WHO IS THE BEST????

[alexsmum]

Opinions needed please.
If a reception teacher has a 'pupil of the week' award for her class of 4 and 5 year olds, should she
a) make sure that every pupil gets to be be it at least once
b)just give it to whoever she wants to, even if it means some children get it 2 or 3 times and some never?

Alexsmum, have just spent ages reading most of this thread and just wanted to say I'm thrilled you had the courage to go and talk to the HoR and that your ds got the award...fab news!
God forbid, anything else happens with this teacher you MUST go and talk to her. As a teacher and a first time mum I was appalled to hear what she's been saying. I don't think it's necessarily true that you need to have kids to be a good teacher; my friend is 27, no kids and one of the best reception teachers I've seen...I've also seen the reverse! Remember that teachers are just human beings who you SHOULD be able to communicate with and USUALLY a parent who comes to you(as a teacher) for whatever reason and is polite is welcomed!
