Teacher cannot find a way to teach my DD (10yrs)

25 replies

jandeb · 27/05/2007 23:13

DD is very clever and teacher/head teacher is pulling her hair out. DD can make the whole class have a bad day if things don't go her way, she is not selfish or nasty infact is very caring and mature in nature. I dont know if this makes any sense but every teacher she has had gives me the same exprection on their face. I could go on and on, does anyone know what I mean.

no, I'm not sure what you mean by "DD can make the whole class have a bad day if things don't go her way"

She also looks at things that happen and if something is not faie or just she will get angry and voice her opinion no matter where she is or who she is with

Hmm, sounds a bit like my dd1 (also 10).

RosaLuxembourg · 27/05/2007 23:22

I think you need to explain a bit more about what is happening with your DD. Do you mean she becomes disruptive when she is bored?

she is not disruptive as such, but being bored is not good, teacher gets her to tidy or sort things out when she is finished her work

My dd1 is very bright and finds school work easy, but the school is supportive. The voicing of opinion is also something she does.

Is the teacher not very good or is your daughter misbehaving or a bit of both? I'm not very clear from your posts. She sounds like a clever and spirited kid though.

This is the problem the teacher is very well thought of and has a good reputation in my area and DD does not misbehave she likes to keep other kids in order and tell them how to behave,

"she likes to keep other kids in order and tell them how to behave"

The teacher does?
Or your daughter?

Must be your daughter since the teacher is (presumably) noty a kid! Sorry.

no I am very aware of this we have spoke to a phycologist and we are working together to get the best for her but she is difficult to work out

I'm confused.

It's late, jandeb. Recompose this thread in the morning, and we'll try to be as supportive as we can.

I have 4 kids and she is the only one who ever causes a difficult situation. I am a good mum, and a good childminder with childcare qualifications.

I think there are plenty of people on here who could empathize and help - but I think you need to give a bit more information. Tell us a bit more about her tomorrow.

Desiderata · 28/05/2007 00:38

Sorry, jandeb. I didn't mean to sound dismissive.

I think I know what you're trying to say, but dd is a delightful enigma and we need more time to think about it. Post tomorrow and we'll be there for you
