To not be happy with new teacher so far because of this

If someone has to explain to you what 5 year olds need, you have quite a problem in my opinion.

Raising your voice isn't bullying.

You seem to have it wrong?
It was the teacher who invited the messaging.

As for helping her, I would never support anyone who has bullied and upset a child.

So sorry OP. Hope he'll be alright and soon settle in.

OP, if your child still hasn’t got a book and the teacher has ignored/forgotten your message, I would approach her at the end of school and ask if it would be possible for your child to have a book to bring home - I would assume the teacher would want him to have one. As to the shouting, let it go, unless it happens again.

I’m not, but maybe you could actually answer the question?

What help and support does the child need??

I truly hope you're not a teacher

He did do as he was told.

lots of people have pressurised jobs, they dont resort to shouting at their colleagues, or a 5 year old child. if she cant do the job without shouting at the kids she needs to leave.

The incident at hometime can be interpreted in different ways. It's not the red flag for me. The lack of books being sent home is a bad sign. Year 1s need to be reading every single day. Giving them books at the right level is one of the priorities for the start of the year. If nothing comes home today, I would definitely be contacting the school. I believe the Op has already questioned the lack of books with the teacher so I would go above her head at this point.

Its week 1 of school I'd cut her some slack bar the shouting thing.

1. She probably has passed it on to whoever needs to deal with it and its off her radar now. I'd give it more time - our school are very slow at getting things sorted esp start of terms.
2. Use a home book. We had a few points last year where we didn't get a book each week. We just read something we had at home and noted in it the homework journal that he didn't have a school book. You've told the teacher, it is now down to her to supply one. If she isn't then use a home book so you aren't missing out on homework/learning. I always find using a home book better as they ready those school books a hundred times over the week so can recite them not read them.
3. Personally I would speak to my DS about it, make sure he understands not to interrupt and stay in line and if it happens again raise it with her/headteacher.

If you can't understand that talking to the teacher and seeing if there is anything you personally can do to help, then that's a shame, petitchat.

The pressure on teachers is crazy. Have you read any other threads on here lately?

And I do feel the constant contact with teachers must be a lot for them. You no longer need to make an appointment (or wait for parents evening) to chat over any concerns. Now you can message any time. Imagine 30 parents messaging to ask questions constantly. 30 parents who are expecting individual replies outside of your working hours. It's crazy that we demand this now.

Maybe asking yourself, and the teacher, if there's anything you can do to make things better for everyone is a good thing.

You get bitches in teaching as well as any other workplace, I don't get all this defending of them no matter what. She's wrong to have shouted like that at your little boy. poor kid

What help and support does the child need? He certainly doesn’t “need” to be stepping out of the line interrupting the teacher.

No wonder Teaching is on the decline as a job. The demands are insane.

Totally disagree.
The child needs help and support.
The teacher can gain it elsewhere if she needs it.

The most important person is the child.

Ypi can help by telling your child to do as he is told.

I wouldn’t be pleased if that happened. I’d talk to her after school today if no book is in his bag. She doesn’t sound very nurturing. My child’s teacher is always there if you need to mention something like that.

If your dd doesn't like it, tell him to do as he's told!

Petitchat. That's really not what I said. Sad old world if we can't recognise someone may need help.

Yeah. The teacher may just be a dick, bit isn't it best to at least see if there's something you can do to help first, before writing them off completely. After all, this is the person who is looking after your kid for a year.

I really don't think supporting abusive actions is the right thing to do.

A teacher shouting at a child clearly isn't acceptable. However, neither is calling for the teacher to resign. (aware it's not you doing this, op). The teacher is human.

Instead of complaining into the mumsnet abyss, why not explain to your child its important to do what the teacher asks, and then speak to your teacher? Ask if there is something you can do to help her. Maybe she is overwhelmed, and perhaps support from the parents is what she needs.

Sometimes we need to take a different approach and help, rather than complain.
