Concern about school

Charjofilit

My daughter went back to school last week. I finally got chance to speak to one of her teachers today. 

The teacher advised that Wren had some difficulties today when starting a new subject, ICT. Nothing unusual about this, especially being a Monday. Mondays are not good, usually.

Then the teacher told me that she said to Wren that she had to stop crying and had to be more grown up. Also, on the way home, Wren told me that her teacher told her to stop being a baby. That's when I started getting concerned.

I mean, I'm new this. Most of the time I think that teachers know what they are doing, and do thier best. But today I'm questioning thier professionalism and wondering if I need to call in for a meeting to discuss this? I'm not sure what to say if I do.

  • Hi welcome. How old is your daughter?  What provision is made for your child at school such as a TA well trained in autism perhaps?   If you check out this site via the home pg for info relating to schooling there shd be a lot of info which will be useful to you, if you don't know already.  Also there are posts which refer to provision for autistic children in mainstream.  I'm presuming it is a mainstream school.  If none of the teachers or TAs are trained properly in autism then they will analyse/see her behaviour differently from someone who understands autism.  They will "see" her through neurotypical eyes + draw their conclusions.  As you are aware, they are treating her wrongly.
