[quote=Anonymous]Yes, daycare teachers are tired and leaving the field. We aren't in the times of $10 per hour for daycare workers these days but even $20 per hour isn't great when you can make the same (or more) doing easier work. It's not so much that children are kicking, spitting, running off, etc., it's more that children are listening less for basic instructions.

In my experience during pre-pandemic times, you would ask a child to do something and may have had to repeat yourself once or twice, but cooperation for basic instructions was easier. Now you have to ask children 8 or 9 times before they cooperate. The asking children to listen over and over for the basics is what drains the energy from a preschool teacher in the classroom.

Parents are often having to do the same at home. We try to encourage parents to have a system for boundaries for behaviors at home and they have no idea where to start.

So yes OP, the head teacher may have made comments about your child's behavior to the TA. I think the TA was attempting to tell you that you need to put your foot down and establish some boundaries and consequences at home, but should have found a more professional way to communicate this.[/quote]
