My 5 year old DD is in kindergarten. Her kindergarten center offers after school care (like a daycare center). My DD attends, (My son attends the one at his elementary school don’t know why they just aren’t at 1 school it’s really a pain). Anyway my 5 year old daughter has yet to learn how to tie her shoes (she’s only 5 afterall), there are 2 ladies who watch the children (daycare is set in the gymnasium). Well my daughter has been telling me that they keep telling her she needs to learn how to tie her shoes. I have been trying to help her but i just don’t think she quite gets it right now.
Yesterday i go to pick her up from her school from the daycare (she’s only there 2 1/2 hrs tops) and i see her nose is bruised and was recovering from having a bloody nose. I am shocked at it and of course afraid it’s broken, i wasn’t contacted or anything. I ask my daughter what happened and she told me that she asked her teachers to tie her shoes and they both refused saying she should know by now. THEN she goes to tell me that they made her participate in the physical activity of the day (which was a basketball sort of game running involved!!) She says she tripped on her shoe laces and landed on her face. At this point i am FURIOUS and i go confront her teachers about my daughter. THEY TOLD ME THE SAME THING! They actually had the guts to tell me that my daughter MY FIVE YEAR OLD should know how to tie her shoes, and that tieing her shoes isn’t their responsibility. I am just shocked. I take my daughter home, call the nurse line to see if i should bring her in (Thankfully it’s not broken and they told me what to look out for) After that i called the school district. I got the “We’ll look into it” yeah right. They’ll be hearing from me every single day until they do something about it.
I have taken Air Jordan 2011 both my children out of afterschool care Jordan Pro Strong and am trying to find them a suitable daycare, for now my 14 yr old neighbor is watching them. Anyway. Just curious to make sure i’m not overreacting. (i don’t think Air Jordan 14s i am but some coworkers of mine today gave me that “look” where they feel i was)
Were the daycare teachers in the wrong? Are they to blame for my daughters bruised and bloodied nose? And what should be done to those two horrible teachers?? Debate away.
helloannie I, too, am a former teacher. I’ve had students (in 9th grade) who didn’t know how to read. True story. Did I say, “Oh well. it’s not my job to teach you how to read, that’s something you learn to do in Kindergarten.”
NO. I did my job. I taught those kids, to the very best of my ability, to read. Sure, those children should already know how to read. their parents should have ensured that, his former teachers should have ensured that. yet Air Jordan 7s everyone failed them. I refused to continue to fail those children. Children are not always going to know how to do stuff at the “developmentally age appropriate time”.
I don’t know about anyone else’s children but send my child in double knotted shoes would not work here. My children walk to school in shoes “A”, change into indoor shoes “B”, then they walk from school to the after school care centre in shoes “A”, where they change into indoor Air Jordan 6s shoes “C” kept at the centre, when I pick them up they change back into shoes “A”. If they decided to bring dress shoes to school and have gym day, there will be another change of shoes in there. If a child can’t tie their own shoes laces, double knots aren’t going to help much.
