[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe the teachers are just trying to reflect back to the kids that they are really listening to them and are hearing what's important to them.  Our daughter's teacher does this about her interest in fashion and I think it's great.  Her teacher last year picks up on what's important to kids and includes it in their birthday celebration.  For our daughter, her teacher last year also mused that the world became a lot funnier and a lot blonder the day she was born.  She loved it.  She 's also in to top math and reading groups, and had a very close to perfect (all 9th stanine) ERB report. She cares, though, about being fun, and loves playing with her very blond long hair very dramatically while playing pretend games.  Same thing with her red-haired close friend.  [/quote]

I can't believe you think it is great that the teacher commented on her blondeness or that you think it is cute that she dramatically plays with her "long, blond (sic) hair."  Why exactly did you feel the need to mention that she is a blonde two times?  Why is her hair color something important to her that the teacher picked up on?[/quote]

PP here.  My DD's hair is a bright yellow/ white shade of blonde, and it's long, curly and think.  People comment on it all the time, as they do with her bright red-haired friend when they are together.  Her hair color and style is something she identifies with, and her teacher are remarking on it in a very nice way.  It's not that I think it's "cute."  [b]It's that I'm glad her teachers know her, and thinks out what's important to her[/b].  [/quote]

:shock:  :shock:  :shock:  Is your daughter's hair color and style really the most important thing to her? You might want to work on finding a new area of strength so that her identity is not wrapped up in something so trivial/temporary.[/quote]

Curly blonde hair is temporary and trivial? In what world?[/quote]
