Meeting w/ds's Kindergarten teacher this morning

[Mermaid02]

He left a message yesterday that Jack "accidentally" knocked over Isac's lego building and then later "accidentally" kicked Hailee's towel when they were getting ready for rest. He said it was an accident until I asked him, "Were you mad at Isac?" he screwed his brow up and said,"YES!" he said that he wanted to play Lego's with Isac but Isac said no because he was playing with Conner and then Isac told him "You aren't my friend." Now, I have heard this story MANY times before and I have always kind of ignored it because frankly, I don't want Isac to be his friend. Isac started kindergarten last year but after he taught his class the "F" word it was decided he should wait a year.

Anyway- I have to go talk to Mr. P and I'm going to ask the boys be separated as much as possible. Do you think that's the right thing to do?

tell him to quit, kindergarten teachers should be women

I had to do that with my son and his partner-in-crime, Junior. Junior and my son are bad influences on each other, both are very chatty and whenever Junior and Luke are near each other, trouble ensues. I haven't heard one bad word since I asked to have them sitting at different ends of the classroom. They are still friends, but hang out during recess when its o.k. to be chatty.

While you may not like Isaac, the fact of the matter is that your DS was angry and acted out. I try hard to stay out of DS's personal battles. It's hard, but he needs to learn how to relate to his peers without his mother running interference.

I might be inclined to ask the teachers ideas for the hurt feelings your son is having. I always like to involve the teacher since he is the one who has to deal with the battles.
If he has no ideas then seperation might be a good idea.
{{{HUGS}}} for your ds and you!

I hope I didn't give the impression that I thought my sons "lashing out" was okay. Like I have said, I have heard the "Isac says he's not my friend" for MONTHS and I thought ds was dealing with it just fine- other than hurt feelings. Obviously not- so it's time for the teacher and me to do something about it.

Quite some time ago BTW I posted about my sons teacher saying he had seated a child who is a behavior problem next to Jack and Jack had been a wonderful influence on this child- that was Isac.
