The School Grapevine

[Anonymous]

OP, maybe you could ask Jeff Steele to move this to general parenting or schools general forums. This doesn't sound like an issue specific to DCPS and charters. Don't worry about grapevine too much in preK. Most classes are small enough that you can guess who it is. Like a game of telephone, words are easily twisted the further you get from the source.

why is that another parent's business. just asking? people have too much time on their hands or they are just down right mean.

Often because the other parent feels their DC has some sort of deficiency and they're trying to be competitive to make themselves feel better.

i guess it could be worse -- my dc is a four year old acting like a four year old -- i'll take it. at least my dc is not hitting, spitting, kicking, using the f work -- all things my dc has mentioned that some of the more "mature" classmates have done.
