I'm currently feeling like the worlds worst mum. I really regret the decision to move DD schools and am contemplating moving her back.
We moved DD from a school she was perfectly happy at, she was confident and had a good group of friends, although seemingly quite bitchy.
Our reasons for moving were the class sizes, the bolshyness of her chosen friends and that this might rub off, it's a very academic school that do very little to none extra curricular (big into maths and English but little else) and that the relationship between teaching staff is visibly strained. All of which we thought may have a negative influence and DD is in CR so decided to move sooner rather than later.
We were basically sold on all these things being different in the new school to only realise the grass isn't always greener.
DD is now described as incredibly shy, will not speak in a group or with the teacher. Her literacy levels have dropped to well below what they were and the class sizes are set to double in September. -This is all from the teaching staff, at home she can still read letters/sounds just fine and is happy although perhaps not as confident as she was.
What do we do? She's only been at this school two terms but I get the distinct feeling the teacher simply doesn't like her and it's horrible to see her confidence shrinking by the day!
