I attended my 5 year old DS class event. Everybody seemed to enjoy the fun, but at some point, there was this little classmate who, with a lowed voice, told my DS:" hey X, I saw your mom's booties"!!!! I was shocked because I was wearing work clothes with nothing showing!
DS told him that it is not nice to talk that way and headed to his teacher to complain. The teacher looked at DS with a big exclamation mark on her face and asked him:" so what's wrong with that? tell me what's wrong with that?!!!!!" DS had tears in his eyes and couldn't answer. At that moment, I wished I was never put in such situation. I held my son's little hand and whispered in his ears that I love him and that I am there for him!! I know I was weak but I couldn't do much!! The teacher stepped a few steps away, and my DS asked me if his teacher was right, the she quickly turned and said to him:" of course I am right, what do you think?"???????? I am really not sure who was right or wrong. I always teach my DS to never disrespect, hurt feelings or try to be bad to others. |

| I'm not sure what "booties" is. Booty, as in your butt? Did he mean boobies? Well, either way, the lesson the teacher is trying to impart is don't be a tattle tale. No one likes snitches. Your DS needs to shake off things like this. Now, that said, the teacher sounds ghetto as hell, and so does your son's classmate. |

Why did your kid have tears in his eyes? When your kid told the other kid that it was not nice to talk that way, did that kid get teary-eyed too? What exactly is the issue here? The fact that a 5yo noticed and commented on your breasts? That your child is sensitive? The teacher's reaction (and if that's the case, what specifically)?
20:03's confusion is understandable. |

Why did you feel the need to tell your son that you love him and would always be there for him? Doesn't he know that already? Why not ask him why he's up set, or encourage him to shake it off and move along?
Odd post, seems like an overreaction on all counts. |

Thanks 20:39 for pointing that out. Obviously, some others who responded ( and whom I thank anyway for their point of views) didn't see that. In fact, they actually "accused" me for over-reacting when I said to my DS that I love him.
Indeed, he knows that I love him and I DO tell him that all the time, but he didn't feel secure when his teacher yelled at him in front of his mom and for something, he, believes is not acceptable. |

| 20:18 here. If the teacher is yelling at the kid and if it is an otherwise unfriendly/disrespectful environment, pull him out. |

| It sounds like a situation in which every person involved overreacted. But since your son is only a little boy, he gets a pass. |

| Teacher should have to the other child to stop with the inappropriate talk. You got a crappy teacher. Forget it and move on. |
