My daughter has just started yr 5 and the teacher is not very nice. To me or to many other mums, but also she has 'favourite children' and is not particularly nice to those who are not her favourite. Now, I understand that not all teachers gel with pupils or even their parents, or to differing degrees, and you just grin and bear it and be polite because if they are effective at the job, then nothing else matters. Trouble is that so far all teachers have been good for dd, and this is the first really unpleasant one. She just sneers, or dismisses, or ignores those she wants to. Parents and children included! So, my issue is - how do I approach her - just being nice will not cut the ice as she will turn away. Only reason it is important is because I need to engage with her because of my daughter, and I want to start off on the right footing. Desperately hoping my daughter doesn't have any issues with her as it is such a crucial year. Any advice?
