To be furious with my sons teacher

My son been back at school since last week. He attends 3 days per week so matching with his sister. ( I'm a front line key worker with homeless do work late long hours but have them home when I can )

He was off yesterday missed a maths class. Today the class was doing more work on what they learnt yesterday.
My son (10) who already struggles but always tries his best with school missed 1 question and got the others wrong. The teacher turned to him in front of the wholemail class & said you've got nothing right I'm dissapointed & he has been so upset all evening since.

I know how much he struggles with his learning so as long as he tries (& he really does) I am happy
I am furious right now. The class is small (only 10 pupils) there is a teacher & teaching assistant aibu I'm thinking rather than telling my son & breaking his confidence she's disappointed. one of the adults in the room could have spent 10 min's helping him to understand the questions and you know teaching him?
I am so dissapointed with the school & their supposed home learning which we have been trying to do. I thought if a child didn't know something the teachers job was to teach them not make them feel humilated & crap.

Teacher was out of order, not an acceptable way to speak to a child.

However, you being a key worker is irrelevant to this scenario. This is a gripe of mine that people seem to pre-curse complaints or AIBUs with as if they are some sort of higher power.

@Doggodogington

How about making shit up to match your agenda.
Is that clear enough for you?

Many teachers have said that this isn't right, but you appear to have missed that in order to promote your agenda.

How did the call back go @allthingsred? Did you get things sorted out and is your DS happy to return to school?

allthingsred · 12/06/2020 17:25

Call back didn't happen as teacher was away in the afternoon & have had no contact today.
Yesterday my ds had a much better day. He was proud of himself for getting over 60% In a test that he usually gets less in & he worked on on. & he got a question right when asked. So I've decided to monitor the situation. & if it happens again then pursue.

Like I said to him as long as he's tried his best & is happy within himself ( which he was yesterday) then I'm happy too.

I'm quite glad I was able to vent on here. Think it's the 1st time I have properly. I get v lioness when i see the kids upset.
Thanks for all advice.

That's a shame. Hopefully they'll call back at the start of next week.

It's good your son is in a happier place and is feeling better.

Sometimes it's good to talk and get things off your chest. FlowersBrew
