DS is 5. Has his moments at home but always complemented at school as industrious, well behaved, good listener. He's doing well and learning a lot for which I'm grateful to his teacher, year 1.
But. He's a sensitive soul and gets upset with shouting. His reception teacher was utterly lovely and encouraging and gave him so much confidence. This year he keeps mentioning that his teacher shouts at them all a lot. At him occasionally. Clearly I only have his version of events. Other parents have mentioned she's known for being strict (firm but fair) and their children comment on the shouting too so not just DS.
He had a tick that occurred last year during an anxious period and its returning. He woke last night with a nightmare based around the teacher. I'm concerned and think I have to say something at parents evening next week.
I completely appreciate how hard teachers work and how hard it must be to keep 15 5-6 year olds in check (private so small numbers). She seems helpful and friendly at pick up but we only see her occasionally. Any ideas how I can raise this diplomatically because however I run it in my head it still comes out as "please can you stop shouting".
