[quote=Anonymous]The idea of my child's caretakers/teachers, the people I pay to help teach and nurture my child, telling all the other parents that he's been a bad kid at the end of the day makes me feel awful. I imagine going to pick him up at the end of the day and feeling publicly shamed . . . I'd feel badly for both of us. I think if he were always getting a good review, I'd probably be less sensitive, but I know my child and he can sometimes act up. And if he got a lot of bad marks, it would make me question whether his caregivers have decided they don't like my little guy or have pigeonholed him as a behavior problem. Maybe this is a good system for some, but it offends my instincts as a parent and I'd probably seek out other arrangements. And the idea of withholding snacks - so while I'm at work wondering how my kid's day is going, I get to worry whether he's being intentionally excluded and singled out BY THE TEACHERS as the bad kid. Great. [/quote]
