My little girl has been assigned to what is rumored to be?

Question

the MEANEST kindergaten teacher this year. Isn't it a law that all kindergarten teachers have to be nice? I can only hope this is just a rumor. How can she score some points first day? A nice shiny apple? Flowers?

oh, jersey redneck tell me whats really on your mind? Maybe your wranglers are just a little too tight today?

Answer 1

Don't worry to much. Some kindergarten teachers just have no nonsense approaches towards kids that some parents might not like. A cousin of mine is a kindergarten teacher and she's like that, but kids love her. Although she's strict with rules, she's great with the kids. The kids know their boundaries with her and they know what to expect.
Just keep the lines of communication open with the teacher and your child and see how it goes.

Answer 2

Meanest is a relative term. If you have 5 teachers, one will be the nicest and one will be the meanest even if they are all pushovers. Most likely, she just enforces a little discipline in her class or she might be a little older or not so pretty. Somehow, the same words and tone from a 50 year old teacher seem not as nice as from 25 year old. You can send whatever you want with your daughter but most important is that she bring her manners. Mean teachers get that way when kids interrupt or run around the room.

Answer 3

You shouldn't believe rumors. I think you should let your daughter go to Kindergarten and let her be. If your daughter starts complaining or gets sad or anything then just complain about the teacher on how mean she is and move her to another Kindergarten.

You do not teach your children to score points in school life because that will get her no where in her career. Let her learn the hard way and she will get better at it as time goes by.

As your daughter grows up and moves on to the higher schools she WILL get mean teachers and there is nothing you or your child can do about it. Bribing a teacher or putting an act on will not work.

Answer 4

1) That is the dumbest thing I've heard. Do you base your entire life off of just rumors? How about exercising a little maturity and intelligence and seeing for yourself instead of relying on second or third hand information. I'm sure things have probably been said about you in the past that weren't true. Wouldn't you like the benefit of the doubt?

2) Okay, scratch my first sentence. Asking if there is a law requiring Kindergarten teachers to be nice is BY FAR the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Can we pass a law requiring a minimum IQ for parents?

Here is an idea for scoring points on her first day:
1) Teach your daughter to be nice.
2) Teach her to be respectful
3) Teach her to think for herself or she'll spend her school days blindly following the opinions of others, much like her mother
4) Teach her to pay attention in class and follow directions

Answer 5

Just tell your little girl (or even bribe your little ) to be very good and pay extra attention because sadly with teachers like that they don't really usually buy into bribe, although a nice welcome card or congratulations on your job or a blank card and get to draw a picture and put that she's happy to have her as her new teacher etc all that crap but like i was about to say those types of teachers usually (although it is most probably a rumor anyway) just like the children to get down do the work no disturbances and basically they thrive off of being able to have a little whats know as '' teachers pet''. Sadly do you get what i mean? Try to get her a little card as i said- that might get her 1 or even two points but if she really needs those so called points as you say, then you really could do with her sadly kind of being one of these teacher's pets. Hey and if that still doesn't work out very well with all then well I'm sure you could find another way to get to know her yourself or something(maybe befriend her or summat).

Answer 6

This might be going out on a limb in this day and age but how about she just goes to school and behaves. Does what she is told when she is told without whinning or temper tantrums, and mind her manners.
Even if it is a mean teacher your lil girl might as well start learning that there are always going to be nasty people in the world and there is nothing she can do but deal with it.

Answer 7

your kid is gonna have to deal with mean people sometime, may as well start now. i remember i had the "meanest" teacher in kindergarten and to this day she is one of my favorite teachers. usually the ones that get that reputation are the teachers who expect a lot from their students and push them to their full potential. those are the teachers you want teaching your kid not just school lessons but also life lessons.

Answer 8

Put a wire on your little girl. Listen to it when she gets home. We had 4 kids who went to kindergarten in French countries. At least there is no "political correctness there". My sister's kids went to a school in Maryland where the teacher who was supposed to teach them reading did not speak standard English and couldn't spell. But she was an equal opportunity employee and couldn't be fired.

Unfortunately the US has tied itself in knots by failing to make basic teaching of academic subjects the sole priority of priimary schooling.

Answer 9

We used to freak out when my son was assigned a mean teacher. He is now going into the 6th grade, he has had 2 mean teachers, and they actually turned out to be some of his favorite teachers. He learned something unique from each of his teachers. Also, you have to remember that there are mean people in the world, and this will help him get used to the world.

Answer 10

MY son's teacher was also known as the meanest. She wasn't mean at all she didn't fall for all the stuff that parents do so kids don't get away with unjust . She was a good teacher and my son learned alot from her and now he says she was one of his favorites,,go figure?
