[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There's firm, and then there's nasty, shaming, and excessively personal. The teacher crossed the line. Even if OP's child was being a showboat (and IMO waving wouldn't qualify, though a lot of other behaviors would), the teacher did not handle it maturely or appropriately. I'm no fan of obnoxious kids, but waving seems harmless and publicly calling out a kid for being a showoff is wrong.[/quote]

You know only what this kid self reported and the mother is reporting here.  If the parent is that concerned she should contact the teacher and ask what happened.  I don't consider waving harmless when a teacher is trying to set rules and corral kids in an orderly way.  One kid waving can turn into 9 kids waving.  That isn't orderly.  So having a no waving rule seems to certainly  have a place in a school line.  Regardless, whether you consider it 'harmless' or not, the teacher has a rule and it should be followed unless it could harm the child physically or emotionally.  Giving kids allowances (by essentially telling her that the teacher is too strict, never happy, has too many rules, has stupid rules, etc.) is going to confuse the kid to no end.[/quote]
