Should I tell my DD's teacher that Dd thinks she doesn't like her?

[fruitcorner]

Does it sound a bit wet? My DD in year 2 keeps saying that her teacher doesn't like her. DD has been told off a few times lately by the teacher and this seems to have triggered this. Should I mention it to the teacher? I want my DD to leave year 2 with happy memories iykwim.

I think at this time of the year it's a bit late to do anything other than upset the teacher.

Is your DD being told off for a good reason, or does she think she is being singled out unfairly?

Is it worth the hassle for the sake of a couple of weeks? If the teacher sits her down and says "Mini-fruitcorner, I do really like you" will your DD believe her?

No. Your dd's only got a couple of weeks left. I'm sure that she's got some happy memories.

I'd like to know if one of my class was worried about this. And no I would not feel it too late or too wet.

Yes. I see no harm in this at all.

Actually, I said something similar to ds1's yr 1 teacher. I'm certain that she doesnt like him. But it gave me the opportunity to raise the concern that ds1 was aware and she has made more of an effort since then.

I don't really expect all teachers to 'get', understand or like my dcs. Though am sad that she can't see what a fab, interesting and funny boy he is (though with some issues relating to g&t/sen).

She is being told off quite fairly , I have no problem with that but I thought the teacher could perhaps be more positive about other things DD does so she can feel she's liked, not necessarily sit her down and tell dd she does like her! Perhaps I am being a bit precious!

Yes tell the teacher. I am a teacher and would want to know. Then something can be done - subtly!

I raised this at the end of the first term though. Unfortunately the feeling is mutual - although no antagonism or misbehaviour on his part and no outward dislike on her part.

He's really really looking forward to next year (fingers crossed not another personality clash).

Please would someone expand on the reasons for mentioning anything at this late stage of the term? Isn't it just too late?

DS (7) told me last night that he now knows that I don't love him because I sent him to bed 30 min early without story because during the course of the evening he had been rude several times and found it all just very funny. It has been sorted out and today its all forgotten.

I would ask DD what exactly makes her think that and then tell the teacher diplomatically. Your DD may feel treated unfairly, which may be justified or not or the teacher may have had a bad day and snapped at her? Just ask if anything happened, can't hurt and may clear the air.

Agree actually that there's little point in mentioning now.

I would and did about two weeks ago, my y2 boy felt the TA hated him - and only him.

To be honest I think she does ! - He has quite a challenging personality.

I did have a catch-up with her and she followed it up with a 1:1 - my lad felt much better and very much more reassured.

However I did chat with him about how TA will soon go back to snapping at him and that he aught to reign his competitive streak in.
Pretty soon TA was back to general snarliness but at least we could all laugh about it at home.

What good is telling a teacher that your ds thinks she doesn't like him going to do....ever?
It's like telling your husband's boss that your husband thinks the boss doesn't like him.
You just don't go round saying stuff like that.It's antisocial, may not be true, and is likely to hurt the other person's feelings. Everyone has to accept that there will be personality clashes throughout life.
Also, it may just be your child's perception of something that's happened that day - children have a totally different perception of time than adults. It is probably not true at all.
Are you going to tackle anyone your ds decides doesn't like him over the next few years?
