[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A K teacher does not have to be warm and fuzzy. What is important is that the teacher is fair and consistent. I agree with pp who think a meeting would be a good idea. Best of luck to you.[/quote]
I couldn’t disagree more. A K teacher should be warm and fuzzy and those kids should feel totallly loved. My DD lucked out and had the sweetest K teacher. Here’s why it’s important. Within a day DD went from crying about being at school to practically running in the door in the morning. She was a shy a reluctant student who was reading at a second level mid year and performing classroom plays that were video taped and sent to parents to view. She learned how to take risks and got rid of some of her perfectionism because making mistakes was encouraged in that class. She learned to laugh at herself and learned to show compassion for others when they goofed. She grew to learn about the world and think like a scientist because of the hands on experiments she was conducting in class and outdoors. She learned to take care of the numerous class pets and plants. She wrote thank you notes to show her appreciation and learned to nurture relationships. She learned how to make creative and healthy snacks and the importance of sharing. That all came about because this teacher set a warm and gentle tone in that class  because she did everything with LOVE. The point is happy children are learning children. This teacher really got that. My DD is in second grade now and still says her K teacher was the best teacher in the world. You DC deserves better OP. Have a meeting with all the stakeholders and don’t be afraid to get him in another class with a teacher who is a better fit. You need to be honest and forget about everything except what’s best for your child. [/quote]
