DSS is scared of his teacher

[Vari757]

Just looking on some advice on the best way to approach this.
My DSS is 8 and he has expressed a few times that he doesn't like his teacher since he started in his new class but ever since Christmas break he has been saying that he is scared of her because she shouts so much and he now doesn't want to go and crying before he goes in.

I've tried to get some more detail on why he doesn't like her or why he thinks she's scary but he just says he doesn't know.

I've spoken to his dad (my DH) and told him I think he should contact the school but we don't have any specifics in order to make a complaint or start any kind of discussion.

What do people think the next steps should be

Make an appointment to see the teacher to discuss how he's feeling. When I was 6 , 7 I had a teacher who was very shouty and sarcastic not suggesting that this teacher is like that but it ruined my experience of school to this day if I see her it makes me mad that my mother thought she was a great teacher.

Just saw this was from last month , so op has probably spoken to the teacher, I hope he is feeling more comfortable at school now
