回覆 #11 charlottg 的文章
Dear Charlottg.
I witnessed the approach of the teacher in the playgroup and hope to be able to tell you more.
(I have accompanied with my daughter almost 2/3 of the classes in Spring Term - Jan to March 2008)
In my case:
Teacher Robert was a class teacher hosting 2/3 of the class time.
There're other teachers joining to conduct some other subjects, like music and Mandarin.
The time of music seesion or mandarin seesion is only 15 minutes out of 2 hours.
As a class eacher, Techer Robert was like this:
In the first few weeks of the term, teacher Robert would not force the children to sit down when doing circle-time on the floor as he thought the children needed to take time to get settled in a new environment. Discipline is not a focus this time. He said it may take at least a month to get the children used to it.
His target was to let the children be comfortable and feel good.
Yes, I can say 10 out of 10 children would not sit and/ or stick to the parent/ auntie properly.
I have asked Teacher Robert what the role of the "carer" is in the classroom.
He told me "not to restrict them to wander around in the circle in the first place" until he really tells the parent/ auntie to do so.
Just like my daughter, she is very sociable - she walks to the teacher and the other aunties, dances in front everyone.
The tecaher will say "Ava, sit down please", she does not do so and he holds her then let her sit on his laps then.
He targeted to train up the children "listening to the discipline" rather than "helpful / interventionfrom parent/ auntie".
I have also seen some children really out of control (crying and shouting all times) and Teacher robert will use "Time-Out" method.
This means he will ask the parent / the auntie of that "crying" child leaves the classroom.
Teacher Robert watches the response of the child.
If he / she stops, the teacher will ask the parent / auntie back.
If he / she keeps the same, the teacher will ask the parent/ auntie leave the classroom with the child.
The purpose is to let him/ her clam down and not to disrupt further.
Of course, they are supposed to stay in the corridor or the medical room for the "time-out", NOT in the playground.
As I see, I can find this very effective.

Starting the second half of the term, he will put more focus on class discipline.
He mentions the children gets older than the time he/ she starts and the "getting -used" time has been given.
As the children being trained, they will usually understand what Teacher Roberts says.
This time Teacher Robert starts to "control" the class discipline.
He starts not to let the child wander around.
Time-out will easily appear by then.
Of course, he will continue what he is doing on hand - He cannot stops. Otherwise it is unfair to other participants.
The teacher has not ignored anyone even he / she is the naughtiest.
Teacher Robert really tells you what he thinks.
Of course as a carer you must open your ears and be open-minded.
Teacher is very happy to discuss with you about the school and the child.
Hope you find helpful.
