[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kids need to have kind, supportive teachers -- so they can learn -- they are not there to work on resilency (unless it relates to their peers) with their teachers at a young age.  Maybe pulling our kid taught him/her not to take any BS!  Especially when you are paying a lot of money!!![/quote]

Your choice to pull him/her.  But short of outright abuse, it's[b] never too early to start teaching resiliency[/b].

I remember a 4th grade teacher being very hard on my kid who I thought was an adorable angel.  Then one day I was actually in the class and saw what she had to deal with.  It was very eye-opening.  [/quote]

You are an absolute horror. You cannot teach resiliency. What if the net effect of the bullying teacher is a loss of confidence, the development of a stutter, a fall in grades?

You really are stupid.[/quote]

Different poster, but . . .

I don't think you are reading the prior post correctly.  The poster made it clear s/he did not think "abuse" was acceptable -- so I see no reason to assume that she thinks a truly "bullying teacher" should be endured to build resiliency.  Could "bullying" be in the eye of the beholder?  Perhaps.  The prior poster very reasonably gave an example of a time when her perceptions that a teacher was being too hard on her child were changed by her direct observations of the classroom behavior of her child and the other children.  It might be that what she came to see as a reasonable response to the classroom behaviors would be perceived by you as bullying.  Fair enough, people differ.

However, do you model that sort of name-calling for your child? ("You are an absolute horror" "You really are stupid")  I sincerely hope not.    [/quote]
