Sick of Dds teacher

Instead of challenging the teacher on shouting (as she will just say she doesn't) raise the issue of your DD being upset, reluctant to go to school and telling you that she, and other children, are regularly crying. Surely the teacher can't be happy with this in her classroom? Whether you tackle the teacher again or go to the headteacher, emphasise that you want your DD to enjoy her time at school. I would also gently check with the other little boy's parents how he is finding school, without giving details of what your DD has said.

You can discuss also with your DD how she can cope if she makes a mistake. Maybe how to ask if she's not sure of something. How to not distract her friend when they need to sit still and quiet, if he finds that more difficult etc

I've no idea if it would be allowed or not but could you ask to observe the class for half a day, on the basis that you want to see how DD is doing in class so you can better support her at home? Suspect in the UK it wouldn't be allowed for safeguarding reasons. Otherwise could you speak privately to the headteacher about it and see if they can do something without a formal complaint?

I don't! I challenge that sort of bullshit in real life also.

I think it's a massive stretch to compare saying I don't like teachers to racism.

I just find it really annoying people hounding each other online because they dislike one element of what they said. Yes it's a massive sweeping statement, but people say ridiculous things in real life all the time, and you roll your eyes and leave it.

I don't blame you for the way you feel, doing such an important job as well!

For some reason teachers have become scapegoats!

Doublexegg & kisstheblarney you've really derailed this thread, go away won't you?

No one is right we all have our own opinions.
Have a good night.

Also - just because some children have cried does not mean the teacher has been unpleasant.

Some children dissolve in tears over fuck all. My DD was one!! She was a very angelic/cute petite toddler and her nursery key workers thought she was adorable and pandered to her, they gave her a lot of attention for bursting into tears so she learned to do it at the drop of hat. It took a lot of time and effort to break her of the habit.

@doublexegg because up until your last post, you were professing you were right....

When you weren't!

You also keep coming back at me..... why?

I dont know why you keep coming at me are you ok.

I’m not even reading the OP or the thread, just want the OP to be aware how anxious just reading the thread title makes me feel as a teacher, even though I have no reason to be! So fed up with my profession being slated - we are all doing the best we can

One was fired as i said i dont see all teachers the same.
I could have worded it better but not everyone does perfect typing.

@doublexegg you grow up and stop deciding that a whole group of people doing an extremely valuable job are all disliked!

That's ridiculous!

No worries thank you.

Grow up one comment and all this really look at your selfs your all acting like its a popularity contest.
I dont like ice cream either.

Strange post.

I take back my comment. That sounds horrible. I'm sorry that happened to you.

@doublexegg nope, but if you said the same about my career choice, I'd be furious!

As I said I say the same about the inane "I don't like cyclists" posts!

Stupid!

Erm...maybe meet more. 'I don't like teachers'. Wtf

Are you a teacher ?

Is the teacher actually shouting, or does your DD just perceive her as shouting? I say this because my friend's 7yo, if told off for something or if his mum has to repeatedly ask him time and time again to do something and ends up using a firm tone, will cry and say "stop shouting at me!". His mum isn't shouting, he just doesn't like being told off, and interprets firmness and being stuff like "told brush your teeth now I won't ask you again" as shouting.

This, a lot of children these days aren't used to be spoken to in a firm, no nonsense tone and describe it as "shouting". Lots of kids these days aren't used to expectation that they'll obey instructions, and don't seem to recognise that the teacher is in charge, and are frankly bewildered when the teacher questions why they aren't doing as they've been told.

Would you say the same if she said "I don't like "ethnic minority"?

It's wrong and that's it!

@doublexegg so you don't dislike teachers, you dislike the ones that were unkind to you?

A whole difference...

I hope the one you experienced were prosecuted, but don't tar them all with the same brush!

Oh for God sake, if she wants to say I don't like teachers let her, it really doesn't matter. People don't say things perfectly all the time.

I can't see that opinion catching on anyway.

I don't like people that work in the post office, every one I go in they are really rude and snappy. But I can totally see why now! I digress.

Just the ones that bullied me because i lost my leg and 3 fingers &other things long story.
But i know full well not all are the same.
