Our dd6 has been referred to an occupational therapist as school have said her behaviour is not typical of other children the same age. We were a bit annoyed they took so long to tell us she was struggling (eg they had mentioned spitting at parents evening in November and nothing else). Glad they are referring her but at a talk with the assistant head she mentioned she wanted the parents evening to be about her academic achievement rather than her behaviour. They did ask pointed questions about her teacher and I said she was probably not the ideal personality to teach my DD as she’s q shouty and my dd is sensitive to noise. Anyway we wanted to talk to her teacher as she hadn’t mentioned any of the issues to us in the past months but also wanted to discuss coping strategies of what would help the teacher to get through to her as she is not any trouble at home. Anyway for our 10 min appt the teacher was over running. The head teacher who is usually v good after about 5 mins told us our time was up not just once but twice which she’s never done before and said we could come another time . The teacher filled the time with complete drivel. We finally tried to steer the conversation to coping strategies and we mentioned her referral. The teacher started saying that “wasn’t her decision” and then we were chased out practically saying our time was up. Something just didn’t seem right. Do you think they are trying to cover themselves or something? That has never happened before.
