[quote=Anonymous]OP- I remember being five and can tell you that your child is capbale of understanding that when she is told to move on CENTER A she needs to do it. It doesn't matter that her preschool had a less formal structure/progressive model or whatever. I had no preschool and no structure before K but could understand when I was misbehaving. Instead of dealing with your child and letting her know that you understand that PRe-K was different but this is K and when they tell you to focus on  this one thing she has to do it, you go and defend her to her school. I understand you wanting to protect your child's feelings, trust me as a mother I understand, but you are doing her a disservice but lowering your expectations for her and passing off her misbehavior as a problem with the school instead of dealing with the fact that she misbehaved.

She is receiving mixed messages. The school is punishing her for disrupting the class and you are telling her, by defending her, that is wasn't really her fault.[/quote]
