I did. This wasn't a challenge about a report but a parent's meeting when DS was in nursery.
Had never had any complaints from his teacher, they all seemed to like him etc.etc.
Went to the parent's appointment and was met with a brick wall of negative comments about my son. He couldn't do this (recognise high frequency words), he couldn't do that (recognise all common shapes, a pentagon for ffs sake many adults would struggle ) and couldn't do the other (concentrate for more than 5 mins, he was THREE). It was a very negative meeting which told me nothing about how what kind of boy he was, was he happy, did he mix well with other children?
Now, as a teacher myself I recognise us parents can sometimes refuse to see what is right in front of us but as far as I was are tat nursery it should have been about playing and learning to interact with others and I certainly wasn't expecting a tirade of negative comments. SHe didn't tell me one thing my sone could do well. He was 3 and the youngest in the class (late aug birthday). Needless to say, when he went into reception and got a positive teacher he took off!
I went to see the Headteacher, who was quite shocked about what I had experience and said the teacher concerned would be spoken to and I thyink she was because I was persona non grata from that moment on as far as she was concerned .
Can you tell this stil makes my blood boil, 2 years down the line
If you feel you have a genuine grievance you should contact the headteacher.
