That's what I was thinking reading the other thread but I am not sure it is CLs style to post multiple threads on the same topic.

CL's oldest kid is younger than this one's kid, but yes, similar attitudes. Maybe they are sisters?

I cannot believe all the reasonable advice this crazy OP is getting throughout all her threads. This must be a record or something.

OP, schools have rules for a reason. If every kid only did exactly what s/he wanted at a given moment, the classroom would be utter chaos and nobody would learn a thing. Your DD/DS might prefer to stay at one table rather than move somewhere else, but I guarantee you that other kids would prefer to be running, yelling, or wrestling. Rules exist for good reasons, and no kid is such a special snowflake as to be exempt.

Agree that you are doing your DD/DS no favors with your opposition.

OPs original thread.

from DD to DS

Is that a way for her to hide behind her posts?

This.

If the principal did yell, etc., that was highly inappropriate and should be addressed. It does not, however, mean that the teacher and school were wrong to address the problem of your child choosing not to participate. Their poor behavior does not excuse your daughter's.

And I'm stunned this has to be spelled out. Is there no longer such a thing as "civil society" anymore, and is it really all about "me and my desires"? I think OP is a small minority, but let's hope she doesn't pass her values on to her kid.

This is clearly a troll POST. It is a spin off an earlier post written by a real parent. Read the other post about a kid going to P's office.

If a post reads like an intolerant idiot wrote it - don't respond. Of if you do, call it out. too funny that folks did not miss it.

PS - how does one ask the folks who run the website to delete TROLL posts??

The report button?

Are there any programs or alternative schools for my 5 year old son. He's been through a lot, but he's out of control and evidently I have no clue how to get him back under control. I need help and advice or words would be greatly appreciated..

Please send your child to an accredited AMI Montessori school. It’s exactly what you are looking for.

I didn’t read th other thread but I work in a progressive school and kids still need to follow rules there too, even at 5 or 6. You have to teach your child how to function in their environment. Maybe take a PEP class or have a parenting coach spend time first in your home, 5en observing her at school.

The report button is to report specific comments, which can be deleted and not derail a thread. If an entire thread needs to be dealt with, you can start a post in Website Feedback forum with a link to the thread and your request - delete, move, or lock the thread. I wouldn't delete this thread, because now it has some interesting content. Maybe it should be locked. Or maybe it can just be ignored after this and slowly fade away.

If the child refuses to comply with the teacher's instructions, there will be consequences, no matter what school they're at. (Unless maybe it's homeschool with OP?)

Even Montessori has rules, which the child would be expected to follow. The method tends to encourage natural consequences, but children can't get away with being disrespectful or disobedient, either. OP would likely find that her child, whatever gender/age they are, couldn't get away with disrupting a Montessori classroom, either.
