My dd started reception 2 weeks ago, and her teacher is so 'wishy-washy'. Before starting we had a meeting with her where we asked what kind of things the kids would be doing, and she just looked at us blankly and couldn't come up with an answer.
Then my dd comes home and tells me that no-one plays with her which just makes me so sad (v. frustrating as you can't do anything). She is really friendly and loves to play but only on a 1-2-1 basis, she goes off if someone else joins the group, but I thought that in reception they were supposed to help children with social stuff. Her teacher and assistant don't seem very pro-active. I told her to tell an adult if she was in the playground and couldn't find a friend to play with and that they would help her find someone. She did tell an adult who just said 'go and find one then.'! She couldn't tell her TA or teacher as they weren't in the playground at the time. Am seriously thinking of changing schools.
My dd does seem to be okay at school, but I think she could do better somewhere else, or are they all like this in reception?

Don't like my daughter's reception teacher - am I overreacting or are they all like this?
