A mother was appalled when she was called up for an emergency school meeting because her�five-year-old daughter couldn’t�help but giggle at her teacher’s name, Miss Butt.
Mum, Priscilla Terumalai, from Leytonstone, East London,�was told by her daughter Annalise that she could not stop laughing whenever she heard her teacher’s name.
Ms Terumalai later met Miss Butt at a parents’ council meeting at Mayville Primary School. She told the teacher the story, but she said that the teacher dismissed it and did not seem bothered.
However, after a few days, the mother-of-two was summoned to a meeting with the head of year, the school manager, a teacher assistant and another reception teacher. She was then asked to�answer for her daughter’s ‘naughty’�acts.
“When I received a call from the school, I was appalled at how pathetic and petty it was.
“I wasn’t making fun of her name at all. I wasn’t happy about being reported,” she said.
After the meeting, Ms Terumalai wanted Annalise to be moved to a different class because of the tension, but was denied.
“I felt intimidated in the meeting and they made me feel like I was in the wrong. The school over reacted and it made me feel really angry.
“It is not good enough. I felt I was treated unfairly because I am putting my trust in the teacher and I am not comfortable with my daughter being in her class now.
“Annalise is too young to notice if she is being treated differently and I am disappointed about the disruption to her learning,” she said.
Because of this,�Ms Terumalai is now�considering moving her daughter to a different school.
However, a�Mayville Primary School spokesman explained:
“We’re talking to the mum on a regular basis.
“Generally speaking we would only transfer a child from one class to another as a last resort as it can be incredibly unsettling and disruptive for the pupil, and their wellbeing is always our priority.”

I get what you’re saying, and yeah, those cases where people meet as adults can explain why the attraction happens.…
