[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD says that she has never had 1-on-1 time with her K teacher, and except for the teacher welcoming each student with a "good morning," has never talked with just her teacher since school began. It upsets DD, but when I suggest talking to the teacher at this or that time in the day, DD says she can't because they do everything all together as a class.

Is this typical? Is it just because of the start of the year? DD is well behaved, and mentioned today that the only kids that get the teacher's direct attention are the ones who misbehave, so she think she should misbehave, too, to get attention.

While I realize there are 21 other kids in the class, it seems that the teacher would work with the kids in small groups sometimes, so she could talk with each child. Am I off-base here? Still trying to figure it all out, since this is my first in the school system.[/quote]  She sees the teacher spending more time addressing misbehaviors and craves that same attention. Remember, developmentally children that age are completely self-centered. Also if her pre-K teacher favored her she is trying to find her place in the new dynamic. [/quote]

That sounds pretty reasonable to me.  (and logical)[/quote]
