I'm pretty sure my TWO YEAR OLD is getting bullied at the YMCA preschool and I'm not sure what to do about it since the teachers pretty much ignore the kids when they're on the playground. I went early one day and witnessed some 3 and 4 year olds telling my kid and a couple of other kids that they were "babies" and blocking their entry to the playground. Grr. <br /><br />Al Gore is awesome and your neighbors are stupidheads. There, I said it.<br /><br />I will not go bathing suit shopping, period.

I've given up.<br /><br />4. Send the email. And it wouldn't hurt to include the fact that Laura is PRAYING that the teasing end. You could close it with something lighthearted, like "I hope your intervention will provide the answer to her prayers, Ms. S, because if you don't make Michael stop it, he's gonna need to pray that God protect him from my wrath!" <br /><br />Rawr!

I'm guessing her teacher doesn't want to hear that you had to speak to the principal about a teasing problem that you had already addressed with the classroom teacher. (That's immaterial, of course, since the teacher probably will address the issue because it's the right thing to do.)<br /><br />Can you tell at which level of moral development I work? at?Hootiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04400434356203181107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6328138894440374230.post-47801793365591542412009-05-07T07:19:00.000-04:002009-05-07T07:19:00.000-04:00Speaking from the teacher's standpoint- I would de...Speaking from the teacher's standpoint- I would definitely send the email. Kids are really sneaky and Ms S might not ever see the teasing going on (although the fact that L brought it up should have been enough to end it). Not to excuse the behavior, but kids are great at bullying when the teacher has her back turned...I speak from experience! They wait until lunch or recess, or when they're with their other teachers to pick on each other and then act like perfect angels in front of me.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12658627678879503495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6328138894440374230.post-57457219633102596442009-05-07T07:16:00.000-04:002009-05-07T07:16:00.000-04:00Seconding what Amy said - Ms S needs to be all ove...Seconding what Amy said - Ms S needs to be all over this one!

Then again, maybe you can corner the little guy and pull a Robert DeNiro in "Meet the Parents": "I'll be WATCHING YOU." ;)<br /><br />As for your swimsuit, the blue bottoms sound lovely!
