[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What could you possibly say that would not make you sound like a crazy person?  "My kid sometimes has tiny food stains on her face."  Teacher's response: "Yeah, that's probably true."  [/quote]

I don't think it is crazy to ask them to try to help her wash her face more.  It isn't reasonable to expect a three year old to do it well on there own.[/quote]

Do you know what a regular day of preschool is like? I do - not because I am a teacher, but because our kid is in a co-op and we are there in the classroom 1-3 times a month. Those teachers work HARD. It’s chaotic and fun and wonderful and inspiring. My son comes home dirty nearly every day - food stains, mud from outside - whatever. They are learning and loving life. Do I wash coats more often than I’d like? Yes. But his teacher loves him and he is learning so much. Believe me, there is far more to the day than a little food on your kid’s face.[/quote]

I do and I am also in the classroom frequently.  I didn't say anything about them not working hard.  Mud stains, stains on shirts, etc are par for the course.  And so are food on the face to a degree, but I also don't think it would be unreasonable for OP to ask teachers to help more on this front.  That doesn't mean it is reasonable for her to expect her kid to come home with a clean face everyday, but that doesn't mean it is crazy for her to raise the issue.[/quote]
