I am watching a kid that his parents are going to take him out of pre-k because he gets sent home a lot. The problem is, he isn't THAT bad, but he does talk a lot and you have to catch his attention sometimes to get him to listen. They send him home when he misbehaves but they don't put him in a corner ot time-out. I went to time-out quite a few times in preschool and kindergarten, and I hardly ever acted up. I'm beginning to think he has acted up on purpose so he can go to my house and play with my son. He is so excited when he sees me. What do you think? Shouldn't a teacher utilize the corners in their classroom?

No, I asked and his mom said the teacher has just been sending him to the office. That's what I really don't get because he was bad at first mostly because he'd never been in a classroom type place where he had to be quiet, but now he's just acting up for a ticket home.

They do not do too much anymore. That's because of the threat of lawsuits and the politically correct attitude all over the country. Most of us were disciplined when we went to school and it may have been very forceful. However that is not done anymore. Typically kids are allowed to just run free. And if they overdo it then the teachers will try to get some doctor to push drugs down the kid's throat. They get diagnosed with ADD, or ADHD, or whatever. When I was a kid we were never diagnosed we just disciplined and made to behave. Now we don't do that and I think that needs to change. Try to help this kid at home and see if that doesn't help his behavior at school. Good luck.

My son is in preschool and they do time-out for most misbehaviors. I know that one kid's parents got called to pick him up one time because he kept running out of the classroom down the hall so there are some behaviors they'll call parent's about. The teacher should do what she can, but if a child is constantly a problem, perhaps he's not developmentally ready for school yet. It may be best for his parents to take him out for now and then try again next fall.

maybe you can try to ask his parents can you come into his classroom sometime to sit with him since he adore you
and see will that help out some
i had a close friend try that with my son in his first grade year and it worked for him
my though may be rewards for good behavior verses disipline may work better maybe have a point system
but last year was really bad for my son he didn't get to go on any field trips was send home from school every week for at less twodays a week
i got fed up and call the school board of education and also talk to the principle to schudule a meeting for a behavior plan they used my ideas and my husband ideas this is his second on the plan and it is working good

The parents should do that, if the child continuously acts up the parents should be notified. The teachers can only control so much in the class rooms. Unless you have spoken with the teacher she may have done time outs and to the point nothing seems to work. So their for she did the right thing send him home.

Schools have a policy now that if the kid acts up they get sent home...zero tolerance rule. They are not allowed to enforce any discipline on children so they have to be sent home. Sounds like the kid you are referring to does know he will be sent to your house which is more fun for him than being at school so he does it on purpose. My son used to do that when he was young and would actually say "I am going to be bad at school today so I can go home"!!

I think they should because the kid will know that he just has to talk to act up and he gets to go home. As time goes on that wont happen. I think they should teach these kids at a early age.
