I expect it’s me. So any advice would be great.
It’s a very simple but ongoing and frustrating issue - School books.
DS, just turned 7, year 2 has not bought a new book home in months.
We write in his diary “please can DS have some new books.”
The teacher writes back
“We remind DS to get new books.”
We have new books. This goes on and and on and on. Still no new books.
He swears blind that no-one has reminded him .
And DH and I are in full time work so have to use a childminder. The childminder drops several children off in the morning some of which are reception age so she has to stay with them but DS can go in by himself. By pick up time she has up to 8 children with her and there’s no way I can expect her to leave them all to go in and get books. Or worse still, drag them through the hoards of people to get books.
The teacher knows we don’t drop off or collect.
I say, why can’t the teacher tell DS to go and get books and come back and physically show her that he’s done it or see with her eyes that he’s put them in his bag.
She doesn’t even need to get out her chair.
Yes there’s 30 kids, but there’s TA’s and parental help.
I feel like the teacher is being difficult. No doubt the teacher feels that we are being difficult, and DS is certainly being a little difficult but “not hearing” the reminders.
Every day I remind him as well, I must add.
