I know whereof I speak! Find another preschool. The Director's behavior is inexcuseable and shows a complete lack of understanding of normal toddler development. Her unprofessionable behavior towards you and the fact that she has put her staff in an untenable position tells me that there are probably other unacceptable things going on.<br /> If,in fact, gabe was having problems you should have been unformed long before this so that you and the teachinmg staff could work together. You should not have been blindsided. In addition, the National Association for the Education of Young Children suggestd that toddlers should not be required to participate in large group activities, that they should be permitted to leave as they wish. As the adminstrator of the program and the person responsible for the curriculum, she should know this. <br /> You are probably want Gabe closer when you move. For his sake, make the change now.jwghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03848946240656789799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10449167.post-55108900740384002232009-11-06T08:31:12.782-05:002009-11-06T08:31:12.782-05:00OMG OMFG!!!!!! WTF Is right!
What the hell is this...OMG OMFG!!!!!! WTF Is right!<br />What the hell is this ladys problem?<br />Does she expect 2 year olds to be little fucking drones or what?<br />This is freaking crazy and nuts and yeah. She has some type of problem!<br /><br />I can assure you as I do each an every time that you post about one of the wonderful things your children do, that he is NORMAL he is a perfectly happy normal 2 year old little boy!<br /><br />I agree that if his teachers are doing well with him and he is happy and thriving to ignore the director and just keep him there as to not disrupt him. At the same time, switching say after Christmas to a new school would be good, you will be moved and settled and its a natural tansition time. I would want away from this lady.<br /><br />Seriously I agree with the others that she is confused and is thinking of another child. But even still any 2 year old all of the things she said, are normal! perhaps she is talking about someone who is 5! LMAO<br /><br />I would start visitng the classroom some. Help out or whatever. Hang out and watch through the window. Something<br />So that I would have the peace of mind of seeing for myself how he acts and how all the other kids act too!<br /><br />OMG<br />it just hit me! you were supposed to meet with her to discuss OTHER schools? she is just being and idiot and is mad because you are leaving and taking it out on you like some type of freaking teenager! OMG just ignore her!<br /><br />I have to say that I have ran into this crap alot in the 13 years I have had kids in school.<br /><br />BIG HUGS<br />Lots of stress free vibes!Stacynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10449167.post-8022612309557673202009-11-06T08:22:24.037-05:002009-11-06T08:22:24.037-05:00I was on the Board of Directors at a Church Based ...I was on the Board of Directors at a Church Based School. I worked closely with the director. If she had EVER acted int hat manner then she would have been terminated!<br />I think you need to talk with your husband and seriously consider taking Gabe to another school. I wouldn't even want to chance tainting his view of going to school at this early age. If he asks about switching schools, you can explain that you are moving and he is going to a new school closer to his home.Maribethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17435726542598515305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10449167.post-8146248360544086442009-11-05T21:52:06.446-05:002009-11-05T21:52:06.446-05:00I would really wonder at the discrepancy btwn the ...I would really wonder at the discrepancy btwn the teachers and the director. How much time does the director spend with the kids? Does she observe each group every day? <br /><br />I think getting the teachers and the director in the same room would be a good start to getting everyone on the same page.<br /><br />And he's TWO....what does she expect anyway?Rev Dr Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11607665272056430039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10449167.post-42569172549966746962009-11-05T20:42:35.015-05:002009-11-05T20:42:35.015-05:00Eeek this whole thing makes my head hurt a little ...Eeek this whole thing makes my head hurt a little bit. Sounds terrible and JUST the thing you need right now. I think (when you have some spare time that is) that the teachers and director and you need to all get in the same room and see what they say in front of her. Sounds crazy and she sounds like a nasty piece of work. Poor you!

So, then you could witness these behaviors (or most likely, not witness anything questionable).<br />And thirdly, I would definitely want a written report, daily, for Gabe's sake. If these behaviors are what she says they are then you should expect them to be documented and you should be privvy to that documentation. If you get the daily report and there is no record of any of these "behaviors", that also warrants a conversation with the 2 teachers and the director. <br /><br />I would also question the intentions of the director, her level of professionalism, and her interactions with children. <br />I'd also ask for her to document these behaviors when she sees them. Then you could see how often she is actually in the classroom. <br /><br />Ok...just my 2 cents.Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01851059236142490659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10449167.post-76307833722688404322009-11-05T20:08:05.699-05:002009-11-05T20:08:05.699-05:00?!?!?!?
???????
?!?!?!???!?!?!?!!!!!!!!!
WTF?!?...?!?!?!?<br /><br />???????<br /><br />?!?!?!???!?!?!?!!!!!!!!!<br /><br />WTF?!?!<br /><br />As I was reading this I thought the same thing as ttulizzy, that the director was going to come back to you and tell you that she was SO sorry but she had mixed Gabe up with a different Gabe in a different class, and THAT Gabe totally has two heads and a tail and they think they saw fangs, and this has absolutely NOTHING to do with YOUR Gabe and OMG can we refund your tuition for the rest of the year because of the HORROR I've caused!?<br /><br />I totally don't understand this at all. I know Gabe in REAL LIFE and as I was sitting here I read Bill the list of "complaints" from the "Director" and he and I both kept saying, "That doesn't sound AT ALL like Gabe." Seriously, he's one of the sweetest, FOCUSED kids I have ever met. I wouldn't use any of her words to describe Gabe. Like, at all. Has she ever MET him?! <br /><br />I am floored. The hairs went up on the back of my neck. And the fact that the other teachers simply don't agree? I think that if the director is going to insist that you go down this road, that you need to get the teachers, the director AND YOU all in the same room at the same time to make sure you're on the same page. I mean, what are you supposed to think when his TEACHERS who work with him EVERY DAY are not seeing any issues? But she is? When does she work with him? I am very angry. On your behalf. And Gabe's.<br /><br />And, um, IT'S A TODDLER PROGRAM not a NASA training facility. He is two. Sometimes he doesn't want to sit in a circle. OMG, quick get the meds.Chatty Crickethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13741907859944987779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10449167.post-27280299930279756862009-11-05T15:03:53.773-05:002009-11-05T15:03:53.773-05:00What a jerk!

So he's "typical and normal" but she wanted you to have something to work on? THat just makes no freakin' sense, especially since all this criticism is completely unwarranted. I'm angry and upset for you! This situation is ridiculous. I hope things get resolved.z.http://zeebahzazieandthezoo.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10449167.post-26604194451132576652009-11-05T13:03:31.622-05:002009-11-05T13:03:31.622-05:00Okay, halfway through I thought the drama was that...Okay, halfway through I thought the drama was that the director was talking to you about the wrong child. Then I was wrong. <br /><br />That whole conversation just sounds fishy, especially since the teachers (who I would assume spend more time with and working with Gabe than the director) were confused after you talked with them. <br /><br />Not having any kids or anything, I can't give any advice, but I can say good luck!ttulizzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02416139721030072814noreply@blogger.com
