Is my sons kindy teacher a bully?

I dont know the whole situation, but as an early childhood professional, your sons' teacher should herself use appropriate ánd positive language at all times. No matter how emotional she herself might be.

Also in the interest of social and emotional development in these young children she should not be threatening them. Especially not with rules like 'not playing with each other' . At this age they learn soo much from playing together and are at a stage where they r just learning how rules can be applied to play and also they can implement the things they see the adults around them do. To make sense of their world and their interactions.

Yelling as a kindergarten teacher is the biggest no-no ever, as well as telling children not to play together. It is a childs right to play and our job to guide them positively into what interactions are acceptable..and to model this behaviour ourselves.

It's not a good thing ... and there is probably a reason for it, but i would definetly take it up with the teacher herself or her superior.

Instead of facilitating social and emotional development she is hindering it.

I hope it works out

You should talk to the pricncipal about the way she acts in class, and that she isn't allowing the boys to play together...no second chance? and..she really can't do that with them in the same class. If this were my child..I would ask her why she yells so much!!!! and tell her not to yell at my kid!!!! there are many other "positive" ways to get kids to behave properly. The kids don't respcet or act wel because of the way she acts(: She doesn't have a handle on the class, doesn't know how to discipline kids like a teacher should. She isn't a good teacher and should NOT be teaching kindergarden. She should find a new job..or teach older kids.

And why is everyone scared???? she is a teacher of 5 and 6 year old children..and has no right to be yelling all the time. Report her to the principal..if you can get other parents to do the same...they will know what is going on in her classroom and make it stop! If everyone lets it go..she will be keep doing it.

IMO..it isn't fair to your children to not speak up for them!!!! Be there voice so it stops! This women has anxiety and can't deal with her class. that is her problem and she should get herself help. she has good insurance(:

YOU have more power than you think in the school. If you and the other parents say...our kids are allowed to play together. we have talked them and they understand they can't play fight in school. My kids kindergarden teacher was fantastic!!! she had rules...rule #1 keep your hands and feet to yourself. IF they didn't..they didn't get a hole punch at the end of the day(it was a reward system that worked well and most of the kids did there best to get 2 hole punches each day...the went to her she punched the card..she thaked them for behaving today...and gave them a hug or high five. "positive reinforcement"

perchance the youngsters in her classification are being lazy. perchance it truly is her way of being hard. instructors quite don't have a lot administration over their lecture rooms any extra. they could in basic terms use their words. lets face all of it of us had instructors we did not like, yet most of the hardest instructors extra out the perfect in us. perchance your son isn't telling you each and every thing that is going on in college. Is he behaving? perchance you should ask to be able to drop in on the classification and watch without your son or the instructor understanding that you will be coming. keep in thoughts, there are always 2 sides to a tale, so verify it out.
