Grade-Schooler

school sense kindergarden, and we really like the school. They are top in the district, and they are an independant school! This year my son was so excited to have his best(girl) friend in his class. They spend alot of time out of school together, but he has always wanted her in his class. After the first week of school he told me that the girls and boys are not allowed to play together at recess. One day the girls get the swings, and what not and the boys play in the field and the next day vise versa. I talked to his teacher about this and she said that it was due to inapropriate behavor of student's from previous years. They agreed to have a meeting with the parent's to discuss the issue. Well we finally had a meeting and the teachers have stuck with there decision to keep the kids seperate. And they are talking about changing it so it is like this in all grades not just 2nd. I think it is important for my son to play with girls as well as boys. If you were me would you keep your son

She is 8 years old and small for her age. She is not overweight- she is actually underweight. Sugar also makes her hyperactive, moody, out of control, obnoxious, and downright rude. She has a normal diet that isn't high in sugar but the little bit that she gets make her act this way. Yesterday she actually saw a man near our backyard but her sisters swear they saw no-one. Still she insists and was terrified of this man.

My step-daughter, Chloe, and her best friend, Reagan are in 7th grade. Reagan is on the school volleyball team. She made a new friend Ashley, who is in the 8th grade. Ashley asked if she could email Reagan. Reagan added her email to her list. Soon, Ashley told Reagan she had a cousin in a nearby town and asked if she would like to chat with him. Reagan started emailing this guy who was supposed to be in about the same grade. He also began emailing Chloe from time to time. When Reagan's mom checked her computer, she found some inappropriate emails from this guy, one of which said he was or would be outside her house in the bushes waiting for her.

Now, it has since been discovered, with the help of the police, that Ashley and her brother were just playing a trick on Reagan.

My question is this: Should Ashley and her brother be punished for their behavior which caused Reagan's mom to be very worried about her daughter's safety? Why or why not?

I have a six year old who is becoming extremely adept at passive resistance. I pretty much have to physically move her through the entire process of getting ready for school, moving her from the bed, dressing her, brushing her hair, dragging her downstairs, finding breakfast, putting on her coat, guiding her to the car and buckling her in. I obviously can't just let her stay in bed until she's late, or not have her go to school at all. How do other people deal with that?

My son is in 3rd grade and absolutley has to wear deoderant every day. We bought him Arm & hammer because it seemed mild for his skin and he doesn't walk around smelling like he swam in Old Spice. Does anyone else have children that need deoderant that are this young? It seems like I was in 5th or 6th grade before I started wearing deoderant.

My six year old son is in cubscouts and has just earned his first badge. There is another boy in the troop, who is the only one that doesn't have a cubscout shirt. I felt very sad for him when he told me his mom was trying to find one. I think he should have something to display his badge on. I would happily buy him a shirt myself, but I am afraid of offending his mother. Also she has an older son in scouts that has no shirt and I am concerned that it would make him feel bad. What do you think? Should I buy a shirt for him, or not?

This question is on one of my assignments, and my logic teacher insists that is possible but I know that it's not. Does anyone know it?

THE IMPOSSIBLE QUESTION:
Norris and Zorna were planning to spend a Friday night at the movies. Zorna was informed that she would have to bring her younger brother, Peyton. Once the movie started, 17-year old Zorna remembered that she is older than Peyton and that he had not yet turned completed elementary school. Zorna broke out in laughter.
BASED ON THE PARAGRAPH ABOVE, STATE THE EXACT AGE OF PEYTON.

SO... is this impossible or did someone get it??

The other day I was all alone in my house. My husband was out in a business trip and my kid was in school. I was feeling really horny and decided to go masturbate since my husband wasn't coming until the end of the week. I put on some stockings and sexy bra. Then I started watching a sex video of my husband and I made 2 months back. I was getting really into it. Then I decided to take off one of my stockings and use it to blindfold myself so I can get a bigger rush and I also got my vibrator. I started going at it. My video at full blast, Im blinded folded and I was screaming loud. I was really getting into it then I feel hand tap me, I get really scared and take of the blind fold and it was my daughter. I was shocked. I quickly get under my covers and she asked me what am I doing? then she points at the TV? She started asking so many questions and I couldn't answer her. So I just change the subject and took her to the toy store. What should I do now?

