I would love to email you more offline. I asked this question not ten minutes before you asked yours. \n\nhttp://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Aq6XmCFq0GO2oc2rAE5VBpvsy6IX?qid=20061115134105AAjuk9Q\n\nAnd guess what, I'm a teacher ... and have been for the last three years ... and I just finished my master's four months ago. I thought it was what I would do for the rest of my life ... but this year is different. The passion has just died in me, and I promised myself that if the passion left, I would leave the profession. So, I am trying to figure out what to do. \n\nIf you feel comfortable, please email me (it's in my profile) and we can talk more about this.

Definitely do tell people about it! My daughter was bullied at school, and hated life until she was moved. Talk to the school, BUT if they do nothing, then go right to the state teaching board (not 100% sure how things work in the US) but if the school does nothing, go right over their heads. My daughter had proof that this other student had stolen her wallet, yet the school didn't want to know about it, or the many other ocassions.

Does your son use an agenda book for school?  I've seen my students open up their books and those who find surprise hello messages/ love notes showing no matter what happens... they have less stress, knowing they can do "no wrong".  I've written on my daughters' actual napkins and ziploc bags so that when they got to lunch they could eat, relax, and know that mommy and daddy love them.  Send a hot cocoa packet with a note that says, "when you get home, I can't wait for you to quiz me with the  hardest test question!"

I don't know, but don't get angry and give up! Keep your cool and you'll get a job. Counselors are a much needed part of our school systems nowadays. It'll happen! I'm sure many schools are just waiting for a good counselor. \nBest of luck to you!

I've had issues with a preschool my kids went to for a few months about a year ago.  \n\nThe school was basically two large rooms, separated by age using partitions, instead of actual walls and doors.  What made this LOTS of fun is that my oldest (who was 3 1/2 at the time) and my youngest (who had just turned two) were in different classes, but could often see each other running around their individual classes.  Every time Colin (the little one) saw Cameron (the older one) in passing, he'd start up crying again.  Apparently, he was in a perpetual state of separation anxiety.\n\nThis same school, in Colin's class, did virtually nothing "learning".  They would play, nap, etc., but there was no circle time, no active learning experiences.  Basically, his "class" was just supervised play, or babysitting.  \n\nCameron's class, however, I think was TOO advanced.  At 3 1/2 years old, his class had journals.  They would have reading time (which I normally would have no problem with, but no one seemed to notice that he was just glancing through one book after another, instead of someone working with him).\n\nThe final thing, though, was when Cameron's teacher called Child Protective Services because he had a scrape on his face.  She had not been there in the morning, when we told his morning teacher we had taken him to a park and he fell down, so she called in this "unexplained injury".  The total communication breakdown this evidenced kind of sealed our decision to change schools.  After the change, both of the kids just started learning A LOT, and we noticed major changes in them.\n\nI think there are some major things to look for to decide if your child is in a "good" school.\n\n1. Does the school encourage you to visit, call or ask questions?  My kids' current school has one woman working in the office, and she knows us all by name.  We were encouraged to visit before enrolling the kids, and we can visit or come up there at any time.  They were also very understanding when I called every morning about an hour after drop off for about a month, just to make sure the kids were okay.\n\n2.  Are the classrooms spacious?  Are there potties closeby (for potty-training kids, having bathrooms for 1-2 classes is GREAT)?  Does each child have his or her own storage space (cubbies or lockers)?  Is there natural light (I like that there are big picture windows in my kids' classrooms)?  Is there a playground with safe, fun equipment?  Is there a covered area outside for play on lightly rainy days (this isn't always there, but there's a big back porch where the kids play, and is covered with chalk drawings, on rainy, but not storming, days).\n\n3.  Are the children there clean, and do they seem to be comfortable and happy?  Do the teachers interact with them on a child-friendly level?\n\n4.  After you enroll your child, does he seem happy in the evenings?  If asked, will he tell you things he learned, and what he did that day?  Does he seem to like his teachers?  After a while, does drop off get easier?\n\nIt's important to remember that, even for a child who LOVES his school, his teachers, his friends, drop-off is NOT a foolproof way to find out if he is happy.  My 3-year-old plays happily throughout the day, and he's just crazy about Miss Paula, but when I drop him off, he cries and cries.  I've asked occasionally, and been told that I'm probably not even out of the parking lot before he's happily playing with his friends, listening to a story, or telling Miss Paula about what he did the night before.  This is VERY normal for young kids, and for slightly older kids who are naturally shy, VERY attached, or who are going through some major changes (for example, if your child is being put in daycare/preschool because the parents split up, he moves out of the house with Momma, and Momma, who has always been home with him, has to go to work, all parts of

does your school have like a summer program? That's what I did when I was your age, I talked to one of the counselors and they set up an interview and voila!

Try googling "e-mail finder." There's lots of online directories and things like that specifically for this purpose.\n\nLike all those annoying "Classmates.com - She married him!? They have 7 kids!? ads."

I went through a very similar situation and after months of being told by the teacher and the principal that there must be a problem at home, I found out another child was having the same problems mine was.  The other mom and I got together and came up with a plan.  We each got our child to tell us why the other child was having so much trouble.\n\nTurned out there was another child in the class bullying and intimidating ours so badly that there were days they spent all their time huddled under their desks.  \n\nWhile I still could not get the school to admit to a problem, I did find a sympathetic vice principal who allowed my child access to her office at any time he felt he could not handle being in the class anymore.  \n\nIt wasn't the perfect solution but it got us to the end of that school year and I made sure I had some say in what class he went into the next year.  Things improved after that.  \n\nIf you truly are not having discipline problems at home and the only place there really seems to be a problem is at school, then I would be looking very hard at why there is a problem at school.  Don't take the teacher's word for anything...that teacher may very well be the problem.  Talk to other parents and find out if anyone else is going through something similar to what you are.  Make sure your child understands that you know there is a problem and you are doing your best to help.  Let him know he has you on his side.  \n\nGood luck.  Sure would like to know the outcome of this one.

Why the hell are you asking people on the internet? Get a counselor!

Is there a guidance counselor or a trusted teacher you can speak with?  You could also try to speak with the school nurse.\nAre there any clubs at your school you could get involved with after school, or maybe a sport you could play?  If would give you a chance to get out of the house a bit and maybe make some new friends and develop some new interests.\nI hope it works out for you.
