Confront all teachers involved at the same time. I had a similar issue at my son old school. It turns out that they were racist and cause my kids are half casts they were picked on. Even parents were telling there kids not to play with mine cause there daddy is black. Well I took my kids out of that school and put them into a great scholl and we haven't had any problems there. Good luck. Don't let them do this to you guys any more.

Did your child attend preschool before starting school? If so, what was her behaviour like then? If not, is she reacting to being away from you for long period of time? Each child reacts in a different way to being separated and maybe your child maybe just attempting to adjust to a major change. I would talk to the teacher, the principal and see if the school has a behavioural problems teacher that will help with any anxiety your child may be experiencing.

There is one more thing I need to ask, does your child ever hit you when she doesn't get her own way? If the answer is yes then maybe ( and I do mean maybe ) she has hit the teacher. If not, then ask your daughter whether she has hit any of the other children or any of the other children have hit her. Sometimes teachers react to what they see without finding out what has actually happened.

There is one more option, pull her out of the school, find her a spot in a preschool and enrol her in a different school next year.

Good luck!

I agree with everything you have written. Also keeping in mind that 5 year olds can be very sneaky so just because she says she hasn't doesn't mean she didn't.
It sounds like it may be an adjustment issue. It's a big step going to school. Make sure she isn't getting bullied at school also.

I hope you weren't offened but I just wasn't sure of you exact circumstances. I would maybe find another school if possible. This teacher is just teaching Kindy as an easy option and doesn't actually want to teach a child who needs a little more attention. I spoke to my cousin, who is a Kindy teacher, and she has had about 3 kids each year who need extra time. She said perhaps there is a personality clash between your daughter and the teacher. Apprentantly this is quite common and some teachers don't try to fix the problem.

Good luck to you and your daughter. Remember your daughters happiness is the most important thing.

I went through the same thing last year with my son but he had a great teacher who helped him out, they figured that at first it was to much for him so what we did was the first week he went for 2 hours a day and every week we gradually built it up hour by hour, and what a differnce it made, he still struggles a bit but this help with him getting used to going to school and not wearing him out straight away. I hope this helps, good luck

Well that makes 3 of us, I think you should go to the school, and ask to sit in on classes.  Most schools love extra free help! It is your right as a parent to know what is going on, and the teacher has a right as do the other children to work and learn in a safe environment, as does your child.  If something is going on and it is making your child act out you have the right to know.  Ask for a parent teachers confrence, and a meeting with the principal, and counselor.  That should help you get to the botom of this.  You know your child best, so if something is going on to upset her you need to find out.  Now also, alot of times parents are in denial when their children misbehave. Be prepared to see your child not at their best, but at least find out why.  That is the most important thing, if your child is hitting as they say there must be some reason.  Good luck, let us know how it goes.

I would perhaps have a meeting with the school principle and teachers involved,surely there can be some kind of solution worked out.I am confused as to why they would be saying she is hitting them if she is not????Perhaps you could offer to do some volunteer teachers aiding in her class room to see what is going on with your daughter and the teacher,maybe she is clashing with the teacher and would benefit in transfering to another class.Hope you find a resolution for your problem regards Merle

I was going to say the exact same thing.. Set up a meeting at the school and talk to the principle. They shouldn't be sending her home every day at 11am. Also if the principle don't give you the answers that you want to hear, then I would suggest that you talk to the school board. They may be able to help you. Good luck and hope everything works out soon!
