[QUOTE="Andy, post: 161291, member: 5096"] It sounds like the school has already overreacted. Turn the tables on them by asking why in the world did THEY make such a scene? How can we expect our difficult child's to stay calm and work through problems when teachers can't figure it out? Everyone was under the normal performance stress and the teacher's reactions probably ruined the evening for a lot of people. Her reactions clearly show she was reacting with anger - not what we want from our teachers. Tell them that they should have: 1. Observed Miss KT's behavior. Many kids make that last "I hate you" movement in either words or a sign. If nothing was done at that moment, it probably would have ended. 2. The next day, ask to TALK to her - not chew her out. Since the director is not mature enough to talk calmly and realize that Miss KT is still just a child, then another adult could discuss it with her. I think difficult child's are like us. Once someone starts chewing me out, I am not going to make an effort to show that I wish I hadn't done something and in fact will continue doing so just to show them. However, if someone talked to me with concern for why I did this, I just may listen and may think about it. Yes, Miss KT is in the wrong here, however kicking her out of band was certainly uncalled for. That is not going to help her learn how to handle her anger. [/QUOTE]
