[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your kid has trouble behaving because you are more focused on how the teacher handled it than his actions.

Are you giving him any consequences at home?  Or are you just going to harp on the teacher?

I would address his behavior and make him apologize to the teacher.  Teach your kid to be respectful not to deflect blame. [/quote]

When my DC misbehaved in kindergarten, we took it seriously, we gave him consequences, talked about what he was supposed to do instead of what he was doing, etc.  He was only 5 and just couldn't do it.  As the year went on, I realized that many (a large majority) of the kids couldn't do it, on any given day.  The teacher wasn't extremely bothered by misbehavior, either.  That's what kindergarten is, learning how to do it.  That's what teachers teach, how to be students.  [/quote]
I'm a teacher, and I posted above about letting a lot of it go. I can tell you that if your kid acts up and it interferes with my teaching, I will take MY time to email you about it. I don't spend time after school to email parents about the generic kindergarten misbehavior you are speaking of.[/quote]
