The school had an open evening last night. I went into my ds's class room and saw another mum comparing her son's work to my son's work. Literally holding my ds's work in one hand, her ds's work in her other hand and holding them next to one another and discussing it with her husband.
My son has SEN, her son does not. I do not believe there is any other explanation than she was using my ds's work as a yard stick for what is poor work and comparing her son's work to see how much better it is.
Am I being unreasonable to be really annoid and upset by this?
However, to be honest, as I was walking round my dc class rooms, I too mentally compared their standard of work against other's in the class - although not any child specifically. It was more of a general comparison so see whether they were meeting the average.
