Good for you for not giving in and sticking to what was important for your child.
I'm not the kind to get annoyed easily so I kept trying to be polite. Once I finally got through to the teacher, things went better.
Later in the year, I went along on a field trip to a museum with the class. The teacher assigned the three worst behaved children to me. I made it clear to the kids that shenanigans would not be tolerated... and they cooperated. When it came time for the bus back, all of my kids were lined up and ready... but two of the kids with the teacher were missing... soon to be found in the washroom at the museum. lol
that's how it goes, it's amazing how well behaved kids can be once they realize they have to be...
I think part of the reason why I love Calvin & Hobbes so much is how Calvin spends so much of his time living in his own head... It kinda resonates with me.
