My 5 year old child is refusing to do the
teacher's work since end of last term. At
home, there has been no change in her behaviour. At pick-up time, when her teacher dismissed my
little one,
she came around in the school premises,
while walking away, she called me and asked me if my husband mentioned it. She
began the conversation in front of my child -( which I thought was not right at that time. I only knew that she refused to do the work since last week and I was not aware that it's been going on for longer. I told her we had a chat with her on Sunday. Then she said that my child smirked and doesn't
obey her or the TA and that if she continues, not only would she keeps missing
breaktime, she would be called in HT's
office and do work there. A senior came in to observe and did confirm this. My child
had a not so bad year during reception with some mornings, not wanting to go to
school. This is continuing this year; she
counts the days until weekend or half term. She said she does not like school and find
it boring. I am not happy about punishing
her by getting her to miss break time. How does this help? I just think it's unfair as to
her missing break time because she's
refusing to do work. Surely for a 5 year old, there must be some other displicinary code....also she said she had to stand in the
corner. I just find
this unfair for a 5 year old. What's your
thoughts?
