Bad behaviour etiquette

[MissClimpsonsTypingBureau]

My DS (yr 1) was disciplined by his teacher for what she described as 'taunting' other children in the class. Obviously I'm mortified and have disciplined him myself as well. But should I apologise directly to the other children's parents? DS apologised to them at school.

No, he behaved badly at school and school have dealt with it. Would you expect his teacher to punish him for being naughty at home?

No I would just leave it. Your DS has apologised himself so hopefully that should be the end of it and he's learned not to behave like that again.

I wouldn't discipline at home personally. And I wouldn't get involved with parents

No. Don't. Leave that with the school.

No, definitely don't. You could end up making more of this than it needs to be. As a primary teacher and a parent I can tell you you've done the right thing following up at home and now just move on- it's very common for children to need to be told off for not being nice occasionally- they're learning socially as well as academically. The other parents will know this and will not think badly of you or DC.
