Should this be happening at school?

clare1076

i was asked to see my ds teacher the other week as ds who is 6 was caught lifting the girls skirts up at playtime with 2 friends and he'd also shouted sex across the room, i was mortified i never in a million years thought he'd do anytime like that. she said she'd dealt with it at school and he got upset and i assured her i would have a talk with him and make sure he understood it was unacceptable behaviour. he again got upset and assured me it wouldn't happen again and it's so far so good. it's difficult, you can't shield your children because they pick up words from the tv or conversations they hear or other children at school.

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

Sorry! I couldn't help myself...

Was it just me that thought this post was deliberately incorrect, I thought it was hilarious and was ROFLMAO until I saw others had taken it seriously... :rotfl::eek:

It prob will have started with a few of the kids who know that little bit more, and a acting as ringleaders and letting spill what they know- and of course 7 years old, perfect age for the laughs and rudeness to begin. But yes, nothing more than silly rude talk. It sounds more like the teacher herself did not expect it nor know how to deal with it. It's not just her job, but also the schools'. It all seems a bit harsh, but it's kinda something they need to address,and I guess accepting their curiosity is normal- but that that talk has no place in the classroom, nor is appropriate for their age. Yeah, it may invite questions- which just for now can be answered as simply as impossible..perhaps techincal names, but no more is needed. That may at least curb the rude slang. Least then you know you have done your bit. But not to worry, it does just sound like class silliness- but completely normal. But the staff at the school should be trained to expect and deal with this kind of thing appropriately.

Never mind, I was only joking! I wasn't really correcting anybody. I was just being cheeky!

They may get a rudimentary lesson at his age about their "private parts" but you should probably speak to him about doing this sort of stuff in front of girls. Boys don't really see girls as being different to them, at that age they will quite happily laugh about this stuff, whereas the often more mature girls, of the same age, will get offended or think that the boys are perverts. They will moan to a teacher and the boys get scolded for, what is for them, normal boyish behaviour.
It does sound as though the teachers are a little uptight though.

& of course in most cases its a female teacher.
who may not feel comfortable talking to boys about their body parts, & what isnt appropriate behaviour involving said body parts.


this post isnt anti-teacher or anti-female teacher, just pointing out a reality
