My son just started Kindergarten and I went in with him on his first day. I took him to eat breakfast and the entire cafateria was silent. When I told him something a teacher turned to me and said, "Sshhhh" like I was a child or something. Then as we were leaving he said, "Mom" and 3-4 teachers sshhed him at which point I said VERY loudly, "Goodness Justin your school has been taken over by ****** Nazis" they didn't seem to think it was funny but I did. Then when I picked him up the teacher told me she had to send him in from recess for picking rocks up in the yard. He is a good kid and "collects" lots of things and rocks are his favorite. He always find rocks that are different in some ways from others and he pretends that they give him some sort of super powers. I don't see anything wrong with it it's not like he was planning on throwing them at other kids and they're pebbles mostly. Anyhow, don't these rules seem a bit extreme? When I was school one would have never heard

... of such a thing as no talking at lunch. I was just wondering if any of you have had similar situations where that you thought they were awfully tough on 5 year olds?

Colorist,
Most teachers that I know were college partiers that never got over their summers off. Therefore, they became teachers to keep acting like the college adolescents they are. After a while, they begin to hate their jobs, and the kids they are supposed to serve, because they want not only their summers off, they want their classes to begin at 10 in the morning and end by 2.
So, since life isn't one big party, they become frustrated and take out their anger on your kids.

Well, you lost my sympathy with your cursing in front of the kids. Anyway, although I don't really agree with the silence in the breakfast room I will tell you that it is more common than you might think. The reason is that kids get VERY loud and then very boisterous in that setting. It can be very difficult to keep control of a large roomful of kids. The other side is that some parents would complain if they walked in and it was loud and appeared out of control.
As far as the rocks are concerned, every child who picks up a rock will say they weren't going to throw it. But often that rock just somehow gets loose. And I could be wrong, but I'd bet you would be the parent who screamed the loudest and threatened to sue the school if your child ever got hit with a rock.
You are probably right about when you were in school. Things have changed- a lot. Many years ago, if a child was hit by a rock, odds are the parents would have said, "Stay away from that child" and that would have been the end of the issue. Now, parents pull their child out of the school and try to sue. Years ago, most kids were taught how to behave in public, how to get along with others. Now many kids have never been given any instruction on public behavior or are encouraged to "be themselves" at the cost of everyone around them.

I know, when my little brother started kindergarten my mother got this questionnaire asking alll kinds of personal information about their life at home. The schools are getting ridiculous. It's always one extreme or the other. Either kids can get away with murder or they have to walk the perfectly straight path.
Let's hope they don't start making the kids salute the swastika or say "Heil Hitler" in class!

Check out other schools. They aren't all like this! Many kindergartens are loving, child-centered places. Once you find the school you like tell your son to make sure he never throws any of his rocks and watch your language at school. When you swear it makes you look like the nut, not them.

Is it possible to get him to another school? I work at a nursery where the children are encouraged to talk, exchange ideas, with their peers and well as the teaching staff. Learning through play is the school motto.
