[quote=Anonymous]Oh good grief - do not go to the boss because you were told your daughter isn't listening. Talk about being snowplow parents trying to externalize all responsibility. 
A 4 yr old in a class should be able to follow the directions of the class. I taught swimming lessons to groups of 3-5 year olds for years. I absolutely expected them to follow my directions - because of safety and so that I can do my job and give the kids what their parents paid for - swimming lessons.

Jumping on the spot or doing something that isn't otherwise being disruptive isn't an issue - but if she is running around the room or getting in the way of other kids or generally being bratty - the issue is her. If the new teacher is the issue and your child is the same as all the other kids then there is no reason why the teacher would single out your child.

Maybe you should watch a few classes with this teacher before you dash off to make a scene with the teacher's boss about how your precious snowflake isn't being allowed to express her creativity and individuality and is being asked to follow directions.[/quote]
