Your daughter isn’t being singled out because she’s not liked. She’s also not being singled out. They’re genuinely teaching her the way of the world. She may be close to perfect and you may let her get by with a lot(she is your child after all) but your ways are not the ways of the school. She is being a distraction and you said that of your own accord. Think of how you would feel if your child was really struggling at school and was then distracted multiple times throughout the year and it ultimately affected their learning.
It super sucks for people to correct your children. It super sucks for them and you to be upset by it. But it’s a supersuckish thing that needs to happen for her to learn what school is about. You’re enabling a bit too much, mom. Also, she’s allowed to feel jealous. She isn’t allowed to create a negative environment because of it. The teacher has to take care of ALL the kids, not just yours. It should also be stated that your daughter does not and should not have any idea about what the other girl is ever in trouble for. Its between the teacher and the student. You’re basing all of your feelings on the limited perception given to you by your daughter. Ask the adult and go from there.

My daughter had a teacher that actually was mean AF to her. She went as far as taking her hair bows and also not giving her bandaids, writing rude notes to me, being snobby and rude to my daughter, etc. I got her switched classes and she never had another issue.
My son had a teacher like that. He was singled out for just being. He would bring in a book ( he at this time was in classes for reading difficulties) and was wanting to show his newfound love of reading… this teacher would punish him and make an example of him in class. She was extremely nasty and cold towards him. I am a single parent and we had just moved to a new state, new school district. He was trying to fit in, make new friends while find his niche in school. He was in like 3rd or 4th grade at the time… this was 2008. This teacher went out of her way to punish him for the littlest things and when I reached out to try and work out how to make things more productive for her and for my son… I got zero response. I even took an afternoon off from work to meet with his teacher and the principal to show the number of emails that she NEVER responded to along with the calls that I had left and she never called back. I understand being a teacher (half my family are teachers) but there are some teachers that are only in it for a paycheck and do not have the temperament to teach. And I did talk to my son about classroom rules and things before contacting the teacher. If your child tells you that they feel like their teacher doesn’t like them, listen… get them to verbalize more. Because some teachers do pick on certain students for BS reasons. My son is 23 now and he received a FB message from his middle school teacher, apologizing for her behavior and being apart of the group of teachers and students that bullied him. This teacher is retired so he has no legal recourse…

Sounds like your kid can do no wrong in your eyes.
Teaching your child to follow rules isn’t a bad thing, I promise. I don’t think the teacher is singling her out, maybe she’s legitimately getting herself into trouble by doing whatever she wants to do.
I brought a toy to school once when I was her age and got it taken away til the end of the year too. It’s nothing new.

No offense but if your child is disruptive and can’t follow rules that’s on her. But the teacher isn’t responsible for giving her special treatment just because she’s social. She’s there to learn. As far as the email for doing the wrong page, would you rather the teacher doesn’t tell you and she gets a failing grade? The teacher is doing her job. You’re overreacting and this is why your daughter feels she’s being picked on by the teacher. Maybe try explaining to your daughter she can’t be the center of attention and distract the class.

Request a meeting with her. And have the principal attend as well. Let her/they know that her actions towards your child will not be tolerated. I had an issue with my child’s kindergarten teacher singling her out. My child is very shy and has a hard time with social situations and too much noise. She did not get the support and kindness from that teacher and so I had her moved to a different class. No way was my child going to be bullied by a teacher. Stand up for your children

Your kiddo is a disruption. You should be handling this at home. Maybe teach your child to respect the teacher and students time for learning. The classroom isn’t her place to show off. With some kids you can’t give any wiggle room. Maybe the teachers real strict bc she knows youre not reinforcing rules and think your kid is always the victim.
The teacher corresponding with the entire class that the girls are having social emotional issues is a big deal and the parents should know so they can talk with their child.

At my daughter’s school and when my boys were in elementary school you were not allowed to bring anything to school unless it was show and tell day. If the student repeatedly kept bringing stuff the teacher would take it away and they wouldn’t get it back until the end of the school year.
I’ll be 38 in June and I remember in high school getting stuff taken away cell phone CD player stuff like that because we weren’t supposed to have it. Things like this can be a distraction and can cause disruption in the class.
As far as you feeling like the teacher isn’t as nice to your child I’ve been in that same position. My 18-year-old when he was in kindergarten he had a teacher that I will not lie we butted heads. It felt like everyday she was calling me and telling me my son did something. He did wonderful in first grade and second grade. Third grade started again with a completely different teacher. One time I got called because he found a plastic bag and was shredding it at his desk and it was disrupting the class. We ended up having a discussion with his teacher his other teacher that partnered with his main teacher and school administration. At the end of the day we ended up moving his class but you have to be prepared to have the conversation with them that it’s not working. Honestly I had to show proof that I felt like my child was being singled out and I was able to do that with the log of phone calls emails and notes sent home everything.
You sound like the problem here. It is a pretty standard rule that toys and belongings from home can’t be brought to school no matter how excited your daughter is, she is breaking the rules. You say there’s no communication, but are upset that the teacher communicated get homework was missing. As a teacher I’m incredibly grateful not to be your child’s teacher. There is clearly no winning with you. It will be a very long school career.

