[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kindergarten teachers in private school last year...here is what made bad:

* Not understanding/believing the development of young children and having appropriate excpectations of children's behavior - one teacher was constantly - I mean almost every minute - correcting 5 yrs olds for things like fidgideting, not sitting with crossed legs, speaking in a manner she didn't like, etc. It was really too much.

*Unable to communicate with parent - got defensive when asked for updates on child's progress and even the most basic question about curriculum

*Liked the "popular girls" and made sure to select and single them out for leading anything and everything and admitted to me as a parent that she did so

*And lastly, not having children themselves.  I know that there are those who will swear up and down that makes no difference but it really, truly does - especially in an early childhood setting like Prek, K, 1st -3rd.  [/quote]

Not having children makes a huge difference in ECE. [/quote]

I actually disagree. I think I was a better teacher before having my own kids. I had more patience, for one. And I had more time to spend at school and doing school-related work. I would think nothing of staying until 6:30-7:00 to make new materials or remake some things that I thought I could improve. I work more efficiently now but a lot of extras have gone by the wayside in order to have time for my own family. [/quote]
