So fa...I'm loving this series of posts, Lindy! So far, I agree with just about everything you have said -- especially THIS post. There were some..."conflicts" that occurred during Mm's recesses in the short six months she was in public school and her teacher only witnessed one of the "conflicts" -- the other problems were reported by other eight year-olds. Can you really trust an 8 year-old to tell the correct events in a conflict? I don't think so. It was incredibly frustrating to discover that Mm was getting in trouble via unreliable witnesses -- only one incident being witnessed by an adult. It was rather shocking to us, really. I do respect public school teachers and now I know first-hand that they can't witness every little thing that children tattle about...No use getting worked up unless the principal calls you. :) Anyway, I agree with you -- they learn so much more about "socializing" from their peers than they possibly can from their teachers...unfortunately.Lynettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12293185166265516183noreply@blogger.com
