[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think your child has the teacher mine had 2 years ago. She wasted so much time tracking bad behavior. I agree with the advice. You need to gather data from teacher, other parents, etc and decide if your child is overly sensitive or this teacher needs some serious remediation when in comes to classroom management 101.

What grade? I had never heard of someone tracking bad behavior on a chart the whole class and any parents could see until we experienced it. I am hoping this is the same teacher (unlikely) because otherwise there are other idiots using this method.[/quote]

Hi, it's op, my child is in 4th. I don't ever agree that using a behavior chart is a good method, but I especially hate it at the fourth grade level. They're too old for that.[/quote]

Do you have a girl?

Fourth grade tends to be when the girls start getting challenging and oversensitive, and the boys start getting easy and fun.

My mom taught fourth for several decades, and the girls would often start to have struggles by around second semester.

I think of how my own kids and kids of my friends define "yelling" at that age. Usually anything not positive or anything said directly or with a stern voice is perceived as "yelling" by tweens...even if it isn't.[/quote]
