teacher taking P*** out of minor speech impediment

[fullmoonfiend]

dS2 8, struggles wth 'sh' sound, comes out as sark rather than shark for example. Teacher's surname starts with sh and she has been 'telling him off'' in front of the whole class apparently on a regular basis. I am aware of his problem and while it means he's never going to get a job as a Radio4 announcer, he is very articulate and noone has ever highlighted it as a problem before. And I do try to gently teach him to make the sh sound.
Is it right that she should humiliate him like this?
I feel so angry on his behalf, but as she is the SNECO, and not just his year teacher, we will not be able to leaver her behind at the end of the year and forget about her. (DS has dyslexic problems for which he recieves extra help). I really want to go and rant at her, but feel this might make things worse. Tactful suggestions anyone?
(DH suggested teaching ds to enunciate ''go SHHHag yourself Mrs Ssssshhhharp'' but gratifying though this might be, I feel it's maybe not the best approach

I think you should go straight to the head, let them have a stern word with the teacher. She is being completely out of order to your DS, unless she is confronted, she will continue to act this way towards him and to any other poor child thats needs her help. Maybe they need to get a different SENCO that knows what they are doing.

At DD's school, there is a SALT that attends the school one day a week to work with children with speech impediment's. I wonder if they have anything like this in mind for your sons school?

Now that i think about what we have learned from ds's SALT isn't "sh" one of the last sounds to be learned?

And there is no reason why he shouldn't have a radio career. Jonathan Ross does!

This is unproffesional. I am a nursery Nurse and was taught at college that you should never correct a child. But just speak correctly when you speak back to them. I would have a word with the teacher.

okay fullmoon. So I think we can see that it's not an exaggeration, but I still think that you should speak to the teacher in the first instance and then go to the Head.

If you do end up talking to the head then ask her what they are doing about the teachers page that getbaka quoted.

I do think it's important to go out these things in the right order, despite our anger.

I'm sorry that that teacher doesn't have the sense she was born with.
