TBH I dont think I'd bring it up with the other mums before the principal, you dont want the teacher to find out (if she is close to the other mum) and think you're talking about her behind her back etc, I think Id wait til school goes back and make an appt to see the principal as soon as you can.

I agree, just go to the principal

Just go to the principal and voice your concerns, say you are worried that she and Evan may have some sort of personality clash. She may be completely unaware she is doing it and might be horrified to find out how you feel.
Please don't get into it with the other mums, its hard for teachers when the mothers crucify us at coffee mornings LOL

I actually sat on it, then we had a thing with the bus driver which I couldn't let go. So I called & arranged a time to sit with the principal. While we discuss the issue with the bus I said there are are actually a few othe rthings bothering me. I told her I didn't want to be a wingy mum but went on about what was up, she was really go & said she would discuss it with the teacher. The teacher has been off sick though so nothing has been said yet.
Your right about not bring the other parents into it MrsMac and I will keep that inmind for future issues. Mind you if there are future issues may just explode in front of them all LOL.

Is the teacher that end of the week a casual or permanent?? When I have job shared like that I am the actual teacher and on my days off for maternity leave a casual came in. We job shared but it was my position IYKWIM?
BTW bus drivers are one of my current problems too! DD2 has had one that swears at the kids and smokes while driving!!

OMG your Kidding!!
My issue was the driver (one of 3) doesn't wait for the kids (remember this is a 5 yr old with a big back pack) to be seated before pulling away. Also (the straw that broke the camels back) he yelled at Evan for sitting on the back seat. this was only the 5th time he had caught the bus & he didn't know, nor did I or the other parent I meet at the stop know that the kids are not allowed to sit up there (school rule) & when Evan didn't jump up straight away he yelled again loud enough to be heard outside the bus to "get off the back seat NOW!".
I wasn't actually there at the time, DH had taken him to the bus & it was the other parent that pointed out it was Evan being yelled at. The other parent actually called & complained to the school before I got the chance too.
Oh also the fact he doesn't acknowledge the kids as they get on & as slim as the chances are of it happening (but never say never) if he crashed the bus after picking up these kids, how can he for sure know exactly how many had gotten on? Simply watching as the kids get on would be enough to at least have an idea that 2 kids got on KWIM.
I was talking with toher parents today & the bus driver came up & I was saying what had happened & I complained etc, I was told not to hold my breath to see any changes. I said well I will be & if they don't happen I will kick & scream. I am new tot he area & school so they don't know what they are dealing with! LOL I am willing to be the voice of many parents concerns who have just given up!
