Oh crap, my little guy turns 5 in 3 weeks, he had his first school visit last week, first we missed the staff by 2 minutes to take him to his class no prob the lady at reception took us, he was happy and had even found a friend fron day care, no sign of the actual teacher she and the principle and vice and so on were all in a meeting (libarian was in class room).Next minute the lady from the office comes in to inform us we are in the wrong room, so we follow her up 3 flights of stairs to another room to be told the renovations mean this will be the class room for the next month. Toilets down stairs. So here I am trying to just go with the flow. By the end of the lesson each mum was presented with photos of their child nice touch but I was told Kasem only had 1 this time and she would take more next time( others were givin about 4)
So next visit my boy settled in okay he doesnt know any kids except his friends sister, which makes me realise this is a year 1 and reception class???? The teacher was doing reading with the children individualy, my son put his 4 year old head down and I explained well He isnt up to reading yet, which she said, well he shouldnt be blah blah blah. I was not told of this nor that he was in with older kids. When I picked him up the teacher simply said he needs to practice his name (which he can do just needs some fine tuning)that was it, she then began to tell another parent all about her childs day. I feel let down, I rang the school aparently I will have a chance to talk to the principal next visit as he has had meetings. I am the only one whos first child is starting scool others have older siblings.
Needed to vent, but would love to here your opinions. I know I am sensitive, are all school this disorganised and is it my right to demand my son go into a full reception class.
