"Jude was not co-operating during class today and was very busyy bossing around his peers. " - I find this statement to be an attack on Jude's personality and it does not sound like the teacher is on his side at all, which for me is a MUST, especially if I am paying huge sums for my kid to get individual attention. All kids are different and like adults, they have quirks, the issue is that kids have quirks, but they are too little to handle them correctly, or take responsibility for them. Teachers SHOULD understand this and help as much as they can, NOT point fingers.

My son is only three, but we have placed him in a Waldorf school, and will keep him there. Their syllabus is completely out there, but their approach is simply amazing! My little "threenager" is quite the rebel, but not once have his teachers recognized this as an issue, they meet with my hubby and I every so often and together we come up with plans and strategies to keep our kiddo in line.
