Does Teachers Bother To Look At A Childs Report
Just wondering when a child aged 9 returns to school after the summer holidays and enter a new season and teacher, does the new teacher bother to read the childs report from the previous teacher?
Our daughter had a glowing report, they couldn't praise her enough, shes helpful, engaging, etc etc.
But since she's started the new term, we noticed she seems upset when coming out of school, and shes not the happy girl we knew before the holidays, in fact yesterday she said mummy I don't like school, I don't want to go.
But this not like her at all.
She said my new male teacher is quite strict, and not nice.
Wouldn't teachers benefit from reading a child's previous report to see and gauge how to move forward with each child.
Or do they start with a clean slate?

How is a child supposed to feel other than confused and upset?
When you concider she has only aged by 6 weeks between terms, but the new teacher expects her or all the class to suddenly be more like adults is ridiculous to me.
Children don't go from childlike to adults in 6 weeks.
it wasnt llike that muum - so we know the other side of the story?
if it were a post-it at my feet and from a next door desk then handing it back wd be minimal
if it were from across the room and she did a take from "flight of the bumble bee" then it might
I think the lesson is 'grin and bear it: there will be lots more to come'
From what I can gather from Daughters explanation, it was a piece of paper the other girl was reading her show and tell from. So my daughter thought without giving it much thought, oh I better pick that up for her.
It was nothing more than an act of kindness which my daughter has a reputation for.
Then the teacher shouted don't be disrespectful while the girl is reading to us.
Thats the thing that really got my blood boiling.
Canary42,
Thanks, we will do this diplomatically.
Its difficult when your a parent because you get all over protective, and its difficult to keep tempers in check.
But I will simply put the question to the head misstress, why did an act of kindness turn into an act of disrespect in one go.
I mean my daughter could have just turned a blind eye to the paper dropping, but I get the impression this needs nipping in the bud, because it could manifest itself, or it highlight the way this particular teacher deals with things with little compassion or empathy.
We shall see tomorrow.
