Hi it is wrong for her to suggest that it is your daughter that is at fault for not answering the register, my eldest dd did exactly the same but her teacher told me about it and that she will do it in her own time like your dd she was a chatty little girl she would even answer questions but for some strange reason she wouldn't answer the register the funny thing is the more she didn't answer it the more attention she drew to herself, all the children would answer for her saying she is here and point to her. I think it took a good few months before she answered the register but they didn't try forcing her or make a big deal out of it. Just say to the teacher not to force her and she will do it in her own time. Sharon x

I think thats a bit nasty really your child has only started school last week and hasnt been there 2 minutes, i would tell her to give her a chance to settle in 1st, she sounds very insensitive!xx

My dd jsut started school last wednesday and today when I collected her the teacher asked me if she could have a quick chat.  She told me that my daughter wouldn't say good morning to her when she called the register.  She told me she is very strong minded and likes to do things her own way but now she's in school she has to learn to do things differently etc. etc.  I know how stubborn my little girl can get and up til now I have picked my battles carefully cos she can smell a fight a mile off and will dig her heels in over the smallest thing.  If I need to get her to do something bribery never works and I have to be a bit sneaky a trick her sometimes.  My daughter tells me she feels too shy but her teacher said she doesn't think so cos she chats to her at other times.  Now that I think about it though, when she wants her to say good morning back to her, it's in front of the rest of her class and I'm starting to wonder why she's making an issue of this.  It seems to me she's putting my daughter on the spot over such a small thing
