[quote=Anonymous]DD5 is in PK4 in DCPS. She's been reporting that several kids in her class (often together) have been being mean to her (knocking over her block towers and laughing about it, calling her names). She says the kids don't stop when she asks. When she tells the teacher and the teacher speaks to the other kids they say they'll stop but then start again once the teacher walks away, laughing the whole time. DD is a pretty reliable reporter and is extremely upset about the situation. She's a sensitive kid, independent, and has always been an old soul and the teacher mentioned at parent-teacher conferences that she's been an easy target for kids to pick on because she's not assertive. Is it normal for kids to behave like this towards their classmates in PK? Shouldn't the teacher be disciplining the kids who are repeatedly being unkind? Not sure what's normal for DCPS PK, but this doesn't seem right. Is it our school, our teacher, or should a just prepare my kid to have to put up with being treated like this? There are 15 kids in the class, a teacher, and a para. [/quote]
