[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m surprised a private school is having a kid move on because of this and that they waited until now when it’s too late to apply to a different private school.  I’m sorry OP, it sounds like either your daughter’s behavior is severe or your private is horrible.

I think I would tell her that she can’t stay due to her behavior and hopefully this will make her amenable to counseling.    [/quote]

We actually hadn't heard anything about her behavior until yesterday despite three parent-teacher conferences where they claimed everything was just fine. Now, apparently, it's a crisis, so I have to take the afternoon off to pack up all her books, because I'm at a loss of what else I can take away from her. [/quote]

This is crazy.  Can she stay through the end of the year?  Was there an incident causing injury?  I’m really sorry and can understand why you are upset OP.[/quote]

She's staying through the end of the year, yes. And no injuries. She just burst into tears into math class yesterday because another classmate was singing under her breath and she couldn't hear the teacher. She corned the girl during recess and asked that she stop singing, girl refused, so she cried again on the playground. Straw that broke the camel's back for the admin. And I agree! She should not be crying in public or telling other students what to do. [/quote]

If this merits getting kicked out of school several kids from my child’s fourth grade class would be gone.  This is shocking. I think I would demand more explanation from the school and offer to take her to counseling.[/quote]

My kid would be gone too. Her various teachers at public have been working with her for years on not getting overly dramatic when she feels under stress about something - and not being able to hear the teacher or getting a snippy response from a classmate would 100% stress her out. Her teachers have always been so understanding, even though I can only imagine how annoying it must be dealing with that in a class of 28 kids+. We work on it at home, but it's slow going.[/quote]

Ok, but you can't kick a kid out of public for this. You absolutely CAN kick them out of private. [/quote]

You can kick a kid out of private for just about anything. It's the double edged sword of private.

But maybe public is a better place for a kid who needs to work on this issue.[/quote]
