[quote=Anonymous]Your assumptions here are many. First, not sure where you got "third course of action". This was the first and only course of action in this instance. References by the teacher to other times of having to be told something repeatedly did not indicate she did not do them, and did not indicate they were disruptive. This was the first "disruption".

Secondly, your narrow minded view of "the problem" shows you missed the point entirely.

Finally, I did not "get all confrontational" with the school. Where did you presume this from? I had a great and very promising conversation with the most important person, the teacher.

Plenty of people in the world, including seasoned educators and people who devote a lot of time to these issues, feel that the model like the one being used in Kindergarten is not at all appropriate for that age group and is in itself a big problem. Many feel the expectations are not at all reasonable.

Of course, none of this was the topic. The topic was, in a given instance, is the Principals office the time out room?

Sounds like you got up on the wrong side of the bed, or are an MCPS troll, or just plain offended when anyone questions the status quo. [/quote]
