Does this teacher sound mean?

[Stoptheworldiwanttogetoffit]

Dc in Year 1, she came out of school crying today, very upset. She said the teacher had taken a stamper thing off her and will give it back to her tomorrow afternoon. It was one I got her from a recent holiday, which made her more upset. She said a new boy in the class had asked to use it so she wanted to be kind and gave it him. He apparently was messing about with it and the teacher asked whose it was and took it away. Dd also said today another girl brought a book in to school and was showing Dd, then Dd got told to put it away, in a harsh tone.
She was also doing her homework and got quiet and said she didn’t think the teacher was impressed with her work, I asked why/what made her think that and she said she didn’t know, just a feeling she had.
Does all this sound like usual classroom goings on and Dd just had a bad day?

If she had it out of her bag then she WAS messing with it. Also, no way did a 6 year old say the teacher used a ‘harsh tone’ or that the teacher wouldn’t ’be impressed’.

Can teachers do anything these days without being criticised? No bloody wonder they’re leaving in droves.

So often in these cases, Mummy gets the "edited highlights" with salient points omitted.
Is it possible that this is not the first time that your DD has sneaked some gewgaw into class, and that previously she has got the item back at the end of the day, with a reminder "not to do it again" which she blithely disregarded as she didn't have to go home without it?

Are you saying i’m lying? She said it, she says a few things like this, it’s not shocking.

You, the parent, set your child up to fail. In future, send your child to school with only the bare minimum of things they need to get through the school day. Young children will of course prat around if allowed to do so, and as a responsible parent it is on you to instill the correct study ethic in your child. That begins with the removal of temptation, the provision of adequate grooming, and encouraging punctuality and obedience. Well, as far as is reasonably possible for a young child.

In future, do not provide your child with toys for school.

As a teacher, this. I once had a mum provide me with a PowerPoint to show the class to help her child find his missing Spider-Man toy he’d brought to school. Use it as a learning moment, why does she need a stamper at school?

How long before you stopped laughing 🤣

The teacher doesn't want children to bring in toys from home as they are distracting and they can get stolen or broken. That would upset your daughter far more than not having it overnight. The teacher is basically trying to teach you and your daughter that it is best for toys stay at home.

I’m a teacher. My rule is that so long as it’s not causing a distraction then I don’t mind.
I’ll give a warning then I will remove it.
I ALWAYS give it back at the end of the day.

You shouldn't be sending your DD to school with toys. No, the teacher doesn't sound mean.

Think yourself lucky that it’s just a little stamp toy. My dd found a stash of money, that was from family for her birthday and money from her savings, ready to go to the bank. Took it to school undetected and handed out 10s and 20s in the playground to all the other children. Had parents messaging me at home time promising to return the money that dd had kindly gifted their dc. 😂 not the point of your post I know but just thought I’d share. We all go through stuff like this at some point. You just have to let it go and encourage your dd to move on
