See thread above.
Yesterday class received notification that the said teacher is, for personal reasons, resigning of immediate effect
It's been a really hard year for everyone concerned, two families withdrew their children and it's left my child and many others extremely reluctant to go to school.
I am really relieved that finally there is action.
I've kept everything light and positive with my child but I really want to remedy the fear of school and catch up on the lost concepts (there was barely any work recorded in the books)
Any advice ?

Often when this happens, something has been going on in the background for a while but being kept confidential. It could be that they have been working under a competency situation for some time, with the school insisting that they improve or be taken to a competency hearing for dismissal. It would be quite usual in that circumstance that the teacher will realise that they are in serious trouble and resign in the belief that they will be able to get another job elsewhere.

Undoubtedly,adnission , I was one of the complainants and know of several others.
I'd really like anyone's suggestions on how to turn this around for my child. She has really missed out of a lot of learning but more startling het selfworth is so so low. When I'm gently trying to do some work with her she bursts into tears and says she is no good just like the teacher said.
My happy go lucky eager learner has been reduced to such a sad soul. I'm at a total loss of how to put her back together
Just getting her into school is a mission.
Every morning there's several others from the same class being cajoled in.
Hopefully they have found someone to take over who is kind.

I’ve taken over a couple of classes in similar circumstances. New teacher has a tough job ahead. I didn’t read the previous thread - what year are they?
The most successful change we had was by managing to get the class on a fairly last minute adventure week. We didn’t go away but had loads of water sports, forest school stuff, hikes etc. Almost like ‘unschooling’ for a week before starting new routines and structures for work. They were year 4 and did well as a class in the end.

The year six class I inherited once who’d had 19 different teachers in their schooling (not including any daily supply!), didn’t recover in time.

What age is she?

She is in year four.
We haven't been told the strategy for Monday, I'm guessing it's a supply.
It would be wonderful tp have a residental like you suggested parrot, but I don't think she'd go . She is honestly in bits. The teacher was so unprofessional that it seemed the children whose parents complained were targeted.
I'd an idea to send her to her Granmother's (ex teacher ) during the week and let her start the term fresh in September
My DH thinks its a bad idea.
I know in my previous post , I got flack about parents witch hunting teachers but I wouldn't have made a complaint without genuine concern.
As it was the situation was far more grave than I imaged.

imagined.

You should not do what you are thinking in terms of sending to Grans. Firstly it will cause further problems with school that you and your daughter do not need. Secondly in my opinion you will not solve the issue that way, it is far better for daughter to be part of a whole class who are getting support both from each other but also outside.
I think that you might find the school have recognised the depth of the issue and that more support may well be offered.

what subject is this by the way OP? Is it a language by any chance?

Just noticed you said yr 4 so probably not.

We had a similar problem with my DS school, rubbish teacher along with a school in special measures. My DS had always loved school and really hated it because of the teacher. Luckily for him an amazing teacher was recruited, who was positive, engaging and 'got' all the kids straight away. I can't tell you the difference it made. He was in Yr 4 as well and the turnaround was almost immediate. I hope you get as lucky as we were!

just to reassure you, my dcs are in a good school, but dd1 in year 4 had the year of horror.

Their nice teacher left at Christmas, then they had in a teacher who was asked to leave after 8 weeks, one reason being he never marked a single piece of work. Then another teacher for 6 weeks, who was an 'interesting character' and she just didn't turn up again after Easter.

Several children with additional needs, including behaviour and several characters who clashed badly and were fine in a calm organised classroom, but who by this time were free to kick off and cause chaos.

Then, the final straw, there was a horrible car accident outside school and one of their class was killed.

After easter, when the teacher didn't turn up, the school pulled out all the stops, head (who was brilliant classroom teacher) came in and took the class. In September they were allocated the most experienced teacher in the school, and my dd who was quietly hiding in a corner, was, by October blossoming and a different child. The class was transformed, and they became a lovely class.

Don't despair, there is plenty of room for change, don't worry about the work at this point, just concentrate on being positive and let the new teacher win them over.
