Help please!! Foul play, teacher marking work fraudulently

I would like some advice on what I should do. My DD is in Y5, they have finished their end of year tests for Maths and English. The teacher had lost a few of the children's test answer papers, so he has given one of the children the opportunity to do the test again. However, my DD has observed the teacher providing the child who had to do the test again with the answers. Now unsurprisingly, this child has scored 140 out of 140, this child also happens to be the 'teacher's pet'. Where do I go with this information?

The NFER Y5 maths tests are out of 140 (overall - there are 3 separate tests). We do them but they are only used as one of many different tools to help inform the overall teacher’s assessment.

I read questions aloud to any child who asks. If a child is struggling with a question during the test, I might prompt them a bit but make a note of it so I can work out their fully independent score.

Most children I've taught understand why this happens and trust me, as the teacher, to assess them all fairly. I’ve also known one or two think it unfair but they’ve been promptly corrected.

Thank you for the insight.

Yes, I know the teacher will also look after the child in their classroom after school as the child doesn't like to go to the afterschool club.

If your biggest concern is the safety of this child, you probably should have already reported this to safeguarding.
Does you DD know why this child doesn't like afterschool club?

The child is finding it boring at the afterschool club. But then I assume the other teachers will see that the child is in the teacher's classroom?

Again who told you the child found it boring?

you really seem to have an issue with this child, you’re an adult, leave the child alone.

Also, all the someone else will look after the child, so I don’t need to is when a child gets harmed.

What is your safeguarding concern @TM80?

Her concern is that the teacher is giving the child help to get good grades, no concern for the child whatsoever!

If you have a problem, noone else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you could hire ... the A Team.

Epic reply. 😂

@BiscuitsandPuffin The boy was entitled to have a reader, maybe the school just needed to have a reason to get rid of you?

Wow. How incredibly nasty.

ChangeIsInevitable · 01/07/2023 20:52

OP you really do seem to know a lot of details about this child, how they feel, what they think and why they do/don't do anything. Who really is this child to you and how do you know these information? Is your daughter that's telling you these things and why? Are they friends? If not, how does she know all these and can you really trust that they're accurate information?

ChangeIsInevitable · 01/07/2023 20:53

Is your daughter telling you these things and why?

I don't know the Y5 kids, but she does from the clubs that she attends.

I smell bullshit.

🤣 this OP!

Maybe you should homeschool? Then you can ensure that your DC will be the teacher's favourite?

Or was the PPs comment about you and dc putting two and two together and making five quite astute and maths isn't your strong point either?

You certainly didn't get the chinny reckon reference- your response is bizarre. So actually, I take it back, maybe home schooling would be a stretch too far for you

Yes strange response... did they think chinny reckon was a racial/racist term? Chinese? Oh gosh this is getting ugly. Hope I'm overthinking though

Sunnysunbun · 02/07/2023 07:56

Call the cops.

Sugargliderwombat · 02/07/2023 10:54

Gosh your child reports an awful lot back to you about this poor child. Does your own child struggle with friendships? Most children are far too busy with their own business to be this invested in another child.
