School Issues
I am 13 years old, and my five year old brother has just started kindgergarten. I am afraid there is something terribly wrong. In just a week and a half, he's gotten a dozen reports from his teacher saying he was being bad. my brother is not a bad kid, and the allegations are (in my opinion) completely bogus. Just yesterday, my family and I recieved a call that my brother had been fighting on the playgroung. So we went over, and found out that it was just a few hits--nothing serious, but his teacher got together with the assistant principal, and they want to suspend him for "fighting" Is this teacher stepping over the line? I had bad experiences with teachers when I was at this school, and I'm afraid that because we have the same last name (and darker skin tone), he is being discriminated against.

Want to answer more questions in the Relationships category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Work/School Relationships?
I think your teacher is being a little OVER protective. She needs to stop being so cautious.. your brother sounds like a good kid. i dont think its because of ur skin color. I just think shes just worried and every little thing she sees thats "bad" she wants to keep from happening again...
i have your back, those are to little things to try to SUSPEND him
Hope it helps!

My brother had gotten suspensed for the same reasons and im white, so I dont think its a racial matter. They seem to take things seriously in younger grades because their afraid if they dont punish them when their younger, it`ll be worth when their older. For example, if a kid punches another one when hes in kindgergarten, if they play it off like its nothing, the kid would see that he got away with it, and would be more liable to do worse damange when hes in high school, or college. They want to treat it wh en its younger, because when kids at 5 they do most of their learnin at that stage and its detrimental to teach them good habbits to prevent dangerous ones in the future.

I think that if you had a bad experience with the SAME teacher then I think that the teacher is a lil harsh! But if you had a problem with ANOTHER teacher then I think that your brother did something bad, then he got punished! But If I were you I wouldn't worry! Most teachers love to punish kids Its just their way of showing their tough! So I think you should just have a little talk with your brother, until you suspect anything, then just explain to him violence is not the answer!

Most teachers teaching at that young of an age level will do that often. It is all apart of some program to put out bullying before it stops or whatever, but I remember reading a report on it. Yeah they are going too far. How in the heck can you suspend a kindergartener? It really isn't all that realistic. And since you say he is good at home and such but not at school that just kinda raises my eyebrows.
Shortly put, yeah they are kinda stepping over the line.
Hope my opinion helped.

teachers can be difficult. since your brother isn't a bad kid at home er anything, it is difficult to see how he can get into trouble at school. sometimes its juss phases, because that's how kids are, especially boys. maybe the teacher is juss over exaggerating about it. i hope she doesn't have a problem with you er the darker skin tone, because that's juss wrong. talk to him about it, and it keeps happening as he grows up, with other classmates, teachers etc. then it really is him and you guys should talk about it.
good luck!♥
