Are teachers allowed to voice how the other parents feel towards a certain child in the class?

[GlitzAndGlamour26]

Just that really.Is this allowed?

Voice to who?

The child being told offf

Primary school age children here

You’ll have to give more info than this OP.

Surely it depends:

'Everyone thinks you're a little scrote' - not cool even if true

'When you kick other children and rips up their work, it makes people feel sad' - totally fine.

No. They can point out the effect their (the child’s) behaviour may have had on another child (“when you hit X, they felt very hurt and upset”) but not bring in any other info (“ X’s Mummy is very cross when you hit X”).

A teacher told a primary aged child that other parents don't approve of him or her?

You are going to have to give more detail here. Is it a 10 year old who is hitting other children then I would think it’s fine to say that others are annoyed and upset by it. Or is it a 5 year old?

I think this needs a bit more context?

As in 'several parents have complained about you lifting up the girls skirts' or 'all the mums and dads think you are whiney and horrid"

The child was told that he had upset some parents.

Too cryptic and impossible to understand what is the point here.

Well maybe he did upset some other parents.

*of the, not other

@GlitzAndGlamour26

The child was told that he had upset some parents.

I still think it depends on what happened.

Cross posted, but still too cryptic. upset the parents how? Context is everything.

Then no. That would be unprofessional, but I can understand a teacher saying it out of frustration (not that they are right to do so).

I say this after a week involving frustrating, dangerous, and violent behaviour on top of all of our GCSE/A level and BTEC grading rubbish.

Well had he upset some parents because he dug up all the plants they had volunteered to plant on their day off or by shouting at them

It could have been an outrageous comment or a legitimate one.

I hate threads like this
Piss or get off the pot
All this cloak and dagger is really 💤

I think it’s awful.

I remember in primary school best friends were told they weren’t allowed to play together. One boy ‘Jack’ was a bit of a trouble maker and the other boy ‘Robert’ was just very quiet and together they always got up to mischief.

Jack got very upset and frustrated and the teacher told him in front of the whole class that Robert’s mummy and daddy don’t like you and they think you’re a bad influence so they don’t want you playing together.

Thirty years later I still remember how his face had this shocked little look before he started crying. She was a vile bitch.

I strongly suspect the OP child has been a little shit and she is trying to blame the teacher rather than her child.

You haven’t given enough information. I think on this one context is important rather than there being a simple yes or no answer.

Don’t think it helps to think of this in terms of what teachers are “allowed” to do. If the teacher is trying to manage the child’s behaviour, it may be reasonable to encourage the child to reflect on the fact that their behaviour has upset other people. As others have said, we really need more background/context to reach a view.

@Fitforforty Excuse me don't be calling my child that!!!I was asking for my neighbour who has not given anymore information!

Yeah that's heartbreaking and awful. And it clearly had an impact of you still remember it now!

But if like a PP said above, it's a child damaging something parents have worked hard to provide for school etc, that's different.

Oh one those posters
