My daughter is subject to a contact order and until it's resolved she doesn't have contact with her dad (he drinks and was violent in front of her). The last two books have been about 'dad's birthday' and '6 in a bed' where mum and dad are happily in bed when the other kids jump in.
I asked for books to be filtered because they are not relevant to her family life at present until the case is over.
The teacher said if that was the case my daughter couldn't take part and be 'excluded' from group reading and i must understand she has to read them as part of the curriculeum. I did point out that she needs to be sensitive towards her needs just for a month or so & the teacher is aware of the fact I am a single parent and court case etc.
The teacher annoyed me because having spoke up she was unsympathetic. As a governor at another school early years is about understanding kids families & not creating stereotypes.....
