Isn't written feedback from teacher, nursery nurses supposed to be written positively?

[MermaidsAreAmazing]

I got an email from the coordinator of a playgroup I attend with my dc and it is written quite negatively, describing their behaviour, and I was surprised at this.
Aren't these sort of professionals supposed to sugar coat what they say and write in a positive way? Or is this not the usual way anymore?

Haven’t you heard of the phrase ‘dog in the manger’? It was very commonly used about children as I was growing up. It’s the child equivalent of realising you wished you’d ordered your friend’s meal at the restaurant and not the one you ordered yourself.

Buck up OP and take it on the chin. Sort his behaviour out - it’ll be doing him a favour.

But you said in a later post, that they did say what beautiful manners he had, so they are being positive, but obviously have to mention that they have concerns, to let you know why they'd like to have a chat about him when no-one else is around.

What is his language like Mermaids ? The way you describe what he does as being 'a way of trying to play with the children' suggests that he isn't able to chat with them ? At 3, that would be an issue. Maybe thy want to talk to you about their concerns around his development, but obviously want to do that face to face rather than going through everything in an e-mail ?
