[quote=Anonymous]If she is getting referrals, this means she is pretty much impacting the teacher’s ability to teach. It has to get pretty disruptive to warrant a referral. You need to talk to the doctor and your kid is old enough to use strategies to let the teacher teach and respect the teacher. I would insist that she write a letter of apology and would follow up with a meeting with the teacher and kid to find out exactly what is going on. When you hear from the teacher exactly what is happening, you will be better able to understand. I’ve had parents bring their kid in and say the kid said he didn’t do anything, and when I outline what has actually happened, the kid sinks down in their chair and the parent realizes that the kid is not being honest and they take the kid home, assuring me that this will be dealt with. If it is the same teacher each time, it could be more willful on your daughter’s part. Or, it could be a bad teacher match, but go in and find out.

If a younger kid is spending time in the office every day, that’s a red flag that the kid is missing instruction, is damaging peer relationships by being the “bad kid,” and the kid is likely suffering from low self-esteem from always being in trouble. It’s not just the school’s problem. It should be a partnership. I feel bad for that kid. And it’s a burden on the teacher and the office staff.[/quote]
