[quote=Anonymous]We had the exact opposite situation with our $30k+ school where my 2nd grader's teacher would talk very softly.  And I have a boy's boy who was a little rambunctious and full of energy at that age.  He could have used good boundaries and a somewhat firm and louder voice...above the level of soft.  Instead he was on a behavior plan for almost the ENTIRE year where he was judged 6-7 times throughout the day with smiley, straight, or frowning faces.  It began to make my psychotic, so I can only imagine what it did to my son.  At first I was all for it, "discipline him, do whatever.." but after seeing that there was no change in the month or 2, I asked for it to stop.  I got complete push back from the teacher and wet rag response from the school.  Just because you are doing private does not mean you can outsource being an aggressive advocate for your child.  I made that mistake and will NEVER make it again.  I still feel badly 2 years later and he occasionally talks about feeling like 2nd grade was a "bad year" for him.  The school, like many, just does not understand how to successfully teach a "typical" boy.  I wonder if that is why she is yelling...she also may not understand how children have different needs.[/quote]
