My DD got her GCSE results yesterday and got a 9 in Geography, which I don’t think she could have acheived without her Geography teacher taking the time to show her how to write these top level answers. I would like to email the Headteacher to let him know how much I appreciate her work. Is this a done thing or would it be a bit weird?!
Also, DD said it was the most disruptive class she had ever been in, many of the students didn’t even bother turning up for the exams and she saw others who didn’t even open their papers. The teacher must have some terrible marks from that class, so I just want to try and offer a balance to that. Should I mention to the Head that she found time for my daughter whilst having to deal with all of that, or would it sound negative that she couldn’t control the other kids? I don’t want to drop her in it. It is only her second year of teaching and my DD says she has had a really hard time, it is quite a rough school and has recently been downgraded from Outstanding to Requires Improvement by Ofsted.
