[QUOTE="Ktllc, post: 519594, member: 11847"] Always makes me smile when the topic shifts to a cultural issue. I am French and can't deny I'm a lot stricter than the typical American parent. And look at my family: 2 PCs and 1 difficult child! Just because I have different expectation for my chidren, does not mean my way is right or wrong. What the teacher told J is something I would tell my kids and I would not get offended if a teacher was to scold my child for wrong doing. Do I expect my children to be perfect? No. But when they do something wrong, even if it is age appropriate, I do scold them. Malika, I think what J did was age appropriate, but not acceptabe. You might need to choose a quiet time and explain very clearly what the rule is about wandering alone. In your case, maybe he needs to ask permission EVERY SINGLE time. This way you can give it a ok or a no (ok, go but don't stop until you're at the house. or sorry J but you have to ride to school). [/QUOTE]
