They have an odd way of fighting bullying by encouraging discrimination within the walls of the school itself.
My experience has taught me they have a 'my way of the highway" approach and they don't seem to deal well with energetic kids. By isolating them, while all the others sing, dance, eat cake and are allowed to have surprises, it creates insecurities and the feeling of inferiority for the child, while the others are taught that it's ok to let someone be treated this way.
After sending him home on a DAILY BASIS between 9 - 12am, and meeting with specialists and therapists, to conclude it's only excess of energy. Impulsions and frustrations have worsened with their techniques but they still wanted to keep doing it their way.
I've come to a conclusion that they simply don't have control or authority over their students and don't know how to deal with it. I'm also skipping a lot of details as I'm skeptic about the honesty of some teachers. The speeches made to the parents VS the way they are with the kid when the parent isn't around, I've felt many times that he was targeted. Also when some can't look you in the eye when talking about your child sends a message.
I've noticed when I started asking for a reason to pick him up and not just "we were asked that u come pick him up". When they had told me that he hit someone's butt, and I asked if it was playful, the answer was "still its an unacceptable behaviour", made me realize well this school is a little dramatic.
My 5yo is now back to his old daycare, after having him home full time for over 2 months, and we have absolutely no problems with his attitude or level of energy. I had to spend a lot of time helping him regain his self esteem and the feeling that he "belongs" with kids his age.
To this day when I mention some things he bursts into tears, and i feel like he wants to go back to school just to prove that he is not a failure
It breaks my heart.and frustrates me
I know you have tried to help.but you also refused to listen when the mother spoke and gave you advice.
This whole experience as a single mom who had to interrupt her work daily and run left and right, has made me very exhausted to this day.
A negative review is something i rarely leave.
I hope this helps improve things, and I apologize if you don't agree with this
