[quote=Anonymous]Hi all, I have posted before...about the daycare center teacher (won't call it preschool as people start arguing whether it is really a preschool, whatever). The one who suggested that my son probably never used markers before (he colored himself in marker, arms and limbs). 
So, this center has tons of ESL kids, several in our class. They all come there not knowing much English, so did my son. The teachers are supposedly experienced with them (and ESL themselves, btw).
So today the teachers told me that I need to teach my son to say NO in a softer way, or preferably even "No, thank you", as he says NO in a very sharp, determined way and it sounds rude.
Ok, I get it, they are right, and thanks for telling me, but when I told them I would def work on it but just wanted to let them know that he's not being rude, it is one of the few words he knows, so he tries to express as much as possible with it. After that, this teacher just gives me a blank stare - I kid you not.

I am fine with them informing me and asking to work on certain things like manners (even though this is more of a language thing), but it got me thinking if they really know what they are doing...and how much disciplining they do when I am not around that is just redundant at this stage...like, don't say this in this or that way  -he is not yet capable to understand...I doubt it that KIDS are offended by a decisive NO - its probably the teachers?

So, am I being this precious snowflake's mom or are my concerns justified?[/quote]
