My DS is 6 and currently in YR1. The school is a CofE small primary (64 children on roll) and he is in a R/Y1/Y2 mixed class. with 2 teachers who split the week and a full time TA.
This time last year i started to be spoken to by the teachers because of his "silly" behaviour in class. They assured me that they were not worried, it was all part of learning to accept school rules and they just wanted to make sure i was on the same page as them and would support what they were doing at home. Of course i agreed and we started a sticker chart and i asked for a note in his home-school communication book each day to let me know how he had been (which the staff never did). I had a copy of the class rules stuck up in the kitchen and we talked often about how we must do what teachers ask us to and we must listen etc. etc.
sadly this years things seem to be getting worse, regularly i have been spoken to by the teacher when i pick him up from school about his behaviour, they assure me its just "silly little things" but never tell me exactly what has happened.
we then had a meeting with the head about his behaviour who basically implied that i did not discapline him at home! all that was decided was that we would all be firm and follow through on consequences. and she stated that if he is outside her office for behaviour for 4 seperate occasions this would result in a half day exclusion! - He is 6 FGS!
but its not getting better, he is still getting in the "sad pad" a lot and had been outside the heads office twice in the last fortnight!
what do i do? he is challenging at home but i manage him, he is quite a bright boy i think and i am wondering if the class is not challenging him enough? a lot of the behaviour seems to be reported as "he did his work and then did X...Y..Z and was naughty" how do i know if this is the case? or even if it is the reverse, is he finding the work too hard and so acting up as a cop out?
they are still saying that they are not worried, and he will come around, but im worried! this is not the boy i know. im terrified he will end up believing that he is a naughty boy and so act accordingly. i do not want this to set a precedent for the rest of his school life.
i have a parents evening tomorrow so any input would be much appreciated.
anything - im not precious and will take on board anything you have to say
