parents in school gardens

[howstrange]

i have a 5 yr old ds.
his class is a very mixed class with children from many countries, this means parents from different cultures, too.
i was thinking last year was a tough period when the parents got used to each other.
you cant believe how much could happen just bfore 10 mins the class starts in the morning.
i thought we all got to know each other after a year. but it seems the problem still continues there. and i think some of them need some kind of help.
school is doing their best and they are very good.
is there anybody else experiencing the same difficulty?

What difficulty do you mean?

I have no idea what you are talking about.
what is the problem. that they are from different cultures from you?

i mean the parents argue with each other because of their children.

If the kids don't get on then that would happen regardless of cultures. Or do you mean that "the English" would be more restrained about it or just politely ignore each other?

i will give an example for it, this is just one example;
in some cultures ppl dont queue up, they just go to the front.
but it is very unusual for others,and they dont like it.

I see what you mean. A bit embarrassing to bring it up so I don't know how you'd go about it.

why is it embarrassing?

Well, how do you tell someone you'll see every day for the next few years that there's a queuing system and they should go to the back of the queue?

The staff should deal with it. At ds's school the bell goes and the classes line up. Anyone who arrives late is not allowed to queue up and they are quite strict about this. Some of the parents grumble about this.

Perhaps have a word with the head about having staff enforce the rules.

they tried to tell her many times in different ways but it never worked

anyway this was just an example as i said before and we have accepted her as she is.

that is strange. Are you saying that one of the pupils goes to the front of the class queue?

We have this at home time. We arrive and stand in line but when the class door opens the late arrivals from behind surge forward - fine. They then proceed to stand in the door way so no child can get out as they watch for their child. You could get trampled underfoot and so could your child. This year the teacher is a little more experienced than the lovely reception teacher and asks them to step aside. It's a pallava every evening
