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?

Read what naomi said - it's spot on.

I think my point was her act of kindness which she would have been praised for in the previous class, now suddenly she was being blamed for being disrespectful and distracting others. 

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. 

Remember, many teachers are far from perfect. Indeed they're often failures from other professions. Life is currently teaching your daughter a painful but useful lesson, something you can explain and provide support for. Sometimes the only answer is to grin and bear it.

Kids eh? etc.

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'
