Should this be happening at school?

Actually, it should read "My typo's and I," :rotfl::p.

Sorry! I couldn't help myself...

:eek:That is incorrect - you wouldn't say "leave I alone", would you? And typos is the correct plural, not typo's. Sorry!:p

I'd treat it as him being reprimanded for disruptive behaviour and pretty much ignore what he was actually doing tbh.

You are approaching this from the wrong angle imo.

He needs to learn to behave himself at school and pratting about in a lesson is most definitely out of order, no matter what he was doing!

Forget about what he was doing and tell him off for misbehaving at school! I would consider a sanction at home if he gets another 'charge' and would certainly let him know you support the school when it comes to discipline.

By suggesting they are overreacting to the 'sexual' bit, you are failing to teach your child that misbehaving in class is wrong!

If you ensure he knows to behave himself, the rest will follow. He should not act that way because it is disruptive, full stop! If he knows how to behave then he will do just that - problem solved without needing to fret over the willy issue!

well to be frank - if you havent got children then you DONT know what they are like at home versus school do you? you KNOW what you need to know to teach them. not how to raise them - a different matter entirely!!

and this is why Parents get bloody fed up with teachers thinking they know best!

you are so patronising January its unbelievable! It's your posts which which turned this thread into a Teacher V Parent debate!
The OP had said nothing to criticise or doubt the teacher much less verbally flog them!

Take your prejudices and start your own thread - and let this get back to the nice thread it was!
(I do hope you are not teaching my grandkids btw)

I think this is an unnecessarily unpleasant post. I am not a teacher or any kind of teaching professional, just a parent, and I read some of the posts to which January responded to mean that parents know more about young children than teachers, which I too thought was ridiculous. Some parents are excellent, some teachers may be a bit out of touch, but my experience has always been that most of the teachers who have taught my children at primary school have known exactly what makes them tick.

The bare feet thing happens in my son's school too, it's so they don't slip. I always hated it when I was a kid, made my feet feel dirty and horrible!

I think I will have to argue with the position of your apostrophe. Should it not be "my typos"? as "my typo's" would lead me to ask "my typo's what?" "my typo's shoes?" "my typo's sister" as placed in this position it signals a possessive doesn't it? As in "my sister's book is on the shelf" :rotfl:

Thank you nicky. I had chosen to ignore the post you quoted. I didn't think I was being patronising, just defensive. At least you took the time to read the posts I was reacting to.

I had the same experience with the teachers at my dd's primary school! And I know plenty of good parents and plenty of bad ones too.

Bennifred, I'm sorry I hadn't read your reply to Heart Shaped Diamond's post! Didn't mean to repeat what you said!

Hear Shaped Diamond, I love your signature! And your tongue in cheek sense of humour. I don't mind being corrected on my English. This is how I'm learning everyday, but I do not want a person to try and make a fool of me, like the poster I was quoting.

I am still concerned over the use of the term, "charge." It is a little bit on the severe side. It doesn't allow for much positive reinforcement.

Is it just me wondering about this:why were they all standing there holding their socks? asking for trouble, IMO ...

But I'm the mother whose child insisted that S was for Sperm in Reception ... who also drew a penis on his alphabet chart, with pee coming out of it. The effect was somewhat spoiled by its similarity to a carrot, but there you go.

His bit brother had just had 'the talk', and we'd been asked to chat about it at home, which we'd done. I thought big brother would find it less awkward if he didn't have to have 'the chat' on his own.

Brilliant!

I used to teach antenatal classes, so my kids know a lot about where babies come from and how they are born. I've always answered their questions honestly and both children are quite unfazed by it all.

They did amuse themselves (and us) on a car journey by making up a loud song that went "Penis, penis, PEEEENIS, Vagina, vagina, VAGIIIIIINA." I really hope they've never sung it at school.

AFAIK, all 7 and 8 year old boys find anything scatalogical or genital absolutely hilarious. To be fair, you are never too old for a fart joke.

It sounds like the school are being a bit heavy handed here.

You might if you knew the Krek Waiters Peak Bristle, I believe, but not normally, I agree, and you were spot on about the apostrophes!

exactly: it's a terrible idea. Floors should have a practical surface for wearing shoes! Bad enough doing PE in bare feet, but taking your shoes and socks off every time you go into the hall? What do they do at dinner time? I can't bear to think about bare feet in the hall AFTER dinner, btw!
