teacher problem? or overprotective parent?

Question

child is in kindergarten, there is the teacher and the helper..so far they have had 3 helpers, plus the teacher was out for maternity leave, they have a color system, green is good, yellow is slight problem, red is bad, our daughter once a week gets put on yellow...the reasons have been
not knowing how to use the sink in the bathroom
looking at dog poop in the school yard when everyone else was looking at it
talking in the hallway (however the child behind her was digging his nails into her head)
spilling her water on accident
a few minor incidents that were her fault (she is a talker, but has the ability to control herself most of the time)

however..recently she was put on an allergy medicine, a side effect is frequent urination, which I told the teacher about, today she had to go to the bathroom before the scheduled time, and today was also the day the new helper came, my child was accused of "testing the new helper" and put on yellow for insisting that she had to pee

yes I had already posted a question concerning this teacher, these were the other problems we are having, the problem is, I'm worried that if I address these issues, it will make the rest of the school year very uncomfortable for our child, and when I discuss it with my mother and husband....they kinda smirk and don't really say much...they both think i'm overprotective, so my worry is that thats what this is, me being over protective, and nit picky...Help!

Answer 1

I don't think you're being overprotective. The teacher obviously didn't communicate to the helper about the allergy meds and gets your kid in trouble. You might want to ask the teacher to clarify what behaviors equal green, yellow, and red & what behaviors allow a kid to go from red to yellow and yellow to green. It just doesn't sound very clear and if grownups find it confusing, imagine how confusing it can be to kindergartners. At least by asking, it will urge the teacher to clarify it and you can work on it with your daughter at home.

Answer 2

as a mother i believe you can never be over protective we have these feeling for a reason and i do think your right it sounds like this teacher is over whelmed with her job and is targeting children to be angry at
you may want to talk to other parents in the class and find out if its just your child or others as well if more than one of you have issue with this behavior the Principal will take notice faster

you have the right to spend time in your child's class see for yourself what is happening then take the following steps

1) confront the teacher explain you feel she is pickin on your child and you will not put up with it
2) go to the principal find out if this is new behavior for this teacher
3) ask to have your child moved to a different class


as a mom i know kinder gardeners have a tendency to talk and you cant schedule what time a child has to use the bathroom

A sheltered life did no longer "reason" your "issues". Your sheltered life has led you to have faith you have issues on account which you don't be attentive to the behavior of the inhabitants of different persons. adult males of your age are attracted to pornography and masturbation regardless of if or no longer they have been sheltered or no longer. "Unsheltered" boys deliver mutually around the campfire watching "grimy" books all over the U.S. enhance your horizons and hit upon a girl chum. Get a life!
