[QUOTE="totoro, post: 45837, member: 3155"] I was thinking about this topic the other day especially after going on a field trip with difficult child 1 and witnessing her lack of friends, anxiety, pure frustration when dealing with life!!! Her teacher in her pre-school is always saying she is fine, she seems fine, she is so happy, blah, blah, blah. At this field trip NO-ONE noticed a thing... husband and I had to help her at least 4 times. Afterwards we asked each other what does she do when we are not around? I have witnessed little things like this in the school before as well. I have read from lots of you that the teachers say your g'sfg are fine in school. This made me wonder if some of these teachers have no clue what subtle issues would look like? As long as they are not raging, freaking out, causing a huge scene, everything is fine??? But do they notice the anxiety, the elevated moods, the shaking, the fear etc. The major issues that come out when they come home??? From trying to keep it together in school? I wonder if we sat in the classroom and observed them more and with the teachers ( without difficult child knowing) if we would be able to point out things that the teachers never noticed? I have yet to enter public school, but I have witnessed this in our Waldorf and Montessori programs many times. Because our difficult child is usually smiling and changes mood quickly, they don't pay much attention to her unless she is causing a scene. I don't know what I am saying, kind of rambling, I just wonder if some of the kids that they say are "fine" and are only "bad" at home, maybe are not. Maybe the teacher's just know what to look for? I also realize they can't just sit and observe 1 child all day... but I bet some teachers would see the kids a little differently if they were tuned in to the little subtle things. hmmm [/QUOTE]
