Q:
I'm not happy with how my son is being treated - what do I do about it?
I'm having a dilemma; my four year old son just started pre-k today, and it is his second experience in a classroom setting, although it has been over a year since he was in child care setting. He was a bit hesitant when I dropped him off but I was confident that he would get back into the swing of things. When I arrived to pick him up, the first thing the teacher said when she saw me was, "Boy, do I gotta talk to you!" I didn't know what to expect. When I saw my son, his pants were unbuttoned and practically falling off, his belt was unbuckled, and his shirt which I so neatly tucked in was all a mess falling out of everywhere. It was apparent that no one was paying him any attention since he was a such a "terror" for them. I was then told that he did not respond when called, he urinated outside after notifying a teacher that he had to "go peepee", and that "there were certain activities that [the class] could not participate in because of his behavior." I felt like they were punishing him by ignoring him. And to top things off, I didn't hear ONE positive thing said about my son. Needless to say, I was more upset at the teacher than at my son. I expected SOME acting out as it was his first day, but I certainly didn't expect this kind of unprofessionalism from a teacher who has been teaching for over ten years. I have since been very upset at the way that he was treated and, essentially, ignored. I was wondering if anyone had any advice on how I should approach this matter without jeapordizing the quality of my son's education.
