[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I saw this when my first DD started PK3 at our well regarded local DCPS. I think the class was small (18 kids I think) with one great teacher and one aid. 2-3 girls (yes, sometimes it’s the girls), were very disruptive and taking all teacher and aid’s attention. My sweet, shy DD fell in the background. The teacher was really great I think and tried his best. Still… when you have 2 4-year old throwing chairs, screaming and throwing themselves on the floor, you need to intervene.

We moved my DD to private school and it was night and day. I am not American and when I went to school we did not have these issues in class. Disruptive kids were punished (not humiliated, but punished). Parents would be called, etc. I think more is expected from all kids in my country (at least it was when I went to school). Children with severe disabilities (not at all independent) had an aid 100% of the time.

I think we are just too lenient with kids nowadays. Too worried about not hurting their feelings, etc.[/quote]

You can’t expel a child with a behavioral IEP for misbehaving. Your private on the other hand has a whole admissions process to weed those kids out and the freedom to get rid of them of one slips through [/quote]
