Teacher told my child that child is not a Muslim

Hopefully, it is just a mix-up in communication. Don't feel awkward about raising it with the teacher. I had to query numerous things with my son's teacher at that age, and every time, he had misunderstood something (and he was supposedly one of the brightest in the class!).

If it turns out your daughter is correct, then, of course, you have every right to be angry and should take it further. Please let us know how you get on.

We don't know what the teacher said but it's doubtful it would be that.

This x100

One of mine told his teacher his nan was in prison

She wasnt-he'd overheard his father saying she'd MOVED almost next to it!

That took some explaining...

What's an implication of something that may have happened?

I’d put money on it. It was said without thought I expect, not meant maliciously, just foolishness

The grammar school teacher from Batley is still in hiding and has PTSD. He was cleared of any wrong doing but it looks like his life and that of his children are ruined

I feel like there's a whole load of context missing here. The conversation as the OP posted it is quite a bizarre exchange, there must be more to it than that.

My hate of what? This is your personal issue. As I've said already, the comment you are imagining happened would have no bearing on your child's religion, should it be true and it wouldn't have achieved anything for someone with an agenda.

Your child is not fallible and clearly you feel hasn't recounted the interaction without being overcome by emotion surrounding the whole topic. You were not there. You can ask for clarification or you can jump straight to accepting that if it sounds nonsensical, it likely is. Not everyone is out to get you and if you think all different opinions or disagreement are discriminatory as a matter of course, you're going to have massive problems as she moves through school.

Your title says "Teacher told my child that child is not a Muslim" not my child said her teacher told her she is not a Muslim.

Hopefully all will be clearer once you have spoken to the teacher in the morning.

Some people do not understand that being a Muslim is not tied to being a particular race, dress, or skin colour.

So it could be a lack of understanding by the teacher, or Islamophobia, or your child misunderstood. Try not to worry until you know more.

Yet ANOTHER thread where a child has just started reception and parent is already mistrustful of teacher and ready to start complaining.

You were not in the classroom.
Before you take a 4 year old's word at face value, use your adult critical thinking skills.
And then ask the teacher if you still need to.

But all these mums ready to go up to school on the bounce in week one of their child's school career are going to find it a very hard slog for the next 13 years if they don't find some trust in the teaching staff.

You have a problem with children refusing to hold hands with other children….?

genuinely? This is offensive to you…?

I don’t think you belong anywhere near a school.

children are not in school to do anything they’re uncomfortable with.

also state school is what it says on the tin ‘state’ there for everyone.

nutter.

As an aside, as a teacher I hate teaching RE as I’m constantly afraid of accidentally saying the wrong thing, upsetting someone and being complained about. It’s a shame really as it’s a very interesting subject and there’s often fantastic discussions and chances for children to learn respectfully from each other.

I may not believe in religion, but I do believe people are racist. It’s sometimes unconscious, but I’d def ask the teacher. Something was said!

Unfortunately there are a lot of very hostile so called liberals on Mumsnet who will derail threads posted by Muslims.. there is a good group on Facebook (Muslim mamas) which might be more helpful.

I would ask the teacher without accusing her, just to find out her side. Quite often things get lost in translation by kids and she may have said something completely different.

Op don't you think the more pertinent issue here is a Four year old feels this is worth crying over ?
My DC were told mummy loosely follwed the Catholic faith and went to Catholic school there is no way at any age let aloneage four they would come home crying if a teacher said they weren't Catholic
I think that's what you need to focus on

You feel cross already, therefore you are assuming it happened and your veiled comment about 'why it might have happened' implies you're making some sort of accusation about the teacher. I dont think its me with the micro aggressive nature. At least be honest with yourself

You started a thread in AIBU - yes you are

And you cant shut people up by shouting micro aggression at people. It doesnt work.

I know a family where it was the other way round, brown child with foreign name not allowed to have a certain meal at lunchtime as "Muslims can't eat that.". Mother checked and school confirmed it. Mother not impressed and made that clear.

What they had a 4 year old be told by a reception teacher that they weren't actually muslim? 🤔🤔🤔

My personal belief is that no child can be any religion until they chose to follow that religion freely as an adult. .I always say I was raised Catholic .

Raised not am
