[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe the issue is a teaching style in the early grades that is not appropriate for a lot of kids and a teaching workforce for early elementary that is dominated by women who don't have a clue how to engage a different type of personality beyond the quiet and well-behaved girl who can sit for long stretches stereotype.

BTW, I say this as a parent of a boy who could sit and do all the things any teacher ever wanted and was quiet and a girl who was chatty and had trouble sitting still for long periods when she was younger.

They are both thriving in high school and no she does not have ADHD and she is not a "troublemaker".  Did her energy and chattiness annoy some teachers who were kind of lazy and boring and didn't seem to actually like children?  Sure.  The label troublemaker is terrible and you all who are saying that kind of suck.[/quote]

We're not talking about your DD's type if she was not labeled a troublemaker. These parents are well aware of their kids' issues. One of these kids can disrupt an entire class. [/quote]

She was labeled a trouble maker by some teachers!  And clearly by some on this thread she would be too.  Some want kids to just shut up and sit there.  [/quote]
