[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have others experienced this at L-T? It's also our IB and now I'm stressed about it. My kid is highly sensitive to yelling/raised voices.[/quote]

My kids are at L-T. Like many schools, I think there are a few teachers who are more likely to yell and others who are less likely to. I also think kids can also experience the same teacher differently. My middle kid's favorite teacher is one that other kids have described as a yeller, but he could only think of one time she ever yelled and it was a safety issue that doesn't strike me as out of line personally. However, she definitely made it known when she was unhappy with the class' behavior. So I'm not sure it was the yelling per se that the other child was internalizing vs the clear displeasure. These kids were old enough that I don't have an issue with this approach (and, as mentioned, this my kid's favorite teacher ever), but if you had a kid who really internalized things, I could absolutely see why this teacher would be dispreferred to one who always gave warm and fuzzy vibes (and L-T definitely has some of those too). In any case, my personal experience is that it's a real mix and probably more teacher-dependent than school-dependent, but I will say that all of the ECE teachers lean towards the warm and fuzzy type.[/quote]

There is a huge range of appropriate professional behavior between yelling at children and warm and fuzzy vibes.[/quote]
