Hey OP, here's the parent of the rude kids.

Lol no. Just a teacher tired of adults taking away kids’ ability to develop coping skills and then wondering why they aren’t resilient

You are a grown woman who used the phrase "whiny weasel." I hope you don't model this petulance to your students. You need to figure out empathy and emotional intelligence.

So you haven’t figured out the way someone might speak to adults in an Internet forum is different than how they would speak to kids in a professional context? Do you not talk differently to your girlfriends/spouse than your children ? I can think someone is a whiny weasel and also be a very good teacher. I don’t know why y’all expect that teachers have to be on duty 24/7 even when they are at home in their regular role as a person. I’m not teaching YOU.

You’re juvenile.

There was a kid who kept hitting my child in preschool. I was also friends with the parents. First I worked on the problem with my kid- how to deal with kids like that. It kept happening. Then I involved the teachers- brought it up as an issue. They agreed to keep an extra eye out. Still kept happening. Then I brought it up to the parents- not accusatory, just brought it up as an issue. They were apologetic and said that it was something they were working on. Still kept happening. So then I told my kid that if all else fails, just push him back. And he did, the kid was pushed down, he cried. But it never happened again!!

If kid is bullying, yes and if kid Is rude them I would also tell tell the kid . If kid is a bully, I would tell parent that kid will never be invited to another playdate.
