Hiya my name is Jo my daughter is currently in year 3 at school.At first the school had a good head teacher and she had a supportive teacher.But when year 2 rolled around the teacher left and so did the head teacher.We got a new head teacher and then many teachers started leaving.
I have experience in working in childcare and was working as a playground assistant at the time,i had been there over a year.I started to notice changes as the new head came in.Like simple things instead of sitting down to pray at lunch they now pray in the queue didn't seem anything really.But then there was more concerning changes like even though my first aid certificate was out of date i was encouraged to administer first aid instead of sending children to the office.
Another playground assistant left a mother of my daughters friend she took her daughter with her.Apparently during a discussion with the head about her life the heads comments were that it was her fault she was in a abusive relationship.(she had just left a difficult relationship).Well that was strange for a head to say.
Next they hired two new playground assistants and although i was reassured and given a contract for the next few months.They said they could not afford to keep me.This is just before i would be there for 2 years therefore would have had more rights.
During the next year my daughters teachers were changed over and over again.No regularity homework never checked reading logs never checked.When she went into year three they finally got a permanent teacher but i still feel a distinct lack of attention given.Not only that but multiple reports of bullying have been encored.
Now my daughter is delayed she took effort but when she was a good teacher she made good progress.Now i feel shes falling more and more behind.Whats worst is i am hearing rumors that apparently her new teacher is incredibly impatient and shouts at her to the point of crying.I know and understand kids need discipline but there is a line.
Now after talking to other parents i have learnt more interesting information.A couple of months ago a email was sent out saying a year 6 teacher was leaving due to parents bullying her.Now its come to light that the parents had genuine concerns that the teacher was acting inappropriately .Telling kids intimate details about her life.That and the parents asked about what was being taught in the curriculum .This was not bullying but high lighting genuine concerns about conduct and teaching.Yet the parents were treated like trouble makers some told there were no longer allowed on site unless with a chaperone.
I have also been informed that a student was expelled because they didn't want to work with the parent.Which worry's me that if i try to talk with the head teacher i will be treated as if i am the parent of a undisciplined child not one who has extra needs.
Problem is this is all hear say i have no proof,i don't know how to protect my daughter and i don't feel like i can approach the head teacher i don't know what to do
