To be fuming with this teacher.

[Thedarksideofthemoon30]

Yesterday it was my ds 11th birthday. He went to school so happy.

When he came out he looked so sad. He said the teacher had told him to shut up.

I asked him why she said that and apparently he asked her a maths question during the maths lesson.

We talked and he was still uspet but wouldn’t tel
Me why.

I had 4 mums message me last night asking if he was ok, it turns out another mum had put a post on the class Facebook group saying the teacher screamed at the class that they are all stupid, told ds to shut up and called him dumb.

I asked ds today and he cried saying he felt embarrassed. Apparently this teacher is a support teacher and when the main teacher is in the class she’s normal but as soon as he leaves she’s nasty and mean.

I’m going to ring the school this morning and so are the other mums.

I’m so upset for ds.

Serin, that is awful.. I think I would have taken that to the local safeguarding board, and informed the parents, as it is downright emotional abuse. I'd basically have been blowing the whistle from the rooftops. Poor kid, that no doubt affected her confidence and self esteem for a long time. I bet she has never forgotten that.

If a child asked me the up the arse question, I'd have thought that warranted a phone call immediately to the parent/s and an urgent meeting with them. It's cause for concern amongst other things when a young person speaks to anyone like that. Yr 9, we are talking around 14 yrs old? Definitely at the age where boys are often still very immature, however also at the age where they know full well what is inappropriate and rude, and need to be taught basic rules of respect so they don't grow up to be Donald Trump or Harvey Weinstien. 100% this.
