[quote=Anonymous]I'm wondering whether there aren't just one or two parents (probably MCPS employees) responding back to the OP. There is no excuse for a principal, teacher, or staff member to yell at a Kindergarten or 1st grade child. Its questionable whether sending a young child to the principal's office the first month is even appropriate. If it is done as punishment, i.e. the principal's office is set up as a punitive negative place to go then this is very wrong. I also think its cruel to make a young child eat her lunch in the hallway alone.

If any of this happened to your child, I'm sure you would be furious. I would be furious, escalating a formal complaint through the school board, and considering other options if our ES handled things this way.

OP _ I would suggest that you clearly document what the principal told you and file a formal complaint concerning the yelling and being forced to eat in the hall alone. I would also include very specific points of how the teacher and principal is not only being dismissive of your child being bullied and excluded by other kids.  [/quote]
