Re: Help! - 6 year old daughter Misbehaving in School

honestly, by the time I'd read through all the history, I didn't know what
to believe, I expect there are some kind of issues with your child at
school, but I doubt they are what the school is saying and I doubt they are
exclusively anyones fault, either school, parents, or an intrinisic
behavioural issue of a particular child.

I've not picked up why you haven't just put her into public kindergarten, or
whether the current kindergarten is full day or half day, maybe if it's full
day, then it's too much for her, or the program doesn't have enough variety
and chill out time, or maybe she finding the "work" a bit hard and is
reacting, either way, the fact the school has no idea or no suggestions, to
me is a very bad sign, whilst teachers don't have hours of free time to chat
to each parent, if there is a problem with a child, they need to watch that
child more closely for a while to see if they can see any causes, direct or
indirect, even if they can see no reason, they should still be able to
suggest management strategies and it does often have to be a mix of home and
school, sometimes you have to change something at home to make school work
and vice versa.

The way I see it is that she has to change kindergarten sooner rather than
later, I think this is beyond a specific problem that can be solved, it
seems to be a mismatch of a family and a school (and possibly deeper, the
school as a whole does not sound good to me), that is not going to be worked
through.
