[quote=Anonymous]As a pre-k teacher I totally understand it’s hard to get kids to quiet down sometimes. But it erodes relationships, one day I was just so upset I raised my voice and the kids all told me ‘Ms. X take a deep breath, you’re a little angry.’ I felt so guilty and apologized. I’m just glad they remembered all the breathing strategies I taught them for when they are upset.
I don’t think we should be chronically yelling at kids. It does impact them. You should tell your child to ask them to stop yelling and talk to the teacher if it continues.

As adults we do not like being yelled at, neither do kids. Is this normal at other schools? Well some, I have worked in 5 different ones and yelling happened in 3/5.

There is no excuse but unfortunately DC does not think it’s important to teach teachers how to manage stress like police, firefighters, etc. You may not think it’s necessary but just the other day I had a 5 year old slap me in the face. I mean it’s not as bad as HS by any means but the emotions of twenty+ 4-5 year olds can be a lot, plus parents, and paperwork. [/quote]
