DD2 is in Reception and has the most dogmatic teacher ever. She insists that the children read every book at each level before they move up. DD2 is on Level 1 ORT, which she has been on since September. She reads much more demanding stuff at home - Ladybird books, Ant & Bee etc, and says she "hates" the ORT books as they are "for babies - they are not proper books as they do not have enough words on the page." So she makes little effort at school. She took a Ladybird book in to read to her teacher the other day, and the teacher told her that she could read what she wanted at home, but had to read ORT at school. She has told me several times that she has to finish all of the books in level 1 before she can be moved up. I think DD is becoming bored, demotivated (at 5!) and a bit of a trouble maker.
I don't want anotehr "See Me" from teacher and a telling off (yes, really...), so as I've made no progress, do you think I should ask to see the head teacher?
Does this make sense?!
