[quote=Anonymous]IME 4th graders (and other ages) are learning how to express themselves. Often this means they don't use the words very precisely. I generally ask my child to explain what they meant by whatever term they used that didn't seem appropriate. If they need prompting I would ask if they meant scary like spooky movie that has a surprise which made them jump, or something else. If this were my kid and they'd had a chance to better explain what they meant I suspect you would have felt better about the situation. But I'm sorry this happened to you and your child. Not fun for anyone.[/quote]
