I was in a charity shop yesterday and one of the volunteers was telling the other how her 5 year old daughter had come back from school saying she didn’t want to go in again. Turns out the teacher had told her off for talking in class. Said volunteer said she was ready to go into school ‘to knock the teacher out’ as ‘she’s 5 for god’s sake, give them a break!’
I have a child who’s 5 and although I’d hate to see they’re upset, I’d expect the teacher to tell them to stop talking as that’s what’s expected. I’m not a teacher myself but felt the mother’s reaction is everything that’s wrong at the moment with parents making complaints about all kinds of trivial things. AIBU?
