Hooray we got the DLA (or equiv.) but on the same day as DD's substitute teacher reduced me to tears!

So I pick DD up at lunch time and it's a substitute teacher. I ask how DD's getting on, knowing that it will be harder for her with a substitute. Said teacher tells me that DD doesn't listen, that she disturbs all the class and that she has "huge problems". Well, obviously!! So I said yes, it's obviously harder for her with a substitute teacher. Oh no, says the substitute, I've spoken to the other teachers here and your DD is like that with everyone. Great, so they all sit around in the staff room discussing my DD's behaviour or what?! I've even received the notes of the last school council meeting and it says they have two handicapped kids at the school, both in Petite Section. Well, DD is in Moyenne Section so does that mean they don't think she's handicapped??
However, I got home to a letter saying that we've got the French equivalent of DLA. So nah to all of them. If the bureaucrats think she has an incapacity rating of between 50 and 80 per cent (whatever that means!) then that ought to be enough for the school. Can't wait until her proper teacher is back - she usually goes out of her way to find something positive to say, even when she's discussing DD's problems with me!

That would make me VERY mad BD. I'd be wanting to complain to the head. How incredibly unprofessional of her, on so many levels.
Thank goodness you've got a good teacher most of the time.
