well. went to dd1's class first and was told that the gap between her and her peers development is getting bigger, she is playing up big time, and isn't learning. Teacher said 'please will you read with her??!! I said 'i do' and she said that I hadn't written in the contact book, i said that the book was missing for weeks ( and she knew that) and I have been writing in the book recently. She then said that dd1 had told her that she didn't have to read and write because apparently I had told dd1 that she didn't have to learn because she can't do it..!!!!!!!???? that is a load of rubbish and I told the teacher that, I said that we are always telling dd1 that she has to listen and behave and learn... I can't believe that the teacher believed dd1 on that one...
She said that dd1 is getting on with her 1-2-1 and she mentioned that it was 45 minutes a day, at which I wrinkled my nose, and the teacher had a go at me about it, I just said 'look i know its not your fault or the schools, its the education dept, but 45 minutes a day isn't enough' god i can't stand that teacher.
ds' report was good and his teacher is very pleased with him. I read his work and was very impressed with one piece of writing he done on his alphasmart.
