Are teachers allowed to keep pulling pupils about?

I thought not but could be wrong.

Ds teacher pulls the children aboutexample

  1. if they are not listening she puts her hand on his head and turns it to look at her face
  2. if he has his hand up to ask her a question when he is busy she pulls that hand down and pulls the other to make him sit crossed armed 3.if naughty just takes their hand and pulls them to the naughty place.

She told my ds today that he is not allowed to have help in his spelling group anymore because he laughed at another child.
She calls me in for the silliest things and speaks to my son in a tone i find rude and i wouldn't listen to her either if she spoke to me like it T.B.H

She sent my eldest son to the reception class because he wouldn't listen to her and she says he is away with the fairies.My son has dyslexia.

I find this behavoir soul destroying and not a good way to earn respect from your pupils really.
Have i got grounds to complain??

I would certainly raise your concerns with the school, yes.

I would not expect/allow a teacher or anyone else to treat my child how I would not treat them. My child is just a plain ordinary child but as you say in your last paragraph respect will not be forthcoming when treated in this way and I had to speak to a head about a similar incident which happened on more than one occassion. Go to the head, if the school is any good none of this should be allowed.

she has this way of making me feel like a bad parent because he won't listen to her.I doubt my parenting style t.b.h.

I treat my children as little adults almost.I talk to my children as i would want to be spoken to myself.You wouldn't put up with a boss at work talking to you like that would you?

He is not over naughty and he is not a rude child either.He is getting a real hard time.

It is not just my ds that is getting this treatment a few of the other parents feel the same and one has already been in to the head.Her child nearly wet himself because he was scared to put his hand up.

My ds had a pound coin taken off his desk as well and when he told her she told him to be quiet and sit down.It wasn't that she didn't care about the coin it was that she didn't listen to him.She told me he had an oppertunity to tell her wen she was less busy but,he was too scared too then because he had been shouted at

is she allowed to touch the children in that way?

I think it's the way she speaks to him that would concern me rather than the fact she touches the children - taking them by the hand to the naughty place and turning their heads to look at her to get their attention wouldn't bother me all that much, but the fact that children are too scared to speak to her because of the way she speaks to them would give me cause for concern. I agree with other posters that you should raise your concerns with the head.
