My daughter in Y2 had a teacher who didn't care and had bad reputation. She has not progressed much, became quiet and lost confidence due to the lack of attention and teacher's encouragement. The teacher has also forgotten that she really wanted a proper part in the school play, and gave her one sentence part, which made her feel very inferior to the friends, who has part in two dances and speaking roles. (she has been involved in dance groups since 3 years old). Finall straw was, the result of 2C in maths. Teacher did not allarm me or nudge me, that this should be given attention, but just mentioned previously that she should work on maths more, but she will be fine. Now, the confidence and self - belief have been affected and I need to pay for private tuition. But this is not the problem. My son has just been allocated the same teacher!!!!
I am in shock, feeling hopeless. The school in very highly achieving school, massive waiting lists. Wouln't like to change school, neither rock the boat with the teacher, in case the place in the other classroom will not be available. What shall I do to save my son's confidence from the careless teacher?
