recess. Fine we understand that. I forgot to put his blue sheet in his agenda to hand back into his the time out teacher. And today my (7yr old) son came to me after school and told me that his time out teacher said to him today,"if you don't bring back the blue sheet signed tomorrow you will get Three more time out periods." Is she making a Threat to a 7 year old???

I am a very involved parent! Actually sometimes I am probably considered TOO involved. As is my husband. The only reason why it was not sent in was because my husband was out of town starting up coordinating a new project and he needed to sign it as well. She should have called us. He is just a 7 year old child. (just turned) I and then both my husband and I did sit down with him and told him that his behaviour was not acceptable he new and was remorseful. Not to mention that I did speak with his classroom teacher and she was well aware of the fact that I knew about the "blue sheet" It is their lack of communication with each other. They go by the book, NOT logic and reasoning. This new generation of teachers are horrible. Only a small percent of them actually care about the students rather than what is in it for them. ie coming back from maternity leave later but with enough time 15 weeks to qualify for their summer pay. Shame.

FYI our son had his xbox taken away for the week for this. I do not need someone else telling me that "children need discipline" We are good parents people need (teachers and administration) to stop treating all parents like they negligent and stop making assumptions.

Well the reason for the "blue sheet" is to make sure that the parent is aware of the child's behavior. She probably thought that he had not brought it to you and that is why he did not turn it in. I would sign the sheet and bring my child and the sheet to school tomorrow and talk to the teacher. Explain to her that it was not your son's fault and that you would rather she call you next time then threaten your son with more punishment. (That is what I would do)
I understand that teachers want more parent involvement, but I feel that a phone call accomplishes more than a "blue sheet" or "red sheet" or any type of paper that you sign. Especially when it is about your child's behavior towards another student.
Also, you should probably explain to your son that it is not okay to speak to others the way he did. If you don't make a point of doing that then he is just going to think that his teacher was just over reacting.

Yes and No. I think the schools are trying to get the parents more invloved. Making you sign the sheet and return it to the school signafies that you were aware of your child behavior and it is making you do a little extra work due to as part of your son's punishment. But the "threat" should have been sent home in note form or she should of called you instead of putting it on the child like that. I would ask that next time the teacher notify you of something you forgot rather than worry the child with it as I'm sure your child was.

Take it to the teacher or attach a note that apologizes for the oversight of sending it back. Let the teacher know what steps are being taken at home and assure them that you would like to stay on top of this to insure this won't happen again.
Thank them for their patience and don't make mention of the threat. The teacher was trying to motivate the student to remember the sheet and will likely not punish if the item is returned.

Simply call the teacher or write a formal letter to the teacher who is enforcing the punishment. Explain why the letter hasn't been turned in to her yet and let her know you are informed of the situation and have taken affirmitive action at home with your child. Let her know you are doing the best you can, and if she has any problems with this, to feel free to call you. Good luck.

What the hell is a "time out teacher"? I don't think she's making a threat. It is probably some ridiculous policy they have. Bring it up at your conference.
P.S- Time out is supposed to be a way to remove a child from a situation where he can't control himself. He is supposed to calm down, and return when he is ready to behave. It is not supposed to be used as a punishment, and certainly not for calling someone a name.

No, a wager isn't only a wager if acted on. What your son said is also taken as a "terroristic chance" and may have him more beneficial than in basic terms expelled. i might want to sense free THEY (the school) are literally not urgent expenditures and that i might want to commence engaged on him about dealing with his anger. Do you imagine he'd get away with that as an human being? At a interest later in existence? No, they are going to arrest him and also you do not desire this habit confirmed by YOU early on...it leaves him with the come to a decision that his mom will continuously be there to strive against his fights or continuously take his area. don't be his pal, be his mom and splendid him at the same time as he's contained in the incorrect...and he's. it truly is in basic terms not uncomplicated to settle for at the same time as our youngsters attempt this stuff. We sense they were provoked and perchance, in some procedures he grow to be. yet i'm getting provoked at my interest and so do you, yet we do not threated to homicide human beings out loud. We a minimum of save those options to ourselves. so for you to coach him that. and the thanks to get out of situations that are complicated with out coming off as offended.

I wouldn't consider that a threat. She is only informing him of the consequences of not returning the blue sheet.

she probably doesn't think he has given it to you and is just explaining the consequences if he doesn't bring it back. Make sure you put it in his bag now