My son was suspended for one day (tomorrow) from school. I will be working from home. Any ideas on how he should spend the day? I can't see letting him sit in front of the TV while I try to work. I want this to be a punishment, not another day off. However, he is hyper and needs something to occupy his time. Suggestions?

I went to my 7 year old son's parent teacher conference last night and had great reviews about him, but she addressed the fact that my son feels like he can't call me to pick him up when he feels ill, as it is hard for me to leave work and don't really have anyone available to pick him up...then she said that he seems to have the weight of the world on his shoulders...my son is very considerate and puts others ahead of himself...is that such a bad thing...and what exactly does she mean by saying that?? please help me out...thanks!!

Can anyone give me some ideas of how to help my son memorize his multiplication tables? We use flash cards but he can't seem to get that 2x9 is the same as 9x2 and forgets the answer, and it really frustrates him. Any ideas on how to help him would be appreciated. He's 10 and in 4th grade.

I'm a new divorced, forced into the work front mom. It's my first day of work and, oddly enough, my children's school was first delayed by 2 hours and then canceled. I did not plan on this as it is less than 2 inches of snow and nothing to call school off for. I am originally from Cleveland and am used to school being in session in blizzard like conditions! Anyhow... my kids are at that in between age where they aren't quite old enough to stay by themselves. One more year and my daughter could babysit her younger brother.

I want to know how badly it looks for me that I couldn't make it in. They are aware of my situation with my kids and my schedule as I informed them up front that I need to work around a certain schedule. They are willing to allow me to come in tomorrow for oreintation, but I worry that this may happen more frequently than I originally thought.

What do others do when school is canceled last minute and you need to go to work and have no sitter?

I have a 1st grader that has a very good teacher. There are 2 more 1st grade teachers (new to the building that followed the new pirinipal). They feel like their kids are "bad". There is a rumor that students will be moved around to accomodate their WHINING. Meaning innocent kids will have to be displaced to another teacher this late in the school year. I need advice.

My 12 year old was able to skip a year, so he's in 7th grade this year. He's always got so much homework to do. He fell asleep last night at the table working on his math and he only had like 5 problems left to do. I sent him to bed then I felt sorry for him so I finished it up for him (I tried to make it look like his handwriting). He had done the rest of the problems, so I know he knew how to do them, but was it wrong of me to finish it for him?

She's had a bit of a cold for a couple weeks. Yesterday, she spiked a fever of 102.3 and now it's still 102.2. She has the cough, the body aches, the sniffles, the runs, the nausea. She woke up about 5 this morning throwing up bile and mucus into my trash can(had her in my room last night).
I have her drinking some weak chamomile tea with sugar, just so she'll have some liquids in her. Dry heaves are no fun.
Saltines and gingerale, and ice water, too.
What am I forgetting?

My eight year old is going through a really difficult phase right now. He has become so stubborn that he will not listen to reason from me or anyone else for that matter. I don't know why this has suddenly become the case, but even last night at tae kwon do, when the instructor broke the kids into groups, he refused to go into the one he belonged in. He stood with the kids who he felt he belonged with and when I tried to correct him, he told me I was wrong. This resulted in a time out given by the instructor, and when he was let back up he went to the very same group. I ended up taking him home and putting him straight to bed with no supper (a first for him). Today I opened his backpack and found a write up from school. He refused to listen to a teacher and got sent to the principal. I've now told him that Christmas is a time when kids get rewarded for their good behavior by receiving presents and that he's in danger of getting nothing. Is this wrong?

He is 8 years old now. He is immature for his age. He stutters in every sentence. He repeats a lot of things. He constantly yells out what he has to say instead of speaking it at a normal voice. He has an annoying voice. It's been like this since he was very young. He started speaking words around age 4. he did go to a special ed class for his problem, but he's out of it now. he is immature for his age. he likes watching baby shows for like 0-4 years old and find interest in the toys too. Is there a name for something that he could have?

We travelled and now are settled. She's extremely smart and a great "teacher's pet." Other kids are intimitated by her because she is so smart and loves to help. They tease her all the time because she gets straight A's and knows more than the class. Any suggestions for a good book, advice for my wonderful daughter. She was crying tonight and I don't know what else to say. I've bought her 3 books on how to handle bullies, etc., but she's super sensitive and they don't seem to help. PLEASE HELP!
