[quote=Anonymous]OP it's so good that you are open to suggestions and want to make this better. I agree with the people who say they did you a favor. Punishment does not work as well as positive reinforcement in shaping behavior. I would see if the school is willing to work on a simple home-school behavior plan to target 1 or 2 "manners behaviors" segment by segment (e.g. morning meeting, class, music, recess, lunch). Just something where maybe a smile face, T for trying or B (for better next time).

Let your child know good things that were said. Then see if your child knows what they said needs to be worked on. If not, I would be direct. "We need to work on improving manners." get input from your child. Also come up with rewards for behavior program. Start easy...3 smiles in a day, gets s sticker each day this week. then if achieved the bar goes higher next week. You could have a plan at home too. You could also have your child earning tokens that go toward purchases ranging from a sticker to a much wanted, reasonably priced item that costs a lot of tokens.

Partner with the school. Thank them for feedback. Honestly we had to target this all early and still I ask about manners at conferences. I always hear polite. I ask after playdates/hangouts too. I have had some kids come to our house display some terrible manners. I was very forgiving at first and I don't tell parents because they don't ask.Over time now that my kid's social skills have improved I am much more willing to host the kids who know to be respectful because we have a choice. Target it now so it doesn't cause problems later.[/quote]
