Here's hoping things get better. I can't imagine such a power struggle with a woman that you have to trust with your baby...even though he *is* big enough to be in kindergarten!Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13463999246485742293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8836584.post-34104888360888218332007-09-14T18:32:00.000-04:002007-09-14T18:32:00.000-04:00Being a first time kindergarten mom IS confusing, ...Being a first time kindergarten mom IS confusing, and overwhelming, and all of those things. And your son's teacher should know that. All schools have their rules, but there needs to be an abundance of grace for those parents who are new to the school. It sounds like to me there needs to be a better school wide policy on how new parents are welcomed and oriented to the school. I hate to think of what happens to a parent who enrolls their child mid-stream, say at 3rd or 4th grade. Sheesh!<BR/><BR/>This really gets my goat because I am the current Chair of our school's Welcome Committee. Maybe, down the road, you could start a similar committee at your school? We do a lot of things to try and help new parents navigate all of the ins and outs of our particular school. I think our presence has also helped make the staff more aware of how they can help new parents and students.Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05528541804521203406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8836584.post-72018031937307635292007-09-14T16:45:00.000-04:002007-09-14T16:45:00.000-04:00I forgot to mention that there are five kindergart...I forgot to mention that there are five kindergartens with 20 kids each which is 100 kids being let loose in this little area with one small opening in the fence that divides kids from parents.

The teachers bring the class out to this little area and all of us parents have to wiat outside the gate. Everyday is a chaotic feeding frenzy with people pushing and shoving to get to their kid.. It makes no sense to me. There has to be a better way, you know?<BR/><BR/>Who knew that kindergarten was going to be this hard...on us parents?!!!!Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12635877618193159522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8836584.post-59078515663239305282007-09-14T14:24:00.000-04:002007-09-14T14:24:00.000-04:00No kidding on the sit-down.

As a first-time K mom, I was also clueless to the multitude of rules this entails, but Monkey's school handled this all much better.

I wonder if the entire school is a problem or if it's just this particular teacher. In either case, this is not a good thing and should not be happening.niobehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10685766216611639434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8836584.post-34791630260348401562007-09-14T10:52:00.000-04:002007-09-14T10:52:00.000-04:00Oh my!

I've had two kids go thru kindergarten and this is not something that is typical at all. Of course, I'm sure you already know that.
