Hi mmdd!!
A tempertantrum!!!! There must be more to it!! ALL 3 year olds have tantrums!!! (or was he 4?) Regardless, have they tried dealing with it?
This irks me, i use to teach preschool, and ALL kids have some sort of issue or another.
He's 4 1/2. That's all there was to it. They didn't act like they wanted to help any, they even said that his behavior had improved!!!
We're looking into it...what can we do about it. It's a church, and these are supposed to be good christian people.....they're supposed to help people, not shut them out. I don't get it!

That's unreal. My guess is that the "teacher" isn't qualified to be a teacher - many church preschools and religious schools don't have any kind of requirements past belief in whatever religion they're teaching. Anyone who has taken classes in early childhood education (and any parent for that matter) knows this is a part of growing up. The child simply doesn't know how to express his/her feelings in what we deem an appropriate manner, or they just get overwhelmed - especially if this is their first classroom situation. Any good teacher should use this as an opportunity to help the child grow and learn strategies for dealing with his/her emotions in a positive way. Any good teacher knows this is not uncomon behavior in kids of that age and, while it is certainly frustrating, they have strategies for dealing with it. Unless there is physical violence against another student, they have no business kicking him/her out of school.
You should make it known to them that you will actively discourage other parents from placing their kids (and therefore their money) in that school.

I'm away from CC for like a day and a half and you post this! This is crazy! What kind of school are these people running anyways????!!!! the worst part is they say they are christians, but sure are not acting like it. You should see some of the kids and how they behave at the church I go to. I think their parents drop them off so they can just get a break away from them and run errands. Have to say that these wild-hard to be with kids are the ones that most of us like the most. Never would we kick the little ones out for behavior--that's just aweful! I'm sorry this has happened to you and your little man, but may be you are better of without having him there in the first place if this is how they take care of things. For goodness sakes he's 4 1/2 not 24 1/2 if he acts up so what...he's 4!!! that's what 4 year old do! speaking of 4 year old mine just took his underwear off and is running around the couch..have to go catch him.
They said that even though he has improved, and has only thrown 2 tantrums in the past 3 or 4 weeks, he's disrupting the classes.
Alltogether, there are 3 classes, a total of 31 children, and it's only 3 hours a day and 3 days a week.
We're starting to think that we're not in their "clique" b/c we go to a different church.
His teacher has been doing this for 12 years, that's the kicker!! She just acts like she doesn't want to even help him. I've stayed there for the entire 3 hours a few days to help them out in case he threw a tantrum. He didn't know I was there, but one time he started to run away from her, they had went outside....so she immediately chases him down and just holds him down, acting like she has no patience at all.
We're also thinking that this is probably a blessing in disguise, but it's how we & our son was treated that really upsets us.
These people have money!! I mean, money! These are the people that give atleast $50+ on sun. morning. These people won't speak to you, they turn their nose up to you.
I just wanted him to have some classroom structure before Kindergarten....because we can't afford $65 a week for the daycare's preschool.
Running around w/o his underwear....hmmmmm ....lol, hope you have fun getting his clothes back on.
this probly is a blessing in disguise for your family then. If the teacher has no patience and the people act like this who go there then your little boy probly doesn't need to be there in the first place. Glad you are (somewhat) ok with everything. You are a good mom from everything that I've read, so be very proud of that! Your son is lucky to have you.

Aww..shucks, gee thanks!! LOL! Seriously, thank you!!
I guess what doesn't kill ya, makes ya stronger, and I'm assuming you know that too!
okay, so read it over -- wow, i wonder just how much "trouble" ur son is causing & like u said how much of it is just "them"
good luck girl-chin up--heck stick ur nose up at them too -lol
mk--double wow--u r a survivor, and just remember that if you help just one of those kids in drivers ed with the picture & clothes, etc, then you've done so much right there!!!
