DD (17) is in an all boy A level (creative) class with a male teacher.
So not to drip feed we already have a few concerns with how much voice she has in terms of mandatory group work. Monitoring just now as DH thinks we should give DD the opportunity to sort herself.
I do like teacher and so does DD.
DD has just told us over dinner that when she complained, in class today, that everyone keeps making fat jokes about her a boy commented saying something along the lines of maybe you should start listening. DD called him out on being rude and her teacher told her not to be so soft/a snowflake.
For full transparency I think the whole conversation was said in jest but surely a teacher shouldn’t be minimising any derogative comments about another students weight whether being said as a joke or not.
DD isn’t actually bothered but that’s not to say the next persons the boy decides make judgment on won’t be and I am quite pissed off at teacher’s reaction.
DD did have some controlled eating issues a year or so back so maybe I’m just quite sensitive about it due to that…
Worth a chat with the teacher?
