I think it's my first formal time to go to see my child's teacher because of his bad behaviors at school. When I learned it yesterday, I was in shock. Because I couldn't imagine how my child would make troubles in school. It sounded a little serious as I had to go to school.
Today I saw his teacher and she told me it was a "joke" to him and she didn't expect that I would really go to school. I asked her what's wrong. The teacher said that my son didn't have a sleep at noon and talked with other children in the kindergarten. Then I felt released. Frankly, I don't think it's a terrible case. When a child goes up, he will have his own mind and won't always listen to us.

When my kids used to be in school I would never be called to visit a teacher unless it a parent teacher conference. One time the teacher walked my son to the car because he had done something wrong but we settle it there and then. My son apologized and the teacher said that it was enough. I would tell my kids that whatever they did I would hold them responsible for their actions so not to expect pity from me. I have a sister whose son is always in trouble but she refuses to admit it's her son's fault. She will actually argue with the teacher and anything he/she might say they did seems senseless.

I think so too but my sister is really sensitive when it comes to my nephew. He is ADHD so that is the main problem. He's been kicked out of schools because he can't control himself at times. Well instead of defending him in a positive way she will say for example if he was caught one time holding a child upside down she will say to the teacher that he was just playing. He meant no harm since he didn't drop him on his/her head. [andalond]
no, it does not seem like an offense to have a parent come in for. I do not agree with the teacher making such "jokes" with the child - is he not to take her serious - is he to consider her words dishonest? how will he be able to trust his teacher or what she teaches then? [Modestah]
you are a good mommy [Modestah]
We home school our children so we are able to take care of the problem right then and there. I have had to talk with some teachers about my son but its because he was bored and had finished his work and couldn't understand why the other kids didn't want to play. [gitfiddleplayer]
lol, I remembered once when my boy was still in school, I was summoned by his class teacher to school because he has been loading his school bag with comic magazines. Instead of learning the class lesson he has been influencing his classmates reading comics under the table while the teacher is teaching in front. That incident is so embarrassing to me that I have to frequently check his school bag from then on. [zandi458]
Frankly, it's only a little mistake in my opinion. Children are like children and they also behave like thatwink [youless]
Some teachers get more offended by this kind of thing than others do. It is important that your child respect the rules, but you know, wanting to talk and being awake is not really a terrible thing. [GardenGerty]
I also think that these things won't be a big problems, especially for a child in the kindergartenwink [youless]
yes specially when they are younger. last month i was called at the school for i havea problem with my youngetst and she failed in a subject at school. i was there listening to the teasher of my daugther and my heart was all broken. she said that my youngets is so talkative. i know she is talkative i never thought that she will still be like this even now that she is in high school. i am a single mom and it is very hard for me to hear that she is failing. now it is summer vacation an she is going to summer classes for that single subject she failed. i thought the calling me at school ended years ago, here i am again. i just hope this will eb the last one.

I think everybody has different personality. Being talkative is not a bad thing. I even think it's very beneficial when you go to work. You will have a good social relationship. [youless]
