DS (9) lost 5 minutes off his break yesterday because he didn’t complete his work in time. He said his teacher wrote the questions on the board and he didn’t get to write them down in time before she had wiped them off. He didn’t tell her that he didn’t get the questions down in time. He eventually got the remaining questions from his friend and completed the work but still lost his break. He said the questions were difficult and he was stuck working them out. I should add I believe my son has adhd like me so I’m fully aware he may be struggling and not using his voice when he needs to be.
My concern is she didn’t ask him why he didn’t manage to complete it she just took his book away from him and didn’t ask no further questions.
Then the 5 minutes he lost in break she still didn’t address it with him?
this is the response I’ve had from her
Hi, no he did not tell me or the other adults in class that he was struggling. If he had, we would have given him the support he needed. I will pick this up with him today or tomorrow and find out which question he was struggling with. By the end of the lesson, he had actually completed the flashback which was the work I was talking about. Thanks for letting me know.
DH feels like she is fobbing us off, I hate confrontation but I’m fully aware I need to be supporting my son.
Thoughts please
