older brother who is 11. DS is a lovely boy who has high functioning ASD. Although his autism is quite mild, it can sometimes be overwhelming and dd often bears the brunt of his behaviour. The school she is now at is her third school - her first school was highly regarded, dd started in reception very well but it all quickly went down hill, a long story but it turned out she was being bullied (three head injuries in a week, coming out of school crying so much she couldn't speak etc) school didn't give a shit so I moved her. Her next school was much nicer, she was happy, but then DH got a new job which meant a move to new area. So that what happened. Her school now is very rural, there are only five other girls in her year group. She's settled in well and is very happy there. So we went to parents evening yesterday, teacher said dd was doing well academically blah blah blah! But then said she speaks too loudly. I couldn't quite believe what I was hearing I pointed out her background ie third school ,previously bullied, autistic sibling. Teacher said 'I suppose that explains it' no one has ever said that about her and it's certainly not something I've noticed.she just a normal nice little girl. I foolishly mentioned it to dd (I know, I wish I hadn't ) dd was crestfallen. I'm obviously cross with myself for mentioning it to dd. So AIBU to be pissed off? Is it fair criticism or is teacher out of line?
