3 year olds are babies. They belong at home with a parent. 3 year olds have to be taught how to behave by their parents.
Its stupid to expect a baby to act civilized all day in a school atmosphere surrounded by other babies and a teacher.
Pre-K and I guess now Pre-Pre-K need to be ended as well as Kindergarten itself. Kids need parents teaching them until age six. The Kindergarten and Pre-K programs are glorified government paid daycare programs.
ALSO FROM THE ARTICLE:” And even still, when my children were born, I promised myself that I would not let my negative school experiences affect them..... Maybe I was just a bad kid. Maybe it had something to do with my father’s incarceration, which forced my mother to raise me and my brothers alone.”
Apple....tree, perhaps?
Throwing chairs and spitting are not normal behavior for that age. Four year olds know better, or should, and I wouldn’t have tolerated allowing my child to be around a kid like the ones in the mother’s column.
The school had to do something to protect the other children, and frankly, I’m surprised that these kids were allowed back a total of eight times. My daughter’s church-based, twice a week,half-day preschool would have and did expel kids for less.
What is a 3 y-0 kid doing in any school?
.
LOL. Sounds like you were a real hellraiser in preschool. ;-)
LOL! LOL! WHAT THE?? That is one mad BIOTCH! I wonder if she did the Egyptian side to side thing with her head before she threw that “OH NO YOU DEH-ENT! OH NO YOU DEH-ENT! IM GONNA GIT YOU MOFO!!!”
“He’s in school...where else do you think he should be?”
At age 3? Age 4? Generally, at home.
Some kids may be ready for a couple of hours of pre-school by 4 or so, but many kids should be at home with mom and or dad at age 3, and even at 4. Not every kid really should even be in in Kindergarten at 5.
As well, some kids just don't do well with prison cam —, er..., schools, and parents should try to make whatever sacrifices needed to homeschool those children.
It was clear that our older son was going to experience life-long problems if we continued to send him to a regular traditional school beyond Kindergarten. The teachers just couldn't keep up with him. So, we homeschooled.
The younger guy would have been labeled ADHD or something or other and forcibly drugged. We homeschooled him, too.
Wonderful experience. By the time they went to high school, they were ready to deal with the stupidity and venality of the educational system, we sent them both to a decent Catholic high school, they graduated at or near the top of their class.
They both did okay.
Much pain and suffering was avoided by figuring out early that traditional school didn't fit them when they were younger, and they didn't fit into traditional schools.

Some children at three are at home with mothers/fathers not in school full time.
It also sounds as though he might just need some time out of school with a parent that loves him and giving him full-time attention, not being forced to spend most of his waking hours with others "sharing and socializing."
I wouldn’t trust the teacher. The fact that she passed when it came time to disipline the 3 year old tells me she can’t handle the interactions (good and bad) between the students.
I also agree with whomever is saying what is a 3 yr old doing in a class anyway. A parent can teach their child more than any pre-pre-school class. Which reminds me. Wouldn’t this be for socialization. Teacher flunked!!
LOL!
I guess Mrs. Powell hasn’t read about the children being suspended for chewing their pizza into the shape of a gun, or drawing a gun, or any of the other harmless behaviors they’re suspended for these days.
Sorry, Mrs. Powell, but if either one of your sons threw a chair, spit on another child, or any of the other behaviors described in your article, they should’ve been disciplined and/or suspended. The children of the other mothers who are your friends should’ve been suspended, too. I have three sons and never had those kinds of problems with them.
I don’t know. I was kicked out of nursery school after one day. I was 3. My mother said I “wasn’t invited back” I never threw things. I guess I said something smart-assed. My middle child is like that, too.
It may definitely be a lousy teacher, but this is being held up as proof of racism. I just want to know more before I decide if this is a racist teacher, or just a lousy teacher.
A toddler who is already in the red on his “permanent record”.
Perhaps he has “Tunette’s Syndrome”?
In any case, maybe the parent ought to get rid of Dr. Spock’s handbook and start SPANKING the kid...he’s still young enough to get some useful results.
“The masculine energy will simply come out in some other, twisted way.” Sorry, throwing a chair isn’t boys being boys. It’s boys being spoiled brats. A suspension, and dear old dad walloping the kid on the butt would have been the order of the day in the 50s and 60s. Real men don’t throw chairs, and they don’t raise or tolerate brats.
Amen to that! Preschool is really daycare. Children do best at home with one loving constant caretaker, and that should be mom. Even in preschools children start to learn to run with the herd and take their values from their peers.
The government does everything it can to force parents out of the home and kids in daycare.
“Walloping” alone won’t help a warped family situation. Yes, those existed and showed forth Satan’s power in the 50s and 60s ... there’s nothing particularly sacred in those ages and to treat them like they were is to disrespect God (and that will REALLY get you a walloping, spiritually speaking).
