After school club run by specialist teacher for 6 - 8 year olds, art, 3 weeks in.
I went to pick up dc8 and watched end of lesson through glass door.
Kids were tidying up - collecting pencils and pens and putting in box - they looked a bit tired and were a bit slow and day dreamy. Teacher suddenly emptied box of pencils which had been already been collected - emptied onto floor - and when the kids near him looked at him stupefied he shrugged, and after a moment they continued collected the pens including the emptied ones and putting in box.
Asked dc when he got out what had happened and he said the teacher had said that they were being too slow and so emptied out the pencils. I looked at him as if to say "what?" and he said that that was what had happened.
I don't want to give my views/my AIBU on this yet because I just wanted to know what other people's reactions would be first.
FWIW these are nice kids, can be quite lively but pipe down if told off quickly and generally do what they are told and pay attention.
thanks
