you did the right thing... if you have given the details to the school and they fail to pass on messages that's a problem with the school communication... What happens if it was something more serious??? Like an allergy or something...

You have every right to be angry with the school, and the teacher had not right to humiliate her in the middle of the class.. that's not right.

You did the right thing calmly complaining to the school about the lack of communication. The teacher should never have shouted at your little girl in front of the class. At her age, things like that can really affect you. My sister used to have a hearing problem when she was little that didn't get picked up until Primary Two. This was obviously years ago and things that were done then would never be allowed now - for example, the teacher would make my sister stand in the corner because she 'wasn't following instructions.' The rest of the class thought that my sister was badly behaved but that wasn't the case.

Just remember, most teachers are not like the one you have encountered and would never humiliate a pupil in front of the class. Possibly, you are right and that she was just stressed out by the behaviour of others and just snapped (not an excuse though). I am a teacher of Secondary school aged pupils and I know that if you are teaching a disruptive class, you can occasionally forget things when you are trying to deal with both teaching and certain behaviour issues. I think sometimes, people need to remember that teachers are only human and sometimes are put in extremely trying environments. The excuse people commonly give is, 'well teachers should learn to control the class.' If you look at how much the government has hampered the rights of teachers, then you would understand how difficult 'controlling' the behaviour of certain pupils. This often leads to less attention being paid to well behaved pupils such as your daughter. Again, not an excuse, but possibly an explanation for what happened.

Poppy i so agree with you, I worked in school before i had Jack and it used to get me really angry that parents would be saying that teachers/staff should be doing this that and the other..
I used to think(still do actually) behaviour control if you like strats at home and you shouldn't dump your child at school and expect them to sort it!!
Do you know what i mean?

Em seems a lot happier this past week or so s, so am just seeing how we go TBH

That's good, I'm glad things worked out.
