DD(4) and ds(5) are 2 days under a year apart, both august babies and in their correct year so in reception and year 1. The same teacher who had DS last year has dd this year, no real problems and both kids kept up fine, dd was slightly ahead academically but struggled more socially and seemed to get in more trouble.
Talking to dh today their teacher referred to them as his twins and was surprised when he said they weren’t and clarified their birthdays then walked off. So she’s spent the whole year thinking they’re the same age and that we decided to separate twins and hold just one of them back.
Obviously the the years nearly over now and I’m not suggesting making a complaint or anything but AIBU to be a bit annoyed and think she should know the ages of her pupils, who’s the youngest and whose been held back ect?
I can’t held thinking she’s held dd to higher standards because all year she believed she should be at her brothers level rather than giving her the same understanding for being the youngest and that if she’d know dd would have had a gentler time and got more support.
