What is the naughtiest thing the naughtiest child has done?

[julybutterfly]

DS comes home every day with tales of what the 'naughty' children have done that day - I rarely find out what he's actually done because he's full of tales of these children.

Today a child threw a rock at a passing car , last week a child threw books and chairs at a teacher! I don't even live in a 'rough' area!

I was just wondering if this was normal behaviour from reception class children??

Yes my children are also fascinated with naughty behaviour and do tell me about it.

However in reception it tends to be "jonny ate his snot" or "freddy marked so and so's drawing".

Throwing stuff at teachers and rocks at cars seems way out of control and I would be a little concerned....

AAAhhh but it could be pure fantasy.

Definitely not fantasy as it was confirmed by more than one child!

Ok ...Well it wouldn't be normal in our school.

Thanks for that. Will be questioning them tomorrow!

Oh and I have to point out that the parent of the naughtiest child in teh school is a consultant in child psychiatry

DS (now Yr1, actually) likes to throw small stones at passing cars .
I only know about it happening a few times and Yes I severely tell him off and encourage the person who drove the car to tell him off, too; but he's pretty unrepentent. It's something I chronically have to watch out for, when the impulse might just overtake him. He is a keen thrower, though; nothing we've tried has weaned him off it.

He threw leaves the other day at a car (I suppose it's an improvement, sigh).

Rumours I've heard about reception children (past and present): chronic attacks on other kids that always draw blood, headbutting a teacher (heard that happened to a preschool teacher, too), constant disruption. for the kids who do these things.

dd3 tells when the naughty boy hits people, punches them, bits etc. he got my yr2 dd last week and she just let him cos he is little.

Knife threats in my placement class when I was in teacher training - and yes primary school.

My naughty girl tashed the pre shcool room last week

trashed (it's v early..)

Check that your DS does not just have a rich fantasy life, or that he is the instigator of naughty behaviour in others.
Some other child is telling their mummy what a naughty boy your ds is.

Naughtiest thing to have happened in my daughter's reception class is that one of the girls 'Twisted M's arm'(Presumably a chinese burn) resulting in the first ever visit to see the head by anyone in the class. DD was in awe.

The twister is the daughter of a Daily Mail journalist. Ha!

Naughtiest boy in sons reception class said fuck off ten times in one school day....

One day he screamed in my sons face and called him a 'stupid fucker'

I am trying to move house to a neighbouring county as I am so fed up!

I could make your hair turn white with stories from the school where I teach.

But I won't! Swearing is the least of our worries.

In my DS's class there was lots of bottom talk

One boy showed his bottom to the class and was sent to ther headmaster

My DD starts Reception in January. Yesterday I caught her face painting the cat. His whiskers were green and purple

Just bear in mind some of these children may be special needs kids and its heartbreaking for parents to hear their child labelled as the naughty child when they are simply finding it impossible to cope in the environment they have been put in...dont take it all at face value...take it from the mother of an autistic 5 year old who has struggled manfully through reception despite many many obstacles...

what happens in your school littlefish?

children don't have to come from a 'rough' area to be little shites.

When I was at school an 8 year old threw his chair through a window onto the playground two floors below. DS doesn't tell tales at home, he is more interested in who is the fastest runner or the best at football.

DS is 20 months and as we cycled home yesterday he suddenly said 'Time Out' and I asked if he had been sent to time out and he said 'no' then the name of the other boy at the CM's. So I asked why and he said 'sand' so I asked 'was he throwing sand' and DS said 'yes'. so I asked him why we don't throw sand and he said 'eyes'. Longest conversation we've ever had.

In DS1's class (Y4) there was a serial lunch stealer. Random lunch bags would be found discarded in the toilets, with all the goodies snaffled. Turned out to be the quietest, gentlest girl in the class.

I know of a 9yo girl who had a terrible stealing habit and reputation for it: she was neglected a lot as a tot/preschooler, and literally went hungry: eg., had nice food or toys "given" to her as Xmas gifts but then returned to the shop next day. Other incredible neglect in the background --so much that I marvel at how the child turned out as well-behaved as she is. You just never know what horrors some kids have been thru .

Furniture was thrown when DD1 was in Reception. As in "we had our stories in the library today because x was throwing chairs in the classroom" x was also excluded for spitting at a teacher in Yr 2.

The school deals with it pretty effectively, and the child in question is settling down and is much more stable chap now he is a couple of years older.
