My daughter was diagnosed last year with TS with some ADHD/ODD symptoms. She is 7 so we have just made her understand a little bit about her tics that if somebody asks about it just tell them its your habit. But her teacher seems to single her out in the class alot. She had been sitting alone in a separate corner of the class because she doesn’t get along with other kids well. We spoke to the teacher a few times regarding this and spoke to the principal as well and finally after 2-3 months they made her sit with the class. Its a private school, so in the beginning of session we provided all the school supplies but the tecaher doesn’t give her any markers or colours because she breaks the tip.
Today the teacher asked my daughter to show me her fingers that were all green as she tried to pull out the tip of a marker that she took school from home. At home I made her write some lines and then discussed what happened at school. She told me the teacher took a picture of her hands.
I am writing here to get some opinion about the teacher’s behaviour. Is it ok to take a picture in front of whole class? Wouldn’t this cause emotional stress on a child that is already dealing with a neurological disorder and I have already told the teacher that her tics get worse when she is anxious or stressed. I feel like the teacher’s attitude is like a bully.
We met the principal last month to discuss the issues and the teacher had mentioned every wee bit of a mistake my daughter had made. I mean she is just a 7 yr old child. Does she expect her to behave like a grown up?
Please advise if I am acting weird or what I should do?
Thanks
