Just not sure what to do about this, or whether to do anything and just hope it blows over.
DD was upset on the way to school today, she took some Scoobies into school with her to play at playtime. She's not the only kid who takes them and they are allowed them.
She says she was lining up at end of play and holding the scoobies when the TA started shouting at her to put them away. DD says she didn't know what to do as couldn't put them away as she had no pockets and they're not meant to leave the queue. So she stands there with them (she's in Yr 4). Then TA "shouts" at DD "I'm sick of seeing with you with them, this is the 8th time I've told you" and took them off her.
DD so far hasn't been given them back. Now DD can be a bit sensitive sometimes and I'm happy to take any "shouting" accusations with a pinch of salt. She will interpret a firm telling as shouting. But I'd quite like to know what the TA expected her to do with them, plus I'd like to know if she's getting them back.
Anyway another parent came up to me this morning and said had I heard what happened as her daughter had told her that mine had been told off, etc. So it does seem like it happened more or less as DD told me.
The TA has a child in DD's year and DD is meant to be going for tea for the first time in a few days. She's now saying she doesn't want to go as she's scared. I've told her not to be daft and that teachers are different out of school, etc.
Another factor is the fact that my DD has been falling out a bit with another girl at the school. Nothing major, just low key girly squabbles and I think they're maybe both as bad as each other. But when DD has been falling out with this other girl the TA's daughter apparantly is going to her mum and saying that the 2 girls are squabbling and its upsetting her. Not that she's involved in the arguements. So I'm a bit worried that this TA is now labelling DD as a trouble maker or something. Though maybe I'm just been a bit paranoid.
Should I talk to DD's teacher or just hope it blows over?
