Child behaviour in school

6 replies

Rebecharr · 09/10/2019 18:24

I have a 6 yr old who is in full time school.
Over the past year there have been a few occasions where the teacher has approached me in the school playground to discuss openly in front of other parents my child's misbehaviour in class.
Earlier this week once again she confronted me in the playground to announce again in listening distance from other parents that my child had misbehaved (which actually had an innocent explanation when explored further).
I obviously want to work closely with the school with his behaviour but I'm finding the approach very unprofessional and feel judged by other parents.
Is this standard practice?

not in our school
a 'word' about your child ought to be in private / away from other parents and kids but within earshot of other staff member

I didn't think it was right it's so embarrassing with everyone listening in.
I tried to step away to show I wasn't comfortable but she didn't seem to notice and continued to 'broadcast' all the things he was doing wrong.

I’d ask if the teacher has any issues to raise that they call you into the class after school has finished. Send an email into school or politely raise this with your class teacher.

Interested in this thread?

Yes I've sent an email to her asking if there are any future issues I'm happy to come in to discuss and would prefer not to be having these discussions in the playground. Just feel the damage is already done now though

If I experience the above issues, I would either invite the Parent in to speak to me or telephone.
Considering that you’ve already spoken to the Teacher about this, I would raise the issue with a member of SLT.
Good luck OP, I hope this is sorted out soon.
