Today many teachers don't want to deal with students with discipline problems because they fear they can be sued by the children's parents if they try (it had happened). At least that's what I heard from other teachers at the school I used to teach (they were really paranoic about that).
Besides schools don't pay good enough to worth the pain; after all, disciplining little monsters is a parents job.

I am sure they have tried other options to get your child to behave in the school setting, it is possible that your child is too immature or has developmental issues and the school has likely discussed this matter with you. It is not right to use the school as a babysitter, it is provided for your child to learn and grow, working together with the school's administration will work better for your child and yourself. If you do not believe your child is receiving the proper education, contact the school's district office and discuss the matter, otherwise, be a part of the decision process and come up with a solution.

Our school has a written policy on what they do in situations like this. Ask for your school's policy and take it from there. The other problem could be if your son is very disruptive to the others in the class then it's not fair to them or the teachers to spend so much time dealing with him. I am not saying that he is but if it turns out that's the way they feel about it.

Because you do not pay them, they are not your nannies. If he is disrupting the class room then the other children are suffering because there is no learning going on and the enviroment is not condusive to learning. The teacher is having to spend his/her time trying to take care of one child that doesn't listen. That is not fair to the rest. It is not weird. They are not there to discipline and teach your child manners and social skills. That is the job of the parents. You need to work with your son at home. My five year old struggled with this, I eventually found that using a star program with hime worked. He got stars for his chores and one if he behaved at school. The stars were worth 5 cents each and we added it up every two weeks, but you need to find a solution that works for your paticular child.

It sounds like he's acting out quite a bit...it's hard for any parent to admit that they might have a difficult child. My nephews are terrors...sweethearts around us...but terrors at school...they are probably sick of dealing with your son...there's nothing to be mad about...just talk to your son and let him know that this is not acceptable and you ahve to work...you can't be picking him up all the time. He's old enough to behave. My brother is a teacher and schools are to learn, not to be disciplinarians. If you have to ask this question...then you probably should try harder at making him behave.

Go to your schools special education director. Request a Functional Behavior Assessment. PUT IT IN WRITING. They have to provide this. It's the law.
They will develop a plan to identify and manage the behavior issues. Sending him home is a violation of the law.
Start doing some research on
Functional Behavior Assessment
IDEIA
Everyone who has made the "schools not a babysitter" comment frankly has no clue what they're talking about. Your child has to attend school, it's the law. Therefore it is not a sitter service. Secondly schools are obligated to provide a "Free and Appropriate Public Education" (look that up too) to all children. It is their obligation to identify and provide appropriate education to all children (including those with behavioral issues). They receive SPECIFIC federal tax money for it.

To protect the integrity of the school structure which is designed to protect students staff and learning. If your son Continues to disrupt, then there may be more than 'not listening' going on with him.

Um I don't know whatkind of trouble he is causing at school but it is weird for a school to call a parent to pick up their child unless he is causing serious problems. I would have a talk witht he school principle and the school counsoler and see what can be done about the situation.

You should look into changing schools because that can come to be a problem with them just calling you all the time to pick him up he is only six and how are they helping him learn if they are suppose to be a school and can't tolerate misbehavior sometimes.

Sounds like you need a new school for your son. By sending him home each time that he does not listen they are conditioning him to think "Okay if I don't listen then they will call Mommy"...that is exactly what he wants them to do, and he will start acting up more just so that they can call you. This is not the proper procedure that a school should take. My advice is that if it is a daycare think about finding him a different one or atleast talking to the director. If it is public school than it would not be so easy, but talk to the principal.
