To think that DD's teacher is being a mardy old cow about this?

Had a slight run-in with DD's school yesterday.
We spent the weekend with my brother and his DP in Liverpool. Normally, we would head back in the late afternoon, but DD (and the rest of us) wanted to see more of the spider and decided to stay for the La Machine finale. DD thoroughly enjoyed herself, and so did we.
Because we were late home, DD didn't have time to do some homework worksheets she'd been given. I wrote a grovelling letter to the teacher and said that DD would do them that evening, and explained what had happened. Yesterday, when I went to fetch DD from school, the teacher asked for "a word" and got quite shirty with me, saying that it was not my place to decide whether DD did her homework or not, and that I should just make sure she did it. I tried to explain that it was an impromptu thing and that I'd been intending to get home in time for DD to do her bloody worksheets, but the teacher then criticised me for keeping DD out late on a school night!
AIBU to think that she is being a bit nosy and judgemental? You don't get to see giant spiders every week and this isn't a regular occurrence. Today, I hid in the car and waited for DD there, which I know is childish and unreasonable.

Agree with parcark - maybe you should have got your DD to do her homework before you went away?

Next year she'll be in Y7 and there will be much less slack.

Thanks Hippipotami!

seeker - nope, not Evelyn either!

YANBU

offs year 6 isnt exactly a "the rest of your life" year is it?

i could maybe understand if she was about to do her exams

hold your head up high and collect dd from scool apu. dont let mardy teacher control you!

This is silly, I know, but I'm still hiding in the car park at home time! I hate confrontation and don't want to sour things between Tiny Clanger and her teacher. She (teacher) is new to the class and the school and I suspect, not very experienced. Tiny Clanger actually really likes her and enjoys her lessons, although she does seem a bit obsessed with homework.
The finale was absolutely worth it - I still can't get the spider music out of my head and the general hugeness and attention to detail was mind-blowing.
