[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Putting on question list for open houses...

I think I would be upset if this happened to my child and I was not aware that this was a common practice.
They are so young in preschool, hard to be a working parent and leave them all day and then to be thinking they are being treated like the 5th graders with no special consideration of their age is tough.
They grow up too fast these days.[/quote]

It's a little bit of a stretch to assume they're being treated like fifth graders because they go to the principal's office, no? Surely it's possible for the principal to interact with a four-year-old student in an age appropriate way.[/quote]

+1. I'll be damned if your kid monopolizes an entire school day for the teacher. Also, in our school it is definitely a safe cool down spot. Principal is highly effective with preschoolers and talks through issues, colors with the kid, and most certainly will discuss the day with the parent.[/quote]

+1 to the latter. And no... the preschool children are not treated like 5th graders. Also, because a child is 3-5 years old, doesn't mean that they can't be removed from a classroom for behavior. Sometimes it's a break, sometimes it's for safetly. Some 3-5 year olds hit/punch/bite/throw massive tantrums and removing to calm down is critical.[/quote]
