I need to know if I am being precious or whether my son's teacher is being unreasonable. DS is 4.3yrs and was sent home from school last week with all his clothes on inside out.
He had been like that for over 4 hours as the PE lesson was in the morning.
All his uniform was the right way round, ie v neck of his jumper at the front, trousers button at the front but pockets flapping, very obviously inside out.
We were not allowed back inside the school at home time to change, so had to walk home like that with everyone staring.
He was very upset and humiliated.
I have spoken to the teacher to say that perhaps it would have been kind to just mention to my son that he had got his clothes on inside out and offer him the opportunity to correct it, perhaps at lunchtime. I explained that I do not expect the teachers to help him dress but that it wouldn't hurt to say something to him.
He response was that they do not have time and that he was just taking far too long and that we should practice at home! He is fine dressing at home, I just ned to help with buttons on his shirt.
Any ideas?
