hey everyone! Just wanted to mention a little episode on Sunday in the late preschool class. A child was very upset and screaming when parent was trying to leave when dropping off. I was standing there watching and wondering if I should intervene. The child then hit the teacher in the face and so I felt this is where I should draw the line. I asked the parent if they could take the child out as this was creating quite a scene for the other little ones. The Seasholtz's (teachers) were very gracious and were even willing to keep the child in the classroom as the parent felt quite sure the child would calm down after they (the parent) left the room. I had felt at that point that the child had "lost the privilege" of Sunday School. That was just my personal opinion. Also, we had a regularly attending family ask if they could bump their 5th grader up now instead of Sept. and we did ask that they would hold off until Sept. I know if we make exceptions for one then where do we draw the line? That's all for now, folks..

Well done, Alane! The child had, indeed, lost the privilege of staying in the class. I am of the opinion that a child aggressive enough to strike an adult would present a risk to the other kids - a greater risk than I would be wanting/willing to assume.
It does not suprise me the teachers were willing to allow the child to stay - that is to their credit. However, a child who exhibits such behavior needs to understand the boundries and rules of CM before they will understand the grace the teachers would show by allowing him to stay in the class.
Just my two cents.
