[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a meeting tomorrow with my DC's pk-3 teacher.  He says my DC does not listen to him and repeatedly says no.  He goes in time out quite frequently but is not violent.  He has never hit a student, used foul language and doesn't throw objects in the class.  School is new to him and he is having a hard time adjusting to authority.  He is has a good heart and is the class helper.  The teacher is threatening to expel him.  I know he should listen to the teacher but I think this is a bit extreme.  Would like to know if other parents have experienced this?  And of course I am talking about a charter school (not one of the most sought after either).[/quote]

1.  If you have the opportunity to look for a different program next year, please explore it.  There are many wonferful DC Public and Public Charter Schools.  It does not sound as if this teacher has the skills / experience to manage the classroom.
2.  Many schools with 3 and 4YOs had challenges adjusting back to the routines and the rules after winter break.  My child is at a "sought after" school and each week post winter break they have been focusing on 1 of the classroom rules.
3.  Going from time outs to expel seems quite extreme.  Please work with school leadership and specialists to see how you can salvage some of this year.
