My dd aged 7 has been one of several chatty girls in her class who have been moved around the classroom about 5 times in the last 3 weeks in an attempt to cut the chat.
She now finds herself in the front row next to a recent addition to the class. I saw this boy for the first time on pick up today without knowing who he was. He was yelling angrily out of the door for his mum who wasnt there yet, he then barged past the teacher and wandered off in the playground on his own in the pouring rain. Teacher gave chase.
Asked dd about him, whe said thats who she sits by now. Asked what he was like. She said he is always singing rude rhymes to her and distracting her. She wrote down what hed been singing as was too embarrassed to repeat. To paraphrase it was about a finger up his ass and his balls in a tin. Silly but also massively inappropriate.
I wondered how the teacher hadnt heard as in front row. She said he leans sideways towards her grinning and says it in, not a whisper, but so the teacher cant hear. She said he grins about it and her and her friend laugh in an embarrassed way. She says he does it a lot.
So. Im going to email the school. I dont think dd should have to put up with that. What do you think my approach should be? Not to drip feed but two families I was friends with left last year due to unresolved bullying in this class, luckily that class has moved on (it's 2 years per class), but I already a bit up in arms because of this.
