Now she's at school she's blabbing about what goes on at home!

[sorkycake]

Dd was standing in line (reception) to go in this morning when the teacher, in front of all the other parents, smirks and asks "what happened to your glasses?"
I answered bewideredly, "sorry?"
She repeated "who has the glasses with only one arm on them", shocked I replied "I do Ds snapped them a couple of weeks ago and I haven't had a chance to get to the opticians"
Bear in mind that by this point every parent was engrossed in the conversation between us.
Teacher smirks again and states very loudly "we know all about what goes on at home" cue everyone looking at me.

I asked Dd when she got home how she ended up telling teacher about my glasses and she flatly denied all knowledge of the conversation, which then begs the question
"what am I likely to face tomorrow in terms of revelations & has this happened to anyone else?"

not so much to me
but ds had a friend to tea when he was at primary and the boy told me all about the dope his dad smoked(had to quickly warn his mum) so it is not just at school

When my sisters (twins) were small a teacher commented on their nice pinafores my sisters smiled and said "Mammy ordered them from the club book"

My mum was affronted and for weeks wept about it lol. In those days only poor people ordered clothes from the "club book" (freemans)

when my sister worked in a preschool she said she was surprised at how much the kids revealed and knew parents would be mortified at some of the things that were told.

So they kept it to themselves and never let on.

I think that's pretty crappy behaviour from the teacher.

I would be having words with the teacher, FFS.

Hunker

Spooky.

so do I hunker, when I was a teacher a child bought some photos of the mum dressed in risque underwear for sharing time - imagine my horror as I opened the packet saying to the class... let's see X's pictures then...oh well maybe next time.

Giving them back to the mum was a bit embarrassing too!!!

MAS

Teaching is a vocation, you will always be a teacher,so surely you meant when I was teaching.

When my DS was in year One, she announced to the teacher "My daddy fancies you" She was a very pretty young lady and we had made a joke about it which she must have overheard.
Ouch.

I'd probably take her to one side and whisper, somewhat menacingly, "And she tells me ALL about what goes on in the classroom too, so shut your face, bitch, or you'll have a horse's head in bed with you in the not-too-distant future"

But I get the red mist, dontcha know

that's so bad

Children dropping parents in it from a great height in class, no problem.

Teacher embarrassing[sp] parents in front of parents out of order. IMHO

I cringe at the thought of some of the things my lads must have told the teachers over the years, somehow made worse by the fact that we also socialise with the staff.

Think the teacher was out of line tbh.

I made Dh take Dd to school today!

I think I'll play it by ear tbh, she may have thought she can make a joke, but if it happens again then I'll have a quiet word.

Dh laughed it off, but admitted he was glad it wasn't him! He reckons that the teacher must've sat through so much drivel from Dd to get that snippet that she'll lose the will to live waiting for something juicy LOL

Teacher was way out of order. If she makes anymore coments I would mention it to her if it continues after that I would take the matter to the headteacher. It is unacceptable to embarass(sp) parents like that.

Unless the child's comments lead a teacher to believe that there is a serious problem at home they should keep the kids comments to themselves.

I like it that the children tell the teachers what is happening at home & vice versa. It is an open dialogue of communication.
I've got a few friends who are teachers & some of their stories are hilarious. However, very occasionally there is the odd very sad one too, where alarm bells have started ringing & it transpires daddy is thrashing the living daylights out of mummy. Schools can help & support a child in circumstances like that.
Does it really matter if domestic trivia goes into school?

I'm shocked at the teacher's behaviour. Of course children reveal home life at school, but it's not the teacher's business to advertise it or comment on it unless it's something that could come under 'pastoral care' (like spotting abuse).

My ds's Reception teacher asked me, privately and discreetly, whether she ought to congratulate me, and when I smiled and thanked her, she explained that ds had been telling her that his mummy was growing a baby in her tummy. Apparently it often happens that children say that sort of thing, without there being any basis in fact, or, sadly, when the pg is a problem and the parents don't realise that the child knows about it.

I wouldnt mind about the telling, but it would piss me off that the teacher felt to mention it. It smacks slightly of a power game to me.

When I was at primary school my teacher congratulated my mum on her pregnancy. My mum was rather surprised as she wasn't pregnant - I think I had just got a bit carried away talking to the teacher because I really wanted a little sister.
