To expect dd's teacher to pronounce her 't's

[paolosgirl]

DD (8) has a newly qualified teacher this year (who looks about 12, LOL). She is in love with her, but came home shocked that Miss X says swee'har', le'er, bu'er etc (I'm forever telling DD and DS to say t when it's in a word)

Would it bug you too, or am I turning into my mother?

Caroline - at DD's school they use something called blended phonics. Now, I have absolutely no idea what that means, but apparently it's a fantastic system. Certainly DD's reading ability to date has been a testament to it.
