Private school feedback

DD graduated from a minor day school, got into uni and told me only now that her school teachers, worried about their rating, actively bullied pupils 'to drop the subject' if they were inclined to believe that it might not be an A*. They accosted pupils after classes, invited them for 'chats' and kept expressing concern over how the pupils were coping. I am so shocked because I thought if you pay the full whack, you will get something in return. My daughter did get to uni of her choice, so de facto there is no damage, but my daughter says she has been harassed for almost 6 months by her teacher to drop a subject, she was so taken with anxiety that she hid nosebleeds from me for the duration. We paid one set of tuition fees only, though. Today I find out that a friend of my daughter's whose parents paid 4 sets of tuition fees for all the siblings, btw, hid at another friend's house, pretending to go to school for 2 weeks because of the bullying of her English teacher to drop English - and that was a subject she needed for uni!!!!! What do I do? Do I write to school, telling them? (my DD says obvs, mum, they know) Do I go on social media and post this? Do I just drop it? I am so angry. My daughter says she did not want to tell me at the time because she did not want them to 'eff up' her UCAS application and me starting a fuss thus increasing her anxiety even more.

There us no way a school would tell a student to drop English at gcse and presumably only at A level if they were doing 4 and therefore overstretching themselves so I wouldn't use someone else's alleged story in any feedback by which I assume you mean a complaint.

If you feel you need to complain about your daughter's direct experience then yes do so.
