[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your kid sounds like one of those kids that gets punched in the mouth on the bus. Nobody will be friends with her. You should talk to her about her behavior/words.  [/quote]

I agree with this.

Sounds like the teacher is trying to do you both a favor.[/quote]

I partially agree(the behavior should be addressed), but it seems that the teacher is targeting the girl. The other kids should be called out too.

From OP:  “DD also said a classmate said something similar about someone else's Friday diary before (The classmate had said something like "Your picture isn't very good" and the teacher said that was just her opinion, so DD said she thought it was ok to critique too).”

“[u]The kids are instructed to play "PE rules only" for recess 4 square.[/u] Teacher said DD accused kids of cheating and was mad at being out. I don't know how the PE rules are different, but according to DD a couple kids were playing regular rules and that's why DD said they were cheating.”[/quote]

It may seem like the teacher is targeting the girl but maybe the teacher is just sick of her constantly being a jerk to everyone. Other kids may do it more rarely, and having kids like this girl doing it constantly is what gets the other kids doing it too.[/quote]

It doesn’t matter and/or it might be just her perspective because the specific kid triggers her. I’ve seen it a few times with my kids’ friends.

Those kids were not perfect, but not the worst ones, and many needed to be corrected; but the teachers personally disliked them and they were absolutely being targeted. The kids who trigger ME are the manipulative ones who behave really well when it’s convenient, and I’m still surprised(my 1st born is 13) by how they get away with murder.[/quote]