There are strict teachers in life, BUT if your child has gone through school for several years without any problems with any other teacher, then yes, the teacher may be the issue. Happened with my son. Over 12 years of school we had issues with only 2 teachers that I thought were unnecessarily strict and borderlined on being waaaay too harsh on my kid. And you know what? I was right! One left teaching shortly after my son had her and the other was fired. And I was glad to see both of them leave teaching for good too. I couldn’t stand either one of their teaching/disciplining methods and the audacity they had with very minor issues when it came to my son. If a child does really great in a subject or class until they get to that one teacher’s class, and then ONLY has issues in THAT teacher’s class, I would say about 2/3’s of the time, it is the teacher that IS the problem. Not every teacher is going to mesh well with your kid and vice versa.
I don’t think anything is overly egregious.
I think sending a email to communicate HW not being completed is normal and expected (many would complain if they weren’t informed…)
What is the school’s policy regarding bring stuff in? Have you talked to the teacher? Maybe she can bring it in, but she has to keep it in her locker. Come up with a plan and set expectations with your daughter.
If it’s causing a distraction, maybe it’s not a good idea for her to bring it in. The teacher does need to manage the classroom and if your daughter is being disruptive, how is the teacher handling it. I don’t agree that the drawing was thrown out. Maybe ask the teacher about it and if it happens again to have your daughter put it away and not throw it out next time.
I feel having an open conversation with the teacher is very helpful. Be curious. You have a bias towards your child (not saying there’s anything wrong with that. I do too 
), so things may not be as it’s made out to be.
Maybe there’s some truth to things your daughter is saying, just take the time to talk to the teacher and see another perspective.
Jealousy is normal…not really sure what part of the post about jealousy towards the new girl and drama ensued.
Yes, your daughter is allowed to feel jealous. It’s to be expected. However what exactly happened? What did the teacher say about it. Your post was completely vague and tried to vilify the teacher without including any details. If your daughter did something or said something wrong and got into trouble about it, then that was the consequences. Just because it’s normal or expected doesn’t mean she can say or do whatever she wants and get a free pass. But again, your post lacked any detail regarding what your daughter did and how the teacher handled it, so not sure why you even included it.

She should not be taking to school beside her school supplies, the teacher will definitely take them away “ is a unspoken rule” they can distract the class .
About the jealous thing, is probably because she is your only child so she is used to be the center of your attraction, but sadly she will not get the same treatment at school .
Yea , I think that you might be overacting, you expect the teacher to give your daughter the same treatment she gets at your house , but in the school she is nothing special, just another regular student

Some of y’all are acting like she brought toys to school. She brought a NOTEBOOK. And the teacher took it away for the rest of the school year. That seems extreme for a 9 year old. It seems unnecessary in general. Even if she’d somehow truly been being disruptive with it, the teacher could have just taken it away for the day, and then at the end of the day, given it back along with a note and instructions to take it home and not bring it back.
I don’t think this is necessarily worth talking with the principal about. But I’d keep an eye on the situation, and I’d get in communication with that teacher and try to establish a better relationship. I’d also probably ask that any personal items she’s holding on to be sent home. If I paid for them, she wouldn’t get to keep them.

Honestly I could be interpreting this wrong but the way this is coming off from an outsider perspective is that the teacher has rules. Schools do have policies. A lot of schools do not allow you to bring anything from home to school unless it’s show and tell day, spirit week, or something “student of the week/shining star” type of thing. The teacher throwing a note or drawing out because it was likely disrupting the class makes some sense. Would I throw it out if I were a teacher? Probably not. However there are teachers that do when it becomes an issue. As far as the new girl goes, I don’t think it is the teachers job to make sure your child isn’t jealous - or to fix the jealousy your child is feeling - that her friends became close with the new girl. As far as the teacher taking a liking to the new student, that’s okay if the teacher likes the new student. What kinds of things is the teacher taking the new students side too? Is your child not being very nice to the new student and the teacher is finding out? Being a new student is hard enough. Let alone if there’s another child not being so nice. As far as the monthly class newsletter goes, I don’t know why the gender part mattered. However it’s good they have been working on emotions. The homework email I don’t think is a big deal. I would just let that email blow off your back but make sure your child did the correct page to ensure extra practice. Overall it sounds like the teacher is doing her job.
You could send a friendly email or arrange a parent-teacher phone conference to chat about your daughter. Your daughter might truly be struggling behavior wise or something’s going on that is causing issues at school but at home your child tells you something different or only half of the truth. I know it’s the end of the school year but it’s worth a shot to just talk to her teacher about everything and how you’re concerned

