My oldest daughter started kindergarten Monday.<br /><br />Sunday night she cried when I read her bedtime stories to her....she didn't want to go to school. She said she would never see me again. She would be in school all day every day and never see me during the daytime anymore. She wants to stay home and spend every day with me like she always has. I almost cried too.<br /><br />Monday...the teacher sent her to the principles office. I was so angry!!! Right after lunch they go to recess, then in for naptime. She got up when she was supposed to be laying down so she was sent to the office. She was scared and didn't want to go so the teacher drug her leaving a mark on her arm. Then she spent 3 hours of the afternoon in the office. She had such a bad stomache ache when we picked her up because she was afraid to ask to go potty. The prionciple never thought that right after lunch she may need to go potty within 3 hours! The principle said she spent 3 hours in the office because she didn't want to go back to class. The teacher said because she fell asleep in the office. Who is lying? Anyway I don't think a 5 year old should go to the office the first day, and I think the teacher needs to gain some respect and control of her class. My little girl said when she got home that "daddy you lied to me. You said I would have fun and like school. I didn't have any fun and never want to go back." I won't take any respect away from the teachers so I told her she needed to obey the rules and do as she is told. Then we took her to her teacher to talk about it. <br /><br />Tuesday she came home happy and every since then loves school. She is mad that they read slower than she does, but it will all even out soon. <br />Now she loves school and says she has a lot of friends. Is it always this hard to let them go? I miss her through the day, even though I still have my 2 little ones with me it isn't the same.<br />
