[QUOTE="Malika, post: 459546, member: 11227"] Thanks Marguerite and Ktllc. I am going to sound very cynical but I am not sure that I am entirely trust this teacher. Which is British English for "I don't trust her" :) Without feeling like it is an extreme problem. She was hitting J, I went to see her and she of course denied it, while making very clear with her body language that she felt implicated and disturbed by what I was saying. I do think she and the other teachers call it punishment - this is standard language in schools here and J cannot have made the word up himself since he uses the French word and must have heard it at school. I think she is very concerned to cover her back because, as I said earlier, she nearly lost her post years ago because she refused to believe or take seriously the fact that a child had dyslexia. That said, I think she is a very conscientious and committed teacher in her way - very interested in children learning and progressing - but not particularly "child centred". Again, that is probably not so unusual. When I talked about the fact that J had started saying he didn't want to go to school, she was rather dismissive, saying something to the effect of "Oh you don't want to listen to what a four year old says"... I do think she is genuinely fond of J, but she seems to complain about the three boys in the school, including him, who are very rowdy, aggressive and turbulent. Who can blame her? :) I just think she is more interested in academic stuff than psychological or behavioural stuff. [/QUOTE]
