Stroppy Parents

Why do parents think they can talk to you just as they like and yet would complain like mad if I spoke to them in that way!!!!. I'm so absolutely cross about one particular parent. I have taken over the class from another teacher as there are quite a few specail needs and behavioural problems which don't appear to have been addressed before. I keep asking for adivice from SENCO ( I am an NQT too!) but not much happens. Both time I have spoken to this parent he is really rude and deffensive, claiming I don't care and the last thing was 'you're the teacher what do you want me to do?' when I asked him to have a word with the child about putting things in her mouth! If I did…

Hi, I'm trying to keep my prospectus up to date but we've had nothing so far from Oxfordshire LEA to let us know what our funding per child is next term. Does anyone out there know what it is per child per session?

Hi everyone, Had a meeting today with our Chair, following a steering group meeting re our move to a school site.

The provision will be for 26 children a day, we will have a kitchen, with low level work units down one side, so that the children can participate in cooking activities and adult sized units down the other, space for a oven, fridge and washing machine. The main pre school will consist of a wet play area, plus carpeted area. There will be three toilets and handbasins, a quiet room for small …

We have had some bad news today; the Chapel in which we are situated has decided to suspend services with a view to closing. There is to be a meeting in March for the final discussion. The Minister is very anxious that we will be allowed to stay - he really likes us being there and is happy that the building is being used to benefit the community. He's going to put this view to the Ministry circuit or whatever they are called, as they will in all likelihood become the new owners of the building. So, a couple of scenarios will arise from this, 1. that a new letting agreement will be drawn up with the new 'owners' and we will have sole use of the building, which they wi…

We were talking in chat last night abour our Nursery World exploits and were talking about the next chance for an exhibition-based get together. So this is it, we think - the Education Show in Birmingham. Obviously this is a much bigger show so if lots of us are going we may need to agree a meeting place/time etc. Here's the link to the web page. I like the show planner where you can enter all your requirements into their search facility and it will plan your visit to the show so you don't miss anything you might be interested in. Its just a pity mine would take three days to complete... So what do you think - who is up for our second Forum social of 2…
