Not sure whether I'm being a bit extreme or not. DD is in Y3. Yesterday they were reading 'The Tunnel' in class. The teacher asked the class if they could think of anyone that liked to play alone or not play with others. A few people suggested names of her classmates. She said I'm thinking of someone else. Does the person I'm thinking of want to give me a little nod? DD nodded. Teacher then asked if the person would mind standing up, so DD stood up.
A couple of months ago the teacher pulled me aside to say she was concerned that DD will often choose to play alone or talk to the adults. DD seems to be going through a shy patch, having previously been pretty confident. She told me she sometimes likes practising playing tennis against the wall if no one wants to play tennis and she fancies it. Sometimes I don't think she does want to play alone, but is too shy. I find it really strange that the teacher did this in the class - am I overreacting? It's made me think wtf and feel really uncomfortable for DD and those other kids that were named.
