3 different punishments over a 5 month period for one incident -is this even legal ?

This is a waste of everyone's time, OP. You're obviously giving very selective information so those of us who might be able to help you can't because we only have bits of the story.

Really OP - that's a massive drip feed that suddenly you are claiming that the teacher racially abused your DD.

If that was true, surely you would have raised it with the Head and the Governors as mitigating evidence immediately??

Well, there seems to be a lot more going on. Just ask for a meeting with the school. People on the internet can't possibly comment when they're only in possession of 1% of the facts.

absolutely.

We're all discussing the definitions of words, but the mere fact of slagging off a teacher when they are in the same room shows a startling amount of arrogance as well as stupidity.

Btw, isn't primordial similar to saying someone is the "missing link"? I refer to people sometimes as this, meaning they are a bit unevolved , eg dh's friend who is the polar opposite of Renaissance Man.

Your child's ethnicity is not at all relevant in the context of the pair of little madams sitting discussing their teacher in disparaging terms, right in front of her.

So OP these things are bad:

'boys sending sexting images to other schools, children in gangs, children destroying whole rooms of equipment, both boys and girls swearing at teachers'

But racism is OK??

But you refuse to explain the context in which your dd's teacher was described as tribal. You just insist it wasn't racist.
I've read the entire thread; and I'm no wiser now than I was after your first post.
Your refusal to clarify speaks volumes, though.

I've read the whole thread and think CherryPavlova has is spot on.

What it is that we are both missing OP?

I know what is missing for me is any sense that you think the racist abuse heard at home and repeated at school is disgraceful.

You still sound both racist and supportive of your daughter making racist comments.
Exam boards talking about art history might ask a question that requires student to compare the impressionists with tribal artwork from the Masai Mara. That is hugely different to suggesting a teacher had not evolved.

The ethnicity of your child is irrelevant. Go and speak to school about how you can support them to educate your child. Write and apologise to the teacher.

Not at liberty to say . I'll bet...

So what had happened previously to precipitate a conversation in which a parent described a teacher as ‘tribal’? And what did they mean? Of course you are ‘at liberty’ to say, if you know.

If you believe that your child has beren badly treated by the school, that sanctions have been disproportionately applied and outside the policy, and if you think there are grounds to believe that your child has been unfairly victimised due to her race then you need to take it up with the school in ways that PP have suggested.

PanelChair is an expert in school procedures and policies (as is admission) and there is at least one person on the thread who is a school governor.

You need to talk to the school because either way you need to know whether your Dd is being treated unjustly or whether she is behaving unacceptably. I would want actual details rather than ‘British values’ , for example.

•Bibesia* there is also a context, for example, in which POC use it to describe a different POC community, and it offensive, and intended to be so. Context is ALL. Who said it and who to / about, and why.

Agree with pp that much of the story is missing.
No sympathy with your DD saying such rude, disrespectful, nasty and probably racial comments about a teacher tbh.
It's not really on to continue to punish her months later, though, if that is what school are in fact doing.

There's clearly large pieces of information being missed here. Which means no one can answer or give advice.

Massive piece of this story missing

Yes-there are loads of contexts in which "tribal" is not racist. It seems unlikely that those are the contexts we are talking about here.

The word "tribal" is increasingly used in the sense of political tribes and is certainly not necessarily racist. Have a look at this article, for instance.

Yeah well, if it was perfectly innocent and and not racist there would be no reason for you not saying how it was used, would you?
More to this than meets the eye, as they say.

An external exclusion for an incident that happened five months ago that has already been the subject of lesser punishments would certainly be illegal. Have you had a letter officially informing you of the exclusion and giving notice of your right to ask the governors to review it? If so, I suggest you exercise that right.

I find the OP minimising of the use of racist language in the home and at school rather distasteful. If it was all so innocent you could easily explain the contextual use of those words.
