My dd's preschool send their teacher to each and every kids house so they can meet on their own turf and get to know you and your child. I am amazed by this, is this a common occurrence?

To my sons teacher....you choose the behavior, you choose the consequence. You decided to have the affair with another students father (married) and you also being married. This drama played out the whole school year. Stop being the victim. This has made for a most uncomfortable schoolyear. Before you return next year, please work thru your issues. very awkward for the rest of the students, parents, and staff.

DD's meeting with her speech therapist and teacher went well. The teacher said she's noticed a big improvement the past few months in her moods/behavior. Our biggest change this year was dh starting a new shift, and he's gone about 11 hours a day (6:30 pm to 5:30 am). Been a big adjustment for everyone. Her bio dad also gave up his rights earlier this year and dh adopted the girls. Feeling more hopeful-her teacher told us that she has spirit, and such a good heart. And she thanked us for being such good parents. (teary eyed right there!) I'm thinking we'll get through this!

Meeting with dd7's teacher and speech therapist today to see where she's at with speech therapy. Then asking her teacher what, if any concerns, she has with dd's behavior, so I can set up an appointment with her doctor. I am at a loss as how to help her anymore:( She's moody and up and down and cries over nothing. Sleep is a big part of it, and we've gotten that somewhat figured out, but she still is just so...I don't know how to explain it. It breaks my heart when she is so miserable. I don't want her on medication, and am hoping our doctor can help me with some other ideas to try...

The teacher gave out phone numbers. 2 diff women called me with messages like "if you care about your child, you'll volunteer the the auction Saturday." I care but I won't be there, sorry, I have to work. Not that you've ever said hello to me before when I've seen you at school.

Well, you let your kid hand in her project entitled: "the extinction of sea turtles-ain't nobody got no time for that!" to her ELA teacher and then YOU get annoyed when she doesn't approve of the wording? Sure she should let them use their creativity, but shes THE ENGLISH TEACHER! What did you expect?

In Maryland the kids don't make anything for Mother Day at school. Or Fathers Day. Or Easter. Or any winter holidays. Or Thanksgiving. Or Admin Assistant Day. Or Bosses Day. BUT all that's holy they celebrate Teacher's WEEK and the kids have to bring in flowers one day, make a car another. They want parents to bring in potluck to feed them lunch. And more.

My teacher assigned us a mother's day project in 4th grade. My mother died in 911 that school year and I didn't do it, gave me a 0. She knew she had died since not only was I called out of class that day, she went to the funeral. watching my classmates make their projects upset me the most.

Dear teachers. I actually do expect you to come up with some kind of project for the kids to do for Mother's day. But you know why I expect it? It's because every Mother's Day they bring home a project they did at school. The first year my kids went to school I was pleasantly surprised, but now I would be sad if they didn't bring something home because one teacher decided not to do it.

My DS6 is super emotional lately. Little things will cause him to stomp off & cry. Or at soccer he has gone from being fun to part way through pushing kids for the ball, etc. He jerks away from me when I try to talk to him. Nothing has changed that I know of. Stable parents, always with us if not at school. No new friends, teacher doesn't note any issues at school. Is he just learning to deal with emotions now? It's so frustrating!
