On Fridays Ben has show and tell at school. It's early in the morning so sometimes he doesn't make it there in time. Today he asked me to get him there extra early so he could participate.
He looked for the perfect toy and finally decided to bring his bat plane. I dropped him off early and went to work.
When I got home I asked him if he had fun at show and tell. He explained that apparently they were only suppose to bring toys that started with m so the teacher would not let get his toy out of his backpack. He said, "I cried and cried because I was the only one who didn't get to show a toy." He then got in trouble for crying and had to sit in time out.
The teacher informed Ben's grandparents that a sheet went out on Monday explaining the letter of the week. Since Ben does not go on Monday's I never got this sheet because they did not put one in his cubby.
I don't think I've ever been more sad and mad at the same time. I don't understand how a teacher could disappoint a 4yr old like that.

This is a time when the teacher needs the lesson. You do not need to let it go. I would tell her where she went wrong.
ReplyDeleteHaving been a teacher, I would never crush a child's spirit like that. You did not get the letter and that is her mistake.
