OK I've posted about my DS1 & his class before but its just not getting any better.
DS1 is 8 so in Year 4, his class is notorious as a 'naughty' class & certainly has a lot of boisterous boys in it (31 in class). His class have been told by supply teachers & the PE teacher that they are not coming back as the behaviour of the class is so bad. There is a new Head who appears to be cracking down on behavioural issues as 2 children in DS's were suspended last week, so there's a bit of a no tolerance policy going on.
So you know a bit about my DS, he is not sporty, he is quiet, is in the G&T club & every parents evening the teachers say he is a pleasure to teach & sits in the class fizzing over with ideas.
Here is the teacher turnover so far:
Reception - 1 teacher
Year 1 - 1 unqualified teacher who was fired at Easter & replaced by supply teachers
Year 2 - 1 teacher
Year 3 - 2 teacher job share, both left by Christmas so supplies then another teacher who stayed with them until the summer.
He started year 4 2 months ago & the class teacher has been off sick since the middle of October so there is a stream of supply teachers & no word when the class teacher is back. I was hoping he would be back after half term but he's not. When do I get worried about DS's continuity of education or am I being precious?
I know bugger all about this, with all the supply staff is this having a detrimental effect or is it OK?
