[quote=Anonymous]Your child was disrupting the classroom. Yes, you will be sent to the principal's office if you disrupt the classroom and interfere with the educational process, and rightfully so. You also point out that sending your daughter to the principal as actually the third course of action taken by the teacher, not the reflex.

If in fact it's true that the principal yelled at your daughter, that's a problem, but I would view that claim with a great deal of skepticism. Especially since the principal has so much experience. Your child is likely exaggerating.

As for lunch, that could either be denying her the social time privilege. Or, it could be simply that she missed her lunch period and had to eat.

It's natural to focus suspicion on the school's response in these situations, but Occam's Razor likely applies: Your child was the problem, not the school. By your own admission, she isn't well-prepared for the perfectly normal expectations for classroom behavior. You may want to nip that in the bud quickly rather than get all confrontational with the school.[/quote]
