Help....How can I keep my cool today when I go and see my daughters teacher for parents evening?

[icemaiden]

We had a meeting with the teacher and the deputy head at the beginning of the academic year as there was a mix up with my daughters homework because the teacher mixed my daughter up with a girl of the same name! And she still did not admit to it! And it's gone downhill from there.

She demoralises my child when she attempts to answer a question but gets it wrong. She clearly has her favourites that are always picked for special outings and to help her with demonstrations, which makes my child feel like pond life.

She has to be one of the worse teachers around. Unapproachable, very patronising towards parents and pupils. Will argue black is white. She has made my daughters year at school a very unhappy one, and her work has suffered, which was so disappointing for us as she had a great year the one before.

I know I should speak to other parents to see if their children are also being treated this way but to be honest I am not one of these "Clicky" Mums, So I don't feel I can ask them.





I'm sorry, but I am working myself up even as I type.

Any suggestion would be great guys.

Just read this thread. What an awful teacher! I hope you have had some luck, if not don't be afraid to go above the school and to the education authority.
I really hope this gets sorted for both yours and your daughters sake.
