[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]am I unreasonable for thinking that short of a child being dangerous it is weird to kick a child out of what is not really a structured class anyways?[/quote]

Yes, you are unreasonable for thinking that.  My son took a class where every single class, he would roll up on a ball on the floor and refuse to participate.  It was distracting the other kids and causing some of them to copy him and do it as well.  Talking to him about it didn't change it.  I spoke with the teacher and we jointly agreed he should no longer do the class.  He wasn't being dangerous, but it was definitely distracting for everyone else.  If I hadn't jointly agreed with the teacher, she probably would have kicked him out, and appropriately so. [/quote]
Op here, I would agree in that case.  But I don't think she's doing that, they have monitors so I watch portions of the class and Dd is clearly participating.  She may not be standing on her spot exactly or she might be jumping when waiting in line, but it doesn't look like her behavior is any worse than the other girls in the class.  I haven't been watching that closely since the new teacher started, but I can't imagine it being that much worse than it was a month ago with her previous teacher.[/quote]

Maybe since she is new she has you confused with another parent. I got a call from camp once informing me my kid had broken something and was relieved by the end of the message to hear the name of the kid -- not mine.[/quote]
