My son is in 4th grade. He started school a week 1/2 ago. His school implements a discipline program where if you are disrespectufl or irresponsible you have to pull a colored card. You start off with a green card every day and then it goes, yellow, red, blue, and so on. Each card had different consequences. My son has never had a discipline or behaviour problem in this school. Going into this school year, I had heard this teacher was "tough". My son came home on Monday, then Wednesday and then again on Friday saying he had to pull a card. On all days it was for talking. Friday it was for talking during a test (not cheating) and a friend told on him. My son is devastated and I am already at the end of my rope with this teacher. I know my son isn't perfect and that he shouldn't be talking during class, but my GOSH it's 4th grade. Give the kid a warning!! Now he feels like he's being zeroed in on by this teacher and is very self-concious. How should I handle this? I am very concerned.
