My daughter always tells me everything that goes on in her class – who’s been naughty and what they did etc. There’s a very disruptive boy in my DD’s class (year 4) that has been using inappropriate language and gestures. Sexual stuff. Plus all the swear words including the good ol’ c-word. He also sings stuff like “smoking weed everyday” (although I expect he doesn’t know what it means) and says to the girls “I’m watching you females” (I’m wondering if he’s watching adult video games?). Also, I was helping in the class the other day and he was told off for mucking about and I saw him do ‘thrusting’ behind the teachers back (all the other boys all laughing at his naughtiness) which I found really distasteful (the teacher didn’t see). A friend of my daughter’s recently asked her mum “what does this mean?” with that hand gesture of the index finger going through a hole made with the other hand (ie F**king) – and yes it was said boy who was showing her this. He is a very angry child that flies off the handle and lashes out at times; however, he is not stupid. I understand that his parents spit up last year so I guess the upheaval could be problematic for him.
But this behaviour isn’t right is it? I don’t want my daughter to see and hear stuff like this from an 8/9 yr old boy. Should I tell the teacher or is it none of my business?
