Ok as teachers we usually have a good idea of what we are getting into. Definitely not for the hassle free career.
Anyway, I've been teaching for 15 years and have always adopted a firm but fair approach. I get good results, care about the children and do as professional a job and work as hard as I can.
This year, at a parent/teacher consultation, a parent told me they didn't think their child had had a good a good year as "x just doesn't like you."
It's bothered me ever since.
The child in question was a high average child, was very motivated in class (I thought) and seemed engaged and as happy it is possible to be in school.
Anyway we are nearing the end of the year and I'm exhasuted.
Just wondered if you've ever told a teacher that your child doesn't like them? Do you think it's reasonable to do this?
AIBU to still think about this?
What would you say if you were a teacher in response to this?
Any teachers had similar and how did you react.
Mentioned to HT but didn't find him particularly helpful other than saying just forget it.
