[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, you are overreacting.

Address your son's silliness.  He will not be permanently damaged from going to sit with the babies.  He may even remember the next time he wants to be silly that he got sent back to pre-k.[/quote]
This is so true! We don't have preschool at our school, but we have a principal that the kids love and don't like to disappoint. Nobody wants to be sent to the office. The walk of shame! :wink:

I agree with a PP that you may be surprised to hear what the teacher has to say about your child. I doubt it was the first time also, and she had probably just had enough of his interruptions.

If you could be a fly on the wall of a kindergarten classroom you'd have such empathy for these teachers and what they deal with teaching children how to "do" school, all while teaching them required standards! It's a tough year. [/quote]

I agree. Hopefully your son learned to listen and pay attention the first time. Next time I would make him stay in the pre k class all day long because as she said he clearly isn't ready for kindergarten.[/quote]
This. I hate the "they are just five" comments. If your "just five" year old can't behave in class like the other "just five" year kids, the issue is probably with your kid. And yes, teachers know kids will squirm and fidget and interrupt and shout out and giggle and be silly, and these things DO happen, but when it becomes such a disturbance that interferes with my teaching, your kid will be disciplined. If. Have to tell you enough times, you'll get to work alone in the hallway with a parapro, and your parents will be emailed. The teacher is telling you so you can help get your kid in line. As a teacher yourself, none of this should be hard to understand.[/quote]
