To be annoyed with teacher re inappropriate language

[shoogalypeg]

My DD 8 has an ongoing feud with a girl in her class which came to a head today so DD and her friend got told off for arguing with the girl (no issues there, I don’t know how teachers cope dealing with the petty stuff kids fight about) the problem is she told the girls to “stop being bitchy”

my issue is:

1. This is totally unprofessional language for a teacher to be using
2. Sexist language like this has no place in schools

now do I have a word with this teacher directly and risk getting things escalating (we’ve had issues in the past) or should I go directly to the headteacher to deal with it.

(for what it’s worth DD doesn’t tell fibs and is BEGGING me not to say anything as she fears reprisals from this teacher)

Oh your daughter tells fibs. In fact every story she tells you is carefully crafted so she doesn’t look bad.

She isn’t a bad kid, that’s just what they do.

You need to do is speak to the teacher and ask her what the situation was , what was said on all sides and what actually happened. Don’t come off half cocked being a snowflake over poor choice of words - if that actually happened.