I hate this. My mom was in a situation like this and I was a kid. The teacher singled me out and yelled at me and put me alone at lunch and threw away my tray. It made it worse. I hope things are better now and you can go to the principal but honestly that was one of my most horrible times in school dealing with someone exactly like this and I still remember. I was in 2nd grade.

Regardless of the teacher likes her or not, she doesn’t “feel” safe & secure in that class. I am typically not one to go with the touchy feeling side. However, I did have to put my foot down and have my kids teacher changed. I mean I was at the sxhool weekly, and called a lot daily over the stupidest stuff. He wouldn’t throw his trash away. Ok, go grab it and trash it He leaned back in his chair. Ok take his chair and make him stand for a bit. I mean of course he will challenge your authority, because you don’t set the boundaries. He is with YOU! Later on, it was told to me that because he was a giant, and taller than all the teachers except one, they were scared of him, even though he never did anything to make them
Believe he was violent in any way. As a matter of fact, in a group of people he likes to keep the peace. He doesn’t like confrontation. After the class swap, other students told me son the teacher was much nicer now that he was gone. 
Maybe sit down and talk with your child and check her before leaving the house and maybe the teacher wouldn’t be so harsh. It’s ridiculous a teacher has to tell one child multiple times and the parents blame the teacher. No your child’s the problem you refuse to see.

You said yourself that your daughter likes to take things from home to show them off at school. It’s hard to tolerate a jealous show off. Remind your daughter that showing off or acting jealous are not good traits to have. She will grow up being jealous in the work place and in her relationships with others and it will cause a whole lot more problems for her than it would to start teaching her now that not everything is about her and what she wants.

She probably isn’t liked if she’s constantly disrupting class and causing drama because of jealousy. Teachers are people too and can only take so much. I would stop allowing her to take thing to school that aren’t required. My guess is that she took it for the remainder of the school year because she’s asked repeatedly to for her to stop bringing things. You thinking the rules don’t apply to her and justifying her actions is not doing your daughter any favors

The teacher needs to learn how to communicate with you about specific issues she has with your daughter. She shouldn’t be making your daughter feel uncomfortable. When a teacher points out a student or excludes them it’s wrong. Their are multiple ways this teacher can handle this situation. If the teacher needs advise from her administration then she should seek it. If she doesn’t know how to handle specific situations then she needs to get updated training. It’s the teacher job to make it her priority to build professional relationships with her students and the families. She needs to discuss these issues in parent teacher conference, email, in person meeting and etc. definitely I would get the principal involved because this is very unprofessional for an elementary school teacher.

She can make her put it up, and even send her to the office for things but she isn’t allowed to throw someone else’s items away drawing or not.

The first thing that needs addressed is your child bringing things to class if she’s not supposed to. If she got one thing taken away then it would be harsh but you admit in your post that she “tends” to bring things… You should have more issue that your child is continuously irritating the teacher. I get it. I had the same issue kind of but the teacher messaged me my daughter had two things taken away and I grounded her for disrespecting her teacher and now I check her back pack. First step you need to support the teacher and teach your child to respect school time and the teacher then if there are issues address it but you’re acting like she shouldn’t have an issue with your daughter… I’m not perfect. My child is not perfect. But I 100 % will support my teachers and if my child is 100% and has issues then I would deal with that. If I know she’s not innocent I back the teacher up.

