My DD usually loves going to school. However, since going back to school she has commented quite a few times on the teaching assistant in class (year 6). The teaching assistant has said a few things that has bothered me. At the start of term the teaching assistant was teaching the class new rules and explained about the 5 Bs. Which is something along the lines of Brain, Board, Book, Buddy and Boss. The children were told to use the 5bs in a particular order when working. My DD went through the Bs and still needed help so asked her buddy. The teaching assistant basically told my DD off for distracting the pupil next to her. When my daughter tried to explain she yelled at her and said 'don't answer me back, ??? is a good boy and you are disturbing him'. On another occasion the teaching assistant said 'good morning' to my DD and because she didn't answer she went into a tirade of 'how rude for not answering me' etc. There have been lots of other similar things like this and she seems very old school and not nurturing and kind. It seems to be turning my DD off wanting to go to school. She seems to be constantly commenting/finding fault with my DD. If it was just one single thing it wouldn't matter but every day there seems to be something she has shouted at my DD about.
