Schools rewarding badly behaved children

[blondiemommy]

I am sick of DS's school rewarding the children who are frequently naughty, unruly in class and cause misery to the other children. Ds has been having bother with such a child at school, I have had to visit his teacher twice this term to explain how upset he has been. He was withdrawn from playtime for a week for hitting and punching my DS. First week back in the playgound and he is rewarded star of the week. It stinks! What about the children who are well behaved and try on a daily basis? I understand the school are trying to encourage good behaviour but I think it is demoralising for the others.

Actually, it is quite apt.

Beamur that might be how social and behavioural difficulties appear to you, from the outside and from a position of very little knowledge.

Believe me, though, it is not apt at all.

stop being so precious, ladies.It's a tongue in cheek term coined by Dr Breen in 'Toddler Taming'

I dont care if you think its tongue in cheek.

Its fucking offensive.

I took it to be tongue in cheek.
But if people are offended - then it's an offensive term to them - I'd apologise, but it wasn't my post.

onceortwice I haven't called anybody on here's child anything.If posters are identifying their child with my post......

I find it offensive too. It's not just the definition that's meaningful here, it's the associations the term has with 'evil' or someone being wholly, unchangeably bad.

These are children we are talking about ffs.

You are offensive.

You know who you are..............

Actually, I don't care: Socharlotte, You are horrible, offensive, nasty and pretty downright rude.

Fine, get my message deleted.

We both know it's true.
