DS1 is in year 1. His Teacher is lovely, the children all love her.
She has been off sick for the last 2 months. She is human, people get sick, and kids do carry a lot of diseases. Prior to this, she has been very hit and miss, in for a few days, off a week.
The thing is, the children in the class are getting very distressed about it. Every day they have a different supply teacher, there are children sobbing and clinging to parents.
It's not the supply teachers fault either, they have all been pretty nice, it's just there is no continuity IYKWIM. DS1 used to love school, but is getting increasingly reluctant to go, and his behaviour is getting worse.
Is there anything I can do about the situation? Would writing to the head help? What should I say? I've had a word with the TA, and she said she was getting fed up of it too.
Any tips on helping DS? he is obviously stressed about the whole situation.
