First of all, I know I'm an over anxious mum OK? Which is why I'm doing an AIBU.
Primary age DD brought home her reading book 2 weeks ago. We read it over the weekend, I filled in her reading log each time we read from it. Sent it back into school on Monday last week. Only 1 comment in the book from school. All the rest are mine.
Old book no longer in bag but no replacement reading book as is the usual school routine. No comment in the log to show she'd read at school again.
I left it until yesterday (over a week since she finished the book), but still no reading book. So this morning I sent a note into school with her, just to say 'Can she have a new reading book please?'
Got a phone call saying we still have the book. We don't. It was in her bag every day until it disappeared which is what I explained in the phone call.
AIBU to think it was bad of the teacher to just not provide another reading book? Or at least ask me to return the book at pick-up?
As it is, we use the library all the time and read lots, twice a day (before and after school). But some families don't. And without the school prioritising reading, some of those kids wouldn't read at all. How can the school just leave it without saying anything? I didn't know the book was missing. I thought they were going to replace it, the way they always do (this is the usual routine).
Next time (if it happens again), I might just leave it and see how long they leave it.
