[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tell your kid to buck up. That's life. Temper tantrums past age 3 or 4 should not be tolerated. [/quote]

But inappropriate behavior by the teacher should be tolerated?[/quote]

Apparently, it isn't bad enough to tell a supervisor about it.[/quote]

It might just be a too honest comment that slipped past a tired person’s filter. The use of the term
Inappropriate could mean a lot of things that we would say to our own children in an exhausted moment, but don’t think a non-parent should blurt.[/quote]

I'm tired of hearing all YEAR that we need to allow space for teachers to be real human beings but not kids. She's a fifth grader. She doesn't have perspective. This is an adult teacher. She should have perspective. If she f'd up, she needs to be the one apologizing. Children don't just have to take abuse and inappropriate comments from adults.[/quote]

You have never taught 5th graders. They are generally allowed space to be real human beings. Sometimes to the detriment of other learners.

I haven’t ever taught 5th, but I’ve written to teachers and principals enough times about disruptive kids in late ES that I suspect OP’s daughter was told to dial down her shenanigans so that others could learn.[/quote]

The "distracting, bad" kids have every right to school, and perhaps need it even more than our own kids.[/quote]

I would argue that they have the right until they become a distraction, at which point they have forfeited that right (for a time).  They can try again next class/period/day/week.[/quote]
