[quote=Anonymous][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]

Ok....and at what point should the OP focus her energy on her own child's behavior?  Because whether she ends up moving DD or not, DD's behavior needs to change as she moves forward in school.[/quote]
