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?

this is the same daughter that had a frank and open conversation with your regarding her disgust at having a sex education lesson?

Update:

Daughters meeting with headmistress went well.

She reasured daughter that she will have a chat to the teacher to try and establish why he shouted at daughter, and said he probably misread the situation, but assured her that if shes got future co concerns to come to her.

So we won't know the outcome of headmistress and teacher just yet.

But hopefully we have nipped this in the bud.

We look forward to updates about your child throughout the school year.

Renegadefm, you've done the best thing in talking to the headmistress. Addressing issues a child may have rather than leaving it and letting it fester is wise.

naomi24,

Thanks, hopefully things will settle down now.

I think the shock of how a different teacher can be difficult for some children to adjust to.

I think some teachers can have expectations which are too high for some children.

It goes back to my other argument, children are forced go grow up too fast these days, and I'm not the only one who says that.
