[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Exactly PP. Gone are the days kids step through the doors ready to learn. You know it's bad when you have 4 and 5 year olds swearing at you and when you call home about behavior, parents either don't answer or call back or they tell you it's your problem while he/she is at school.  :shock: [/quote]

How do you keep a straight face when a 4/5 year old swears at you?  Or take it seriously for that matter, I would be way more concerned about an older child, one who actually knows what the words mean cursing at me.  Maybe the problem is expectations placed upon 4/5 years olds.  Ready to learn???  Gone are the days when kindergarten was actually fun for 4/5 year olds, what ever happened to singing ABCs and 123, creative movement, story time, snack time and nap time.  [/quote]

I agree that the expectations are very out of line with normal child development. The expectations are fear based instead of based in the reality of what is normal childhood development. When teachers have to evacuate their classroom because a kindergartener has gone crazy and is throwing stuff everywhere while telling you “Don’t effing come closer or I’ll rip your effing head off” I most certainly try to keep my poker face while pushing students out the door. I have at least two students similar to this every year in my kindergarten classroom. [/quote]

I am sorry but every time I read this I laugh hysterically.  So I inappropriate on my part I know... I clearly am not cut out for the classroom!
