WWYD in this situation. I’m annoyed and what to advocate for my DC8 but don’t want to act on impulse and overreact (which I can do).
A week ago my DS was at football training and they played a warm up game and my DC won. They have a new kid who can’t play, isn’t involved in any sport, doesn’t try, doesn’t look interest, can’t kit a ball etc. This child (let’s say child A)got upset and angry at loosing and walked off to their parent. The parent said children had been upsetting their DC and said it was a bullying. Coaches said they didn’t witness anything like this but would keep aware. DS told me tonight that his teacher had pulled a bunch of kids together and told them that some people had been unkind to a child at football and not to do it.
Child A’s parent works at the school so I believe had spoken to the teacher and teacher had acted on it.
My DS feels upset and let down by this. He feels this is about him (winning the game), that he played by the rules and won fairly. He’s worried the teacher thinks bad of him and isn’t on his side.
tbh I feel quite similar. This isn’t a school issue, it happened outside and this parent had brought it into school using their position of working at school. The coaches said no unfair play or bullying. The teacher didn’t give any child an opportunity to discuss anything or give their side. And if they can’t do that they why bring it up.
Would you say something to the teacher or let it go?
