Our dd is in year 1 and is 6. She is a well behaved child, has been "Star of the Week" before and although I certainly know she is no saint, she is being brought up to be respectful and polite. It was 3 weeks ago that she was suffering with a persistent cough but was in school as loves school in the main and doesn't like to be absent if at all possible. Anyway, it was assembly one morning and she started to cough quite early on....however, she tells us that the male teacher who usually takes the assemblies (ex Head, who left his post there due to stress) was furious and chastised her to the point of tears.
She told us asap that day and was most upset at being picked out in front of the whole school and told to sit elsewhere. I was furious and decided to consult with the
teacher concerned. I was as prepared as I could be bearing in mind his reputation as an aggressive, bad tempered and volatile individual. I was shocked with his attitude towards me especially as I wasn't rude to him at all, not my style. He didn't let me say a word hardly and was totally aggressive, angry and defensive. She had a cough and he clearly labelled her a demon child! I decided to not pursue it but monitor situation....however I've picked up info yesterday that he was very humiliating to my daughter and I now feel I SHOULD consult with the Head! She is very approachable and professional. Is it too late now though, really and should I just let this one go?!
