[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is OP.  Thanks everybody, and hopefully there will be more replies also.  Back to school night is tomorrow and I'm thinking of bringing up the lollipop thing as it is an issue for us.  The other stuff I will wait a bit but I am interested in knowing if it typically happens elsewhere.  I know DD can be an unreliable narrator but she was able to show me one of the videos on You Tube (a kids dance thing) and after preschool she's very familiar with how a classroom runs, for example her preschool classroom also had a workstation for the teachers to do email work.

I have heard really great things about this school and I want it to work out.  That said, we have been thinking about moving houses in the spring (could be in school zone or out), and private school is a possibility also, so I am interested in knowing whether this is how FCPS classrooms are run.[/quote]

Don’t bring up the lollipop thing at back to school night. Send an email. It’s a much more courteous way to handle things than bringing up a personal concern in front of a room full of other parents. [/quote]

Oh, is back to school night not for individual chatting, but more of a group Q&A?  I really am new to this.  Okay, that's useful info, thank you.  Thanks also for the Go Noodle info.  I'll wait and watch.

Teacher here.  SERIOUSLY.  If you have something that you are that concerned about, like one lollipop, 1- lighten up but 2- please for the love of God do not call your teacher out and put her on the spot in front of everyone.  Parents are worse than a class full of middle school girls, and you will just humiliate the teacher and give everyone else the opportunity to start nit-picking and attacking.  Just email and say "Hey!  I am Larlla's mom, thanks so much for a great first week!  She's really loving the dancing and all that she's learned.  I did want to politely ask if candy not be used for a reward for her, we are very intentional about dental health and also about not using food as a reward.  I can send in some stickers or something if you need to supplement.  I am looking forward to working alongside you this year, thanks so much!" [/quote]
