No satisfied with being labelled a dizzy mum – you know, the sort who regularly forgets inset days and mufti days, that sort of thing. I have now taken my first steps to being labelled a difficult parent at The Boy’s school. ffice I nearly started on the road to being a difficult parent by adding comments to the ofsted questionnaire. Unfortunately, due to my dizzy mum status, I completely forgot which day the inspector was coming to school and by the time I found out, the meeting had been and gone. Anyway yesterday The Boy brought home his reading folder as usual. We sat down to read the book and within minutes it became clear that the book was particularly gory. It was about smugglers being hung, ambushed by excise men, shot etc. It was complete with scary illustrations and descriptions of the sea water being red with blood and other niceties. I took my mighty pen and wrote in the reading comments box that I found the book inappropriate for a six year old. The teacher might have read the comment; tonight’s book was awfully babyish. The Boy is going to hate me…
Motherly faux-pas

(17.3.04 00:02) go on you go in and sort them out, At least you are a mum that hears your child read and can write a comment in the reading record. Today I discoverd a child that could not turn the pages of a book becaus e he never has books to look at at home! |

(17.3.04 08:51) Great job, stroppy. What was that teacher thinking to send that sort of book home with a 6 year old? |

(26.3.04 13:56) Please, please don't be so hard on the teacher. We're busy, busy people and, just like the normal human beings we are, some things get overlooked. I often find it hurtful to find 'snotty' comments in a child's reading book - it paints us teachers out to be bad people when 90% of us honestly are trying our best. Sorry to moan but I'm feeling vunerable today! |
