Hello, looking for some advice on my daughter’s teacher. My daughter (8) has really struggled with her new teacher since moving up in September. Just a bit of back ground, my daughter is a good student, always winning awards for being polite kind considerate to others, goes out of her way to make others feel better which has always been noticed by teachers. I was warned of This teacher, as she is known to be “old school” keeping children in at breaks, shouting, embarrassing children infront of others. Children have had to move schools due to the teacher. The first week of school in sept, she told my daughter off numerous times in space of the week, for being to slow on her work and telling the whole class to blame her for making everybody late to break.( That’s just one thing as I’m sure I’ve lost a few readers by now) a few things like that, defiantly got my daughter in the wrong foot with her teacher. This upset my daughter very much. I went into school, sorted it and the teacher has been better with her but still shouts a lot of embarrasses the other children (other mums are also onto the head about this) my daughter for the first time ever has been showing anxiety, worrying to go to school, crying on a night and a morning she said she is worried all the time and is just waiting to get shouted it. The school now want to try and build her confidence but my concern is that the only reason her confidence has been shattered is due to her, I’m thinking of changing my daughters school. What are peoples opinions ? Also worth mentioning she has this teacher all the way to y5, as it’s a small school so not like they’re changing in September. What would you do, take her out, there is another school not far and I know a few people who take there children there and it is apparently better of the two. I want to change her schools but I’m hoping for some other opinions.
so sorry it’s long just trying to give a vague idea of what’s been going on.
