I don't believe I once condoned his behavior or blamed anyone else for his actions. He made several wrong choices, and was met with concequences. He was sent home from school early, lost recess, and then lost his party. Never once did I disagree with those decisions the school made, and I also didn't tell you the concequences that were met at home for his actions.<BR/><BR/>No, hitting is never okay, and he was punished for it. But he is seven, after all, and this is how children learn, and I get that. They make mistakes, and hopefully they learn from them.<BR/><BR/>Perhaps next time you can be the real you when you share what you really think. Even my son has more confidence in his own opinions.Merriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18232094993595976704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7212966161473091106.post-41116381966856174092008-12-23T09:44:00.000-08:002008-12-23T09:44:00.000-08:00Is there any age that hitting is really Ok? Also, ...Is there any age that hitting is really Ok? Also, he doesn't sound like he respects authority figures. In this case, he was told to go straight back to class and he blatantly did what he wanted. In the end it was a huge safety issue. What if there was someone stalking the school and he's out there where no one knows. People comment about where the teacher was but the teacher is not a personal security guard. <BR/><BR/>You mock that you are in trouble, but it doesn't sound like you're taking the situation very seriously. What that little girl did was wrong but your son at 7 doesn't get to chose where he wants to go and what he wants to do when he makes choices like hitting someone.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7212966161473091106.post-49036836170085115322008-12-23T06:43:00.000-08:002008-12-23T06:43:00.000-08:00lol- I thought it was super cute that he left a no...lol- I thought it was super cute that he left a note saying he would be back.

In my 5 years of teaching I had some interesting behaviors but I can't say I ever had a child write a note that he'd gone to take his recess. And, actually, kind of within his rights, I might add - we get coffee breaks, shouldn't all kids be able to have their recesses?!Ranch Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00592676079292776393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7212966161473091106.post-66436118034348741692008-12-22T11:28:00.000-08:002008-12-22T11:28:00.000-08:00Nobody laughed louder than me -- I was shocked, bu...Nobody laughed louder than me -- I was shocked, but it's pretty funny.
