my schools bad comments on my 5 year old kindergartner made me mad!!!

No, it is trying to change normal behavior of five years old by medicating them that is causing problems later in life. Five year olds should be playing. Not sitting down and journaling.

That was surprising right there. Most are just learning letters at that age and many are just learning to read. Kids are being pushed too hard these days. They will learn to hate school early on.

exactly

the reality is that they shouldn't be.

When my parents were in school your kid's kind of behaviour would've gotten them slammed through the drywall by a nun.

I dealt with the same kind of issues when my daughter was in kindergarten. My quess he is probably a gifted and talented child who is absolutely bored in the class room. I was told my daughter had ADHD. We took her to the top doctor in the state and was told she was simply bored! She is now 20 years old and has a BSN in nursing. She will begin working on her nurse practitioners license this fall. DO NOT let the school system give you crap or try to medicate you son! My guess is he is bored and is probably very intelligent!

I pulled my 6 and 8 year old out of public schools this past February.

I received notes that my 6 year old 1st grader would not sit still. Did not pay attention even though he grasped everything faster than normal and did very well on assignments. He is reading at a 3rd grade level but had to write a note of apology to the gym teacher because he slid on his knees.

Every day I received a note about him, non of the behavior I ever see at home. I am not saying he is a saint. I am saying I will teach the bright little boy at home before I put him on meds to make him sit like a robot.


All of you teachers on here saying "we don't look for reasons to get your children in trouble", what happened to student responsibility? You are forcing parents to be helicopter parents with your petty notes home. Young adults today are fucked up because thy were never taught their work is theirs, their behavior is theirs. They have been taught "we'll just contact your mommy so she can get it done for you".

There are some bad teachers who take an intense dislike to a particular student.
My son, in 5th grade, got one and his school year was miserable. Other kids told their mothers that the teacher picked on him all day long. Singled him out. If 10 students were at the water cooler when they should not be only he would be yelled at. Conferences were no help - in fact made it worse. The principal was her buddy.
My son was never a problem. Quite the opposite. Just had to get through the year. Thankfully, the next year was a great year. He had a male teacher who had no favorites or victims. He treated them all the same.
He has done remarkably well in life since then. Degrees in physics and electrical engineering.

What does your son do while you GLP?

If you look at it as the Government indoctrination camp that it truly is it will make more sense to you.
