I would ask them about it, and I would like to believe (until told otherwise) that is was a genuine mix up. Even though it had her name in it, it was probably written by an admin person, who wouldn't have known if there was a mix up of books..
Good point. I think the office lady think mum looks after them, or something... she's got me confused.
The school rang me when DD2 got sent to the sick bay on Friday. I couldn't get there, but said I'd ring a friend on my contact list, but she's really sick & I'm not sure if she can do it. Also said mum can't get in coz she's too far out of town now (an hour away).
Then I find out she rang mum anyway & when my friend showed up, they asked if I'd rang her, or if mum did... they had no reason to ring mum, unless they rang her first?
There have also been times when DD2 has come home saying she was in the sick bay & that I was supposed to pick her up, but I recieved no phone call even though I never left the house
Hi darl
I'm a teacher and at every school Ive been too, we choose the books based on the students we are awarding them to. I always like to choose books based on the students interests and the level they are at. I would definately follow it up as there may have been a mix up. Good Luck!
Forgot to update. We took it back the next morning. The teacher didn't understand why she was so upset.
He told her that was fine, that they'd choose another one. The thing that really got me... 'you can have a chapter book & even if you can't read it, we'll work up to it'. Its got me wondering how much attention he pays to her...
She chose Tashi. Its a series of books & she already has one here. She was given the first one at last years presentation night.
I've had him say a few things to her he shouldn't have, so I'll be going up there again next year.
Yeah, I'm not sure if he is completely clueless, but he's made little comments before that I don't agree with.
Telling her I should've taken her to the gp when her ears were blocked after a flu, even though I have been dealing with her hearing issues for nearly 6 years & know that at that point it would've been pointless.Telling her I should've kept her home for a cough, which was an asthma cough, not that bad & not contagious!
Its not so much that he says them, its that he says them to her, giving her reason to come home & tell me I'm no good & that I'm doing everything wrong
I think he's just too young to understand the age of these kids & how impressionable they are. Its about time he did some learning I think. If he's going to be teaching kids this age for the next 40 odd years, he best start learning how do deal with them now..
