So this morning, my daughter who is just about to start in Year 2 in September, told me that another child threatened to hit her with piece of wood in the playground in the last week of term.
This child is known to me as they went to nursery, reception and Year 1 together and are in the same class so have played together previously. I have words with the teacher before as my daughter has come home in tears as X steals her things, X pushes her when she tries to play with some else, X hits her when they want a particular toy/book.
The teacher acknowledges X is challenging but it keeps happening. I’ve also spoken to the parent whose excuse is that X may be ADHD.
my daughter has said even said she doesn’t want to go back to school in Year 2 as she is scared and with a new teacher, fears they won’t know what has previously gone on.
i don’t want to be seen as that moaning parent and I want my daughter to be able to stand up for herself but when another child is threatening violence with a piece of wood, should I escalate to the head as well as her new teacher?
any advice or people in similar situations?
