[quote=Anonymous]My youngest DS is in the 1st grade. Yesterday, I got an email informing me that he'd hit and kicked a classmate on the playground and that he'd thrown mud on the way in. The teacher stated that had separated him from the rest of the class for this behavior. Despite the rather dramatic tone of the email, I responded immediately that we agreed this was unacceptable and we'd address it with DS that evening. I did ask for more information about what may have precipitated the behavior, because it is very out of character for my kid, although DS is kind of impulsive so the mud-throwing is more believable. At any rate, if he had a problem we want to address it ASAP.

Here's the thing that got my dander up, though. DS's older brother (4th grade) told me last night that he saw YDS's teacher in the hall as his class was coming in from the playground and mentioned to him that his little brother was in his class. YDS's teacher proceeds to tell him all about the incident, including "your brother punched someone in the stomach and kicked him on the ground" (which we think is a bit of an exaggeration of what happened).  I'm not mad that my YDS was disciplined, but I am mad that this teacher told all this to his brother and it front of the rest of the 4th grade class. I think that's really inappropriate for a lot of reasons. I would like to address it with the teacher and possibly the administration, but my DH says to let it go. This isn't the first instance of this teacher displaying questionable judgement, so my patience is thin. [/quote]
