To think DD's punishment from PE teacher was draconian?

[moonlightshadow1]

DD is in Year 10 and came home quite annoyed about a punishment she got in PE for something very minor in the first place. Her teacher made her get changed into her PE kit at lunchtime (without any tracksuit in the cold wet weather), and run laps around the football pitch for all but the last 15 minutes of the break (so she could eat), much of it whilst the boys were having football practice, who apparently found it quite funny. Is it overreacting to think this is a bit out of order? I might not have been surprised when I was at school but I can't help be a bit annoyed, seems a bit like it was intended to embarrass her and unnecessary.

OnHold gobby/lippy same thing.

Bloody sadistic PE teachers - they make me sick. I have had run-ins with this breed of teacher - if it were me I would be there to stick up for her.

Your DD did wrong - that is not in dispute - but the punishment is pure sadism.

I think 'lippy' can be construed as 'gobby'. Or are they two different things?

SookiesSocks since she admitted having to sit out the lesson in the first place then that she stopped sitting with her legs crossed which the teacher then stopped the lesson to tell her to do again I can't see why that'd be inaccurate.

How is running a few laps sadism

Christ some of you are really overreacting.
And people wonder why teenagers are disreceptful and entitled these days

I dont think a bit of back chat makes her gobby. Still calling her gobby makes it easier to flame the OP.

Like Francis said the OP's daughter embarrassed herself. She talked when told to shut up. She decided to ignore the teacher's instructions again and uncross her legs. She then decided it's embarrassing to have to be told to cross her legs. Yes it is it's embarrassing she can't sit cross legged and has to be told twice to do something so basic after she walked into having to do it herself

Because you only have her version. She was badly behaved and i would not readily believe my child that there behaviour was suddenly perfect and innocent.

Unlikely given theOP has already described her as lippy, which is the same thing as gobby.

What happened to the person she was talking to/messing around with?

Gobby/lippy are they not the same thing? She back chatted a teacher to me thats gobby.

What is your problem with me OnHold care to have it out properly instead of your pathetic digs when i post?

I do wonder why the OP felt the need to name change for this.

FormerlyFrikadela01 'What were the teachers motives'...To get the Ops DD outside in appropriate kit to get on with her detention as quickly as possible perhaps?

My DD has a school tracksuit too, she doesn't need it for everything in winter. The teachers tell them what kit to wear for different PE activities, fair enough. No ulterior motive to it

The op has never said her DDs behaviour was perfect and innocent.

OnHold quite. I agree she shouldn't answer back to teachers, she doesn't often, it does happen and teachers definitely should pull pupils up on it, as I've told her. I wouldn't call her "gobby" and maybe "lippy" was over the top just meant that I know she's not some angel who's perfectly behaved permanently.

SookiesSocks yes but she admitted talking when told not to, and not keeping her legs crossed hence being told to again, I'd have thought it would be hard for her not to sit quietly on her own at the side anyway.

My problem with you is that you appear to be reading a completely different thread to me. Dear.

Also how did your daughter expect to be treated having talked when the teacher was talking then not even manage to sit as told?

FormerlyFrikadela01 I'm not sure, I didn't ask that, could be that only she was talking at that time.

Op, you have rather contradicted yourself. On the one hand, you describe your DD as 'lippy' and on the other, you state that she gets great reports from school. The two are certainly not mutually exclusive but clearly she is not behaving as expected in class. You are not going to find out the truth of the situation on Mumsnet - phone the bloody school!

Not at all there seems to be a number if posters that agree with me OnHold so maybe its you who is reading a different thread?

Are you going to make pathetic remarks to those posters too or is it just me you have chosen tonight?
