I took my son to preschool this morning and come home so upset, i am not sure if i want to scream or cry. On Wednesday when i dropped him off i saw him being bullied while 2 teachers stood and watched. So I mentioned something they said they will talk to the boys later.Today i asked her if that is normally how my son is treated by the boys because he is always saying he has no friends and the other boys will not play with him. The teachers have always told me he is a loner and does not want to make friends.Today she tells me that normally my son is the one who punches the other kids. That is when i really felt like telling her off, he has been going their for 18 months now and she has never mentioned that he hits other kids before and i have asked her continually how he relates to other kids because he is due to see a pedetracian next week for a behavourial accessment and i have been after information to tell the pedetrician. I have also been wanting a report for the pedetrician and they have still not done one. Sorry about all the whinging but i am so angry and upset i just had to vent. He is due to start school next year but if they are not telling all that is gong on with him then how am i going to prepare and teach him the things he needs to know to cope with school.

Deb I feel for you mate ....

 

okay What I did was Drop Talia off ( when she was in Pre school ) and walked out of the room - BUT I DIDN'T LEAVE THE CENTER - I watched through the window so I could see everything for my self -

 

I found that Talia was going up to kids and then they would throw things at her or pull her hair while the STAFF sat there drinking their COFFEE - I am all for let the kids sort them selves out. But after reading her report card 3 weeks prior they said she couldn't build a tower of block any higher then 3 ( WHICH IS BOLLOCKS SHE COULD BUILD TALLER THEN HERSELF)

 

I stormed in there grabbed Talia and Told off the staff members - I stormed in the Directors office without knocking too and ripped into that thing as well - I have never returned!!!!

 

So Basically Deb you know your son - You'd know if he was the one that would cause fights first or if He was sticking up for him self - I suggest that when you pick him up this arvo - Just watch through a window mate you see everything that goes on cause when you are there the staff Play " THE I AM SOOO NICE " - With the report

ASk for it tell them that you have waited over 3 weeks for it and you need it on Monday! then on Monday don't leave till you have it ... YOU ARE PAYING THEM TO LOOK AFTER YOUR SON Not to look AT your son

typo's :P

Well Neat said it well, I would be fuming too let me tell you have had a share of my own issues with my son and I do take charge with it. I can't believe after over 1 year they haven't said anything to you that would **** me off the most.

I feel for you too Deb.

My son Alex is just starting Kindy next term. I hope it all goes well for you.

Thanks Guys, the thing that has upset me the most is that they have never said anything to me and have made out they everything is great at preschool and he has a fun time. I am so hanging out for next week when i will hopefully get some answers to some problems he is having so i can be ready for school next year.

Oh mate... Not cool!!! They should have told you about any issues when they happen!!! Regardless of what they were. That is their JOB!!!!! Grrrr...

Things have improved, i went to preschool to pick up my son and came home with a report and also had a good talk to the director who is also his teacher. She explained it does not happen that often and because of his condition he is not doing it to be mean so they did not feel that it needed to be mentioned.

Good help is hard to find Deb. I once had an issue with my daughter 's so called "teacher" at her pre-school. This one day I stayed with my daughter for half an hour and they were all told to sit down on the mat. They did this and the teacher started to talk about the weather. She was telling the kids what a terrible day it was with all the rain and wind when in fact it was a very sunny day. My daughter put her hand up and told her it wasnt raining and that the sun was out! She said to Lauren," Oh, dont be so stupid!" Well I saw RED !!!! :devil: :devil: I swear this woman had a screw loose. I proceeded to take Lauren by the hand, marched out the door with her and went straight into the Directors office and told her what just happened. I then withdrew Lauren from her class and she was put in with a more "sane" teacher. I got a phone call from this particular teacher that night and she apologized to me for calling my daughter "stupid". Who's the stupid one???? She left a few weeks later !!

Now getting back to your problem Deb, I hope everything works out with your son - if you cant get any satisfaction from the school, try different ones, I have found they all vary in the quality of teaching and their dedication to children.
