This isn't right is it? DS hasn't had a reading book in a week now. Apparently they're supposed to change them themselves when they want to, but no-one told us that. DS didn't have a clue when or where he's supposed to change it.

And after DH talking to the teacher and finding this out yesterday they still didn't manage to get him sorted with a book today.

I know they've probably told him he can change his book, but he clearly either didn't hear or didn't understand or didn't remember in a busy school day. I'd expect someone to notice DS hasn't had one and prompt him. Just saying, right, does anyone want to change their reading books now would be enough to make him remember.

Obviously ideally you'd want them to do stuff independently, but they're not used to that. Is my DS the only 5 yr old who'll need showing what to do a couple of times before he does it independently? He hasn't been shown even once because the only book he had so far he got at the library with the TA as they used to do last year.

I can think of many fab teachers along the way including a few who went far above and beyond their remit to help me achieve top academic levels and gain access to one of the hardest professions to enter. This was In an ordinary comp. I can think one or 2 that weren't doing a great job (generally men coasting to retirement) but generally I think teachers do an amazing job for very scant reward.

It appears DS wasn't the only one failing to get it, they've now changed the system so they're all changing books together on specific days Smile
