Kindergardener acts wild at school?

Question

she is 5, going to a doctor and acts fine at home but when she goes to school she starts hitting screaming and do whatever she can to get out. they have suspended her for 5 days now. She didnt do this at the beginning of the school year, just the past month. They even told me to have someone come sit with her in class or homeschool, because they have given up. any suggestions

Answer 1

My lil bro has the same problem. We took him to the doctor and they said he had PDD. Look it up, because unfortunately, idk what it means.

Answer 2

Maybe shes having a hard time in the school?

She got suspended and she's only five years old?!

She's only five, don't let her leave school. Eventually, she'll grow out of it. Sit with her in class for one day and see how she acts. Teachers can't give up on a child, school is about education.

Answer 3

There in lies the problem.  "The school has given up" this shouldn't happen at a public school- or any school for that matter.  What happened about a month ago? New teacher, new student, new standards of learning? Have a falling out with her friends? There had to be something that happened- kids that were previously happy, cooperative, learning well children don't just up and change their behavior ONLY at school!  I would ask the teacher, aide, and anyone else to see if you can find what's going on.  Talk to your daughter- don't make it a "You are in big trouble, young lady- you tell me right now" kind of thing.  Ask her gently, tell her that you are concerned because it's your job to help her and make sure she is safe at school.  When you do talk to her it's best if you aren't just sitting down at the table and having a meeting- go get some ice cream, color, play school with her dolls/barbies and see what she does.  You can learn a lot from this kind of investigation.

If there is no problem, talk to the principal and ask to have her evaluated- maybe she has a learning disability, needs glasses, needs a hearing test.  Maybe she need's an IEP (individual education plan). There is also the possibility that she just isn't ready for school.  You want her to enjoy school, or at least learning.  This isn't a good enviornment for her, and you are going to have to stand up and start asking questions and demanding answers and solutions.  Soory to hear about this, but it's part of dealing with the public school system.  You could homeschool,  or look into a charter school that will provide the material and you teach her.  You have a lot of options, but you cannot sit by and allow this to happen to her, not in Kindergarten.
