Primary & Secondary Education - March 2007

I asked a question earlier about my 14 year old being excluded for 10 days. I notice that quite a few teachers have responded by saying that a disruptive child in the class needs excluding and the parent should be responsible for discipling the child.

When i was at school a long time ago now, we got the slipper, the cane, and occasionaly the football boot across the rear end. I appreciate now that is this climate of no hitting parenting and teaching this is now considered in-appropriate, which again is another matter for debate.

What i would like to know is though, a teacher can be very tuff without being physical, take for instance an army sergeant major. Children can be scared to death of this sort of teacher, but scared in a good way that shows respect. A teacher who just calls the headmaster and gets the child excluded for a bit of back chat is in my view a very weak teacher..

Do people agree or not....?

My 14 year old son has just been excluded from school for 10 days. Without going into a lot of detail he was verbally abusive to a teacher. Now i dont condone this behaviour and he has been reprimanded by myself. But surely being excluded for 10 days is like a holiday to him he will love it. Both parents at work sat at home on msn or the xbox. I think that teachers nowadays are far to keen to exclude children instead of giving them punishment that is appropriate to the behaviour.

When my son goes back to school and is a bit bored with the lessons, all he has to to do is be cheeky to the teacher and hey presto another 10 days holiday......

Just wondering what other peoples oppinions are on this..

My son is 8yrs and in the 2nd grade.... he has ADHD and a few other problems that are not recognized at school as a LD. His teacher has said alot of negative things to him but the 2 toppers are: (both said in front of the class)
1. After he missed one day of school, she came up to him and said, "I just wanted you to know I had such a wonderful day yesterday when you were not here"
2. He had gotten in trouble for talking and she told him " i wish there was some way to get you out of this school"

My son is really tore up over these comments and is sure doenst help his attitude toward school either. I have talked with the pricipal and they(his teacher and principal) just called him to the office proceeded to interogate him, until he came up with adifferent story, and said that the teacher didnt say it.

I know she probably did, she has told me such at the parent teacher confrences we have had, I have no reson to believe he made this up. Whta should I do?

My 3rd grade step-daughter has a nightly reading assignment, one book read aloud for 15 minutes and signed off on. She stays with us 3 1/2 days a week, reads 3 books when she is here leaving 4 books/4 nights, at her mothers' home to complete. Today I was writing down the 2 she read this weekend on her reading log and noticed her mother has written 6 entries. Impossible, considering she's only allowed to read 1 book each night. So I asked my step-daughter if she had read some of these books, she said no, she had only read 3 out of the 6. I admit, I was a little steamed! I asked why her mother had done this, her (daughter) reply was that she had left the log at school (when it was also due to turn in and she got a missed assignment slip sent home Fri.).She also was told to lie to the teacher saying she had forgotten the log at home, instead of at school, which she told me she won't do. Her teacher and mother keep in contact, would it be a mistake informing the teacher?
