Evening Ladies - need thoughts on this incident today. Have posted about DD (year 6) before but need to post again. DD has always been behind at school and diagnosed with Auditory Processing Disorder last year. She has said she would really like to leave primary with a level 4c in Maths and English (entered year 6 at about a 3c/b in both). She lacks confidence particularly in Maths so she has been going to a tutor to try and help her as she would be over the moon to reach her goal. Anyway, she sat a Maths test yesterday and had already told me she ran out of time to do all the questions. Today in class teacher went through everyone's test results and got very cross and shouted at one boy for not doing well and ripped up his paper and then shouted at DD for also not doing well until she started to cry and then teacher said to everyone in the class "it's teacher you should feel sorry for not DD" (this was confirmed by two of DDs friends who came running up to me after school to tell me about the day's events).DD said to me she tried her best but just ran out of time. She is now worried about the next test and that she will get shouted at. It is such a shame as she felt she was doing much better at Maths since we started with the extra tutoring and I feel we have now taken a big step backwards confidence wise. I know teachers are under pressure with SATS but to shout at DD, who struggles to keep up, in front of whole class was over stepping the mark. Just wanted to get perspective/views on this whilst I try and decide how/what to do next. Thank you
