just dropped DS off at school then had to return 15 mins later with his book bag which we'd left at home. found him clustered in front of the computer in the corner playing some mindless game, egged on by his mates. by this time it was ten past nine - no great signs of the school day starting. er - that's not what i send him to school for! am i being a hopeless fogey?? i had a word with the classroom assistant (teacher nowhere in sight) and she said this only happened 'some' mornings. i remain unconvinced!
what do your kids do when they get dropped off into reception/year 1? my DD is in year three and there is no question of this sort of thing going on (she was in a different school at DS's stage). DS's teacher is a bit flappy and seems chronically flustered and perhaps just doesn't know how to handle boys - there are more boys than girls in his class and she seems to constantly change the behaviour rules and try different techniques to 'contain' them (rather like me at home ) which we parents struggle sometimes to keep up with. they are not especially unruly at all, and the class size is only 20. any teachers out there - your views especially welcome! cheers girls x
