Hi. DDs teacher has been off since before Xmas. DD is in yr 4. The class have had supply teachers ever since. Some they have had for as long as 2 weeks. Others have been odd days here and there. Went for parents evening and saw the head. I raised concerns about reading level of the books she was given which she agreed were justified. Dd seems to be making good progress.
However DD is forever coming home with tales of bad behaviour. Today she says she has done little work and spent the day reading and dodging flying elastic bands. I know she is a fusspot and drama queen to some extent but the consistent tales are getting me down. I don't know any other parents of children in her class to ask if they have heard anything. A friend of mine knows someone with a child in the same class and so she is going to do some digging.
If the tales are corroborated how would you handle it? I'm a teacher myself but secondary so the long term absence of a staff member would not have the same impact in a child as this is having. I have already been in ince to express my disquiet about the lack of stability (this was 2 weeks after Xmas) and I don not want to be causing trouble.
