Kindy teacher screaming at my daughter.

Answered 4 years ago

My 4 year old is always saying her teacher screams at her, she says it everyday and tells anyone we meet ‘mrs .... always screams at me’
What should i or could i do about this? So far ive just been saying ‘well i hope you are following the rules’ but now im wondering if i should mention this to the teacher, what do other mothers think?

That's tricky. Speak to the teacher, kids can misinterpret situations. Worked in a centre where I had to raise my voice with some kids or they wouldn't listen.

My daughter kept saying her teacher yells and screams all day, not at her, but at naughty kids. She said she yelled so much that the kids would cry and she says horrible things to the kids, not normal yelling like a mum might do. I decided to become a class helper to spy. Unfortunately I got given a morning where the teacher was out of the class. One day another parent I know from a class two doors down said she feels sorry for my kid having to put up with screaming all the time. She said it wasn’t just the screaming, it was the words she was saying. So my daughter was not lying. Several parents made complaints to the principal and the teacher was fired.

My point is, believe your child and investigate.

Maybe she’s loud to the class given there’s a room of kindy kids. Your daughter might find it difficult hearing the teacher with constant back ground noise.
Speak to the teacher but in a way that you are concerned about her behaviour and hearing as I highly doubt a kindy teacher would scream at one child all day and the teacher would not teach alone, like someone else said other staff wouldn’t sit back and allow it.

Ask the teacher about it.... I don’t think that any of the other teachers or centre director would sit back and let a colleague constantly scream at children, but you should definitely address it. Did your daughter say why she screams? Hopefully she just has a shrill type of voice and when she is calling out to kids it sounds a bit screamy.....

When my daughter was younger she was scared of a teacher at school (not her teacher, the teacher taught the classroom next door) because she thought that the teacher was always angry and yelling. Turns out she just spoke very loudly, her father had hearing issues!!

I'd be in touch with the school, set up a meeting with the teacher and take it from there. Children can often exaggerated issues (or lie) so it's important to hear the other side. Don't go in assuming the teacher is in the wrong. Kids should enjoy their experience at school so you need to sort it asap. Good luck x

Don’t do this, speak to the teacher first and then if you feel there is more to it make an appointment with the principal. Consider talking to the other parents on what their kids say about the class.

Look at that. Both responses say talk to the teacher 🙃

You definitely should talk to the teacher. Your 4 year old might say the teacher screams but the truth might be different. Sometimes when I talk to my 7 year old in a stern voice she accuses me of yelling when I’m actually not. .
