Afternoon all!
So i've had concerns that dd isn't mixing well at school and have done really ever since she started in january. I've asked several of her teachers on several occasions whether or not she has friends etc and they're reaction was always something like "yeah she's doing fine and she's mixing well". Dd kept telling me that nobody was playing with her and nobody liked her, but is rather dramatic and was going in school and coming out of school happy, which is very telling. However, at parents evening I brought it up again and her teacher told me that she's a bit of a loner and finds it hard to maintain friendships
. Obviously, I said that i'd mentioned it on several occasions and this wasn't what I was told and I got a reaction of a few nods and "oh right". So I wanted this to be monitored and she suggested that we met up a week later to discuss, which I thought was reassuring I suppose.
So a week later she bascially tells me the same thing and then brings out this list. Apparently at story time the teacher asked all the children "who here plays with x(dd)? who here likes(dd) x?"
There were a few other children on the list who also had this method used on them because their parents also had concerns about their dc's mixing and I know that they have SN or are being assessed. Talk about being singled out?!!
Am I over reacting? Or is this really out of order? Has anyone heard of this method?
