DD is 9yo, she is playing with friends in the playground and one girl says to DD "try and pick me up". DD is quite a bit smaller than all her ffriends. So she trys, staggers a bit and they both fall over with DD on top of this other girl. DD giggles at this point as she thinks the falling over was kind of funny. They get up, the other girl seemed OK at first but then decided her leg hurt a bit and she and the other girls decided to tell the TA that she was hurt. Now the TA is the mother of the girl with the hurt leg. So this girl goes to her mum, starts limping when seeing her mum and is now crying, tells her mum that my DD has fallen on top of her and that my DD then laughed at her.
Sounds like my DD was now too upset to stand up for herself and say she didn't laugh but was generally giggling. One of the other girls did try to stick up for DD but was ignored. Sounds like it was quite a severe telling off and has left my DD very upset.
A few minutes later its end of playtime and girls have gone inside. Another TA who is good friends with the first one (but nothing to do with DD's class) then corners my DD in a dorrway and tells her off again.
I'm very annoyed. There seems to be a total lack of imapartiality by the TA as her DD was involved. I don't think the girl told her mum it was her who asked to be picked up. I don't think that its fair having an obviously upset girl told off by 2 TAs. If they do feel the need to tell her off then surely once is enough. Its taken DD nearly 2 hours to stop crying.
DD is normally fairly friendly with this other girl, they have the occasional spats as kids do. DD has been saying recently that the girl can be a bit mean and physically push DD and tell her to go away. DD had already told me that she didn't feel she could tell the teachers as they're all friends with the girl's mum.
