Teacher insisted that year 7 DD was chewing even though she told the teacher that she wasn’t but that she had a painful ulcer. Teacher clearly did not believe DD so she asked DD to have a look in to her mouth in front of her peers and show her that there was no gum and that she had an ulcer… Whilst I appreciate that gum in schools is a pain I don’t think it is ok for a teacher to inspect a child’s mouth for gum in front of her class mates…
Not happy about this, especially not that it was done in front of her peers.
Just wanted to vent...may mention it on parents evening...
thanks
