^^^ Fantastic way to start a good relationship with the school that will be responsible for their daughter's education for at least the next five years (goes off to find a 'rolling eyes' emoji)
No, he’s bigger than me. The last time Madame annoyed him he bit her bum a week later. They’re friends again now.
😂
@hugo - well said and nice to hear the opinion of a teacher.
As a matter of interest, is that a copy-and-paste of the school's response, or a precis of it?
you will be able to watch the lesson live with your child at home, yes this really is the plan.
Off topic but important.
Our school has absolutely decreed this will not happen.
Safeguarding legislation, and being able to prove who has access to the feed at the other end of the web cast.
On topic - well said Hugo.
I’m going to respectfully withdraw from this thread as there are some details that don’t quite add up.
Trailwagger….. I hope you manage to find peace. I can’t image what it must be like to deal with some of the situations you have previously mentioned.
All I ask is that you remember that us teachers are here to help and what might initially seem as an over-reaction by a stressed member of staff, might actually have some value and might just be the tipping point that begins to sort some of these difficult behaviours out.
Often, it takes a lot of soul-searching and deep-thinking to finally acknowledge that there is a problem. (And a huge amount of fortitude to seek help.) Sometimes we can’t ignore the flashing oil light on the dashboard any longer. We just have to pop the bonnet and fix the damn thing! It’s a very brave thing to do and it sounds like you are trying to find a solution. I wish you all the best.
Good luck. It will be all ok in the end, and if it’s not….. then it’s not the end.
Just to add what Simon says - teachers are human too. Its not an exact science and they do make mistakes
don't risk blowing this up into something bigger than it is both in terms of what your daughter thinks and in terms of your attitude to the school.

I'm not sure what that means. Or the rest of your post to be honest.
I'm not trying to blow this up or make a bigger deal out of it than it needs to be, but I also don't want my daughters currently exemplary school record blighted by the over exuberance of one teacher on a bad day.
I replied to the school with this email.
Thank you for the prompt reply and for looking into this matter.
It is good to hear that the school aims to treat students in as grown up a fashion as possible. As a grown up myself I would be very upset if I was punished for such a petty and unintentional mistake as drawing on a scrap of paper with someone else's work underneath.
However, my aim is not to undermine the authority of you or your staff, so I will talk to **** and ask her to arrange lunchtime help with Mrs ****.
Thank you again for you help in this matter
kind regards
