Sharing SATs results

[Netmummy1]

I need some advice! My child got her results yesterday. They were given to her at school on a letter. However, another mum on the playground asked her what she got!! Am I being dramatic but I have always told my daughter we are proud of her no matter what. That her results are
private. If she had told the mum then it would be a different matter but the fact the other mum asked her is what has made my blood boil. I wouldn't dream of asking her daughter. The mum is one of her friends but my daughter didn't even get to tell us first! I think it is a fine example of being damm right nosey! How should I handle this as I'm acutually fuming inside...

So did your daughter tell the other mum?

I think its a bit of an overreaction tbh. I work in primary and our playground was full of sats talk after school yesterday.

Were you with her at the time? Its all in the tone, if she had said "what did you get? My kid got xyz" that is totally different to "are you happy with your results love, glad its over now eh?"

No, I wasn't there. I just think is playground gossip of who got what, who passed, who didn't - it's nobody else's business!

The mum crossed the line asking your DD, but I wouldn't be fuming. If anything I'd feel privately smug that she wanted to know - I'm guessing that your DD is bright and the mum wanted to compare. Not saying that's right though!

Let it go. It does feel quite inappropriate to ask a child their results, but if she was a friend, then she may not thought it was not acceptable. Lots of people talk about them. I would just let it go and move on. I don't think it is significant enough to make a big deal out of it. Hope you DD was happy with how she did

Ok, so I need to cool down then! My daughter did well as I'm sure her daughter did, but I wouldn't ask! I don't care what anyone else got! There is enough pressure in the classroom without other parents sticking their noses in! 🤣

I think you are right not to have asked and made a big deal, but I'd say on this occasion just content yourself with the mental moral high ground

I agree with onvacation. Why does it matter that someone else knows how your DC performed? It doesn't change anything does it? Unless maybe they won't be your friend if your DC isn't a grade 5 er.

Luckily my dd was at her induction week so we collected her results, so have avoided all the 'what did you get?' talk.

Just on FB instead. Keeping well out.
