Higher teacher assistant called my 6 year old an idiot

[Mumsonthewarpath]

Last week a mummy friend heard this teacher call a young boy stupid, idiot and disgusting. He thought my little boy yesterday so I asked him if he liked this teacher to which he replied no, when I asked why he said he's mean, again I asked why and my little boy said he'd called him stupid. My little boy is 6 do that's bad enough but my little boy also has adhd. A few parents have come to me and said their child has heard him call other boys these names so it seems to just be aimed towards boys. What are parents veiws on this matter please as I actually want him struck off.

I'm a teacher and a parent and if my child or any other child was called an idiot I'd be furious. I'd also be furious if I heard a colleague saying it to a child. This HLTA is clearly in the wrong job!

He won't be 'struck off' however I'd think he'd have a warning.

Thank you for your comment. I'm hoping something gets done as I really don't think I could allow him to teach my child again.

The only way you get to decide who teaches your child is if you home school!

With that attitude calling people hitler and telling them to fuck off, it’s no wonder the head hung up on you.
Call me whatever names you like, but at the end of the day, if this teacher does need action taken because of his behaviour, they way you are going on, sounding ridiculous and unreasonable means that your complaint is less likely to be taken seriously.
You say you are sticking up for your son, and defending your flesh and blood (who you would believe over all others bla bla bla bla). Well the irony is that you are less likely to be able to raise the issue and get the response you want because of your ineffective communication style and refusal to accept that there may be more than one version of events.
Someone said earlier you have good emotional intelligence, I’d say you have about as much emotional intelligence as the six year olds in your ds class, probably why your happy to be in on the playground gossip group.
Just a tip, Before you do have the meeting with the head, maybe try washing your mouth out so your language is a bit more acceptable.

If IF the teacher used that exact wording it's unacceptable. Teachers never, ever should call a child those things.

However. You've only heard one side, and as a responsible ADULT you need to listen to both sides before drawing a conclusion. More often than not in these situations there's more to it than meets the eye and you must remain open minded.

But if you insist nobody can name calm you and you call them imbeciles and Hitlers then frankly, you've lost before you start.

You will be labelled "that parent" and not taken seriously. Is that what you want? I'm sure not. So get a grip on your own emotions and be cool, clear and open minded.

Well, I was going to respond with how my school dealt with a similar situation hut your attitude is disgusting. If you speak to people in real life the way you have then I'd be surprised if the school even give you the time of day. You need to take a deep breath and calm down before you try to deal with this

Think you need to look at his earlier posts and my responses before you start judging me. I tried to explain the daily struggles my son has and all he came back with is that it doesn't give him an excuse to twat about. As a parent I'm only going to take so much from such a small minded person like that. Would a blind child be shouted at for walking into someone or something, no, because it's out of their ability to do so. My son does do stupid things and often gets hurt because of it but to actually call him an idiot is disgusting.

He's not blind?! A blind person can't learn to see.
Someone with ADHD can be given a range of strategies to help them with their behaviour.
If he continues to do stupid things at school he is going to get into more and more trouble. He won't magically grow out of this.

I'm no saint and I'm not going to listen to the person in question whom I said that to tell me my child does not have an excuse to tear about just because he's adhd. When he's naughty I tell him off and he goes without the things he loves the mist but I do it in a way that not belittle him and I do not call him an idiot. This teacher has been over heard calling boys the same thing last week and for some reason it's only aimed towards boys. Last week he was over heard telling his class of 6 year olds they were disgusting and were not coming out with him again, he then pointed to one particular boy and said you can blame that idiot.

Don't focus on things that have nothing to do directly with your child. It will make it look like you are off on a witch hunt.
Don't go on hearsay or gossip.
Focus on the facts.

So you want somebody to lose their job based on the word of a few young children?

Okaaayyy....
