to think my DD shouldn't have been punished for saying this ?

[spiderpig8]

That her drawing was rubbish ! She takes her art very seriously and rubbed out one side of a butterfly wing and said it was rubbish.The teacher told her that in school they weren't allowed to call their work rubbish and put her name on the board.Actually found this out from the TA.She is 8

'i am not saying that I want a detailed account from the teacher of everything that has occurred during the day, but if something has happened to upset the child then the parent does have a right to an explanation.'

That makes a lot more sense than
"I think a parent is entitled to know everything that happens at school with regard to their own child."
it also means that the teacher can perhaps put events in a different context to the one given by the child.

Like the time I subjected innocent little children to constant electric shocks? Throughout the entire trip?
And was phoned at home by a furious mother threatening to have me sacked, disembowelled and burned at the stake?
It was static electricity, caused by the PFB in question sliding her feet continuously on the museum's cheap carpet and getting shocked when she touched something. And ignoring my explanation. Then going home and telling mummy on me.

Think I did phrase that clumsily. Sometimes children do get upset by things that happen during the day at school and don't mention it immediately to the parent.Maybe this is why the TA told the mum. I do acknowledge that there more professional ways of objecting to the behaviour of another staff member, but perhaps TA didn't want to go down that route and make his/her concern formal,whilst still wanting to voice unease at how the teacher had dealt with the child.

I should add that we have recently withdrawn my DD from the school and it was after that that the TA told me.

You should have added that a bit earlier in the thread, I reckon.

To me, maybe it was the fact she called her work 'rubbish' as some people see this as almost a swear word.

When did this happen, and when did you withdraw your DD from the school ?

and under what circumstances did the TA tell you about it ?

Isn't all the time people took to advise the OP talk to the teacher slightly wasted as we now find her DD has been withdrawn from the school.

I am the a person that always went to the school and challenged anything I thought was amiss when it came to any of my DC but there must have been a lot more the TA said to cause you to remove your DD.

i didn't really think it was relevant.I didnot ask people whether I should go and talk to the school or not , just whether they thought it was a reasonable stance for a teacher to take.My reasons for deregistering DD1 are completely seperate to this (they are on the bullying thread) but could I respectfully ask you not to discuss those reasons on AIBU.

There is no way that anyone could judge whether or not the teacher behaved reasonably without knowing her side of the story - and we no cannot know that because are no longer at the school. So the whole thread has been a complete waste of everyone's time.

dd had a dragon teacher last year who insisted on sending home verbal messages and putting dds name on the board for minor infringements like me forgetting to send forms in etc. Children were constantly told their name would stay on said board until the issue was resolved. We were told that both staff and parents should use the reading record book. I took great pleasure in composing hate mail notes to convey my contempt for her chosen communication style.

Send the teacher in a note along the lines of 'Dear miss/Mrs x, your name will be staying on our board until you learn to communicate with dd in a constructive manner'

Well I'm very sorry seeker.I'll ask your permission before I post next time [rolls eyes emoticon]

shes proberlie just a bit shit

Did you ask the teacher about what happened?