Teachers teach and when they have a misbehaving child they can not teach. I think the teachers 100% in the right and you and your only angel child are in the wrong. If you want this spoiled child to get more attention and do basically whatever she wants…… home school her or pay for a private teacher. The teacher has to give all her students attention not just your child.

ok , so I read the post … for all of you that’s saying that the mom should be holding her child accountable … my question is … how? … how can this mom hold her child accountable when this mom even said in the post that the teacher isn’t very good at communicating …
the teacher has NO right to throw any of this child’s stuff away or keep it until the end of the year simply because this teacher is not acting like an adult and handling things the right way …
What the teacher should have done is … sent the child’s stuff home with the child and communicated with the parents about how important it is for your child to keep personal things at home because they disrupt the class … if after that the child continues to bring stuff to school only then should the teacher take the next step … and that should be having a parent teacher conference and talking in person about the child
But like I said , how can the mother hold her child accountable when the teacher IS NOT communicating with the parent ? … if the teacher has an issue with a student , parent should be contacted … not teacher taking matters into her own hands … COMMUNICATION is key

Your child is one of presumably 20-25. It cannot be her show, her day, her time only because she is used to it at home. She has to be able to focus, stay on task and follow the class routine. If every student brought items from home to play with, chat about and disrupt class with, then no learning would get done. As a parent, I wouldn’t let her bring items to school that aren’t necessary for learning, and encourage her to stay in her seat and tone down the chit chat. At that age, some chit chat and noise is expected, so if you’re daughter is being singled out, it must be a more disruptive issue.

Your daughter shouldn’t be bringing things from home to school unless the teacher asks her too. Your daughter is being disruptive during class and disrespectful to her teacher. She is not the only child in the classroom. About the homework… she clearly didn’t do her homework if the wrong page was done. Educators are taking a beating from parents and it’s terrible. There are some truly awful teachers but this teacher sounds like she’s trying to manage her classroom and your child repeatedly disobeys classroom rules. It sounds like you need to have a chat with your child on respect and then a conference with your daughter and her teacher so that your daughters teacher can clearly lay out the rules and your child can apologize for her behavior and hopefully they can both move forward and have a smoother end to the school year.

Tbh, I feel like you may want to have a talk about your daughter about not bringing things to class and double checking that she’s doing her homework correctly. It really sounds like your child is behaving in a way that is causing the teacher to have to react in the ways she’s reacting.

I think kiddo has these as distractions…. Can you try to get her not to take anything?
Have you considered adhd? The way you write I thought I was in adhd group.
You should know adhd/asd kids are singled out more than others. It’s disappointing and soul destroying, I know.
However, dx will help with accommodations and medications can really help kids be successful. …
I’m sorry she’s suffering like this and teachers an ass.
Ps, emailing over homework is funny. Homework is not proven effective for children in primary! These twits are working for us. Teaching our children. Employed by us.
I think your child is the problem and not the teacher. Stop letting her take things to school and please try a little discipline at home, might change things at school.

You need to teach your child she is not the center of attention and quit letting her take things to school unless the teacher says she can this teacher has more students than her to teach.

I teach 2nd grade and do not allow items from home to be brought to school. If something is out of their backpack and I see it I keep it until a grown up comes to get it. Those things are disruptive and distracting at best.
As for drama? This age girl is FULL of drama and I don’t tolerate that. If someone is crying because their friend is friends with someone else I’ll offer Kleenex and a hug then move on.
You’re being ridiculous in your expectations.

I agree with the teacher she needs to stop bring stuff from home to school. Teachers have rules for a reason and your child broke the rules by bringing stuff from home to school. The teacher has told your child not to and your child keeps doing it. You and your child are the problem not the teacher.

You could ask to sit on the class at the back and just observe to see whether your daughter is being disruptive or there is a strong vibe coming from the teacher towards her, My 8yr old has Autism and somethings really crush her when they shouldn’t… When asking why she was so overwhelmed she snapped saying her teacher growled at her. After pushing for what she got told off for , She replied that she jumped in a puddle and it splashed another child. I laughed because she was so scared to say what she had done. We ended up laughing it off and said to her that she would have been asked to stop because she was getting herself and others wet and muddy. When one of my kids come home saying someone did or said that , I ask what happened before that what were they saying or doing. Only on the occasions my girls weren’t provoking or stirring have I gone in and shut it down, A friendly email to her teacher first. Stating your daughters concerns and hear the teacher out and her reasoning and what she believed happened prior to going above her ?

I would be pissed if a teacher threw anything away. I don’t care if it’s a crumpled up receipt, a leaf from the playground or anything else, if my son has it out, tell him to put it away. Keep your hands off of other people’s belongings. If for some reason they have to take something away, I would expect to be able to go pick up whatever it is, as his parent.
On a side note, a teacher at my sons daycare told him to stop picking up rocks (he saves special rocks he finds for me), and I didn’t like that either. I love every little pebble that my baby brings me. It literally makes my life better to receive them from him. I’m a single mom, so I’ll take whatever gift he thinks I’ll like.
