     This is a TA who’s been with my kid for over two years now. She knows her. Every single week, she has a clean reading record. Fuck knows what she was thinking, but Mrs G and I are very much not happy.

     The kid also got an achievement badge today and this totally ruined her evening. She now thinks she doesn’t deserve the badge because she didn’t do the homework she actually did. FFS.

     Teachers have it really hard, but sometimes I could just scream.

     9yo has to stay in at breaktime tomorrow. Told us in floods of tears.

     But why? Because the class’s reading books are always checked on Tuesday, so she religiously fills hers in in Monday. Yet this week, they were done on Monday by a TA, so she’s been ‘punished’ for only doing one day of reading. She reads every single day: school books; library books; comics; magazines.

     This… does not seem the way to encourage a child. But with wonderful timing, it’s parents’ evening tomorrow…
