Rebekah's first day of kindergarten was today.
I have to say, I think her teacher is a damn fruit loop. I signed up for the parent help and I was rostered on the first day, which was today, so very second monday i'll be helping out (cuttng up the fruit salad for afternoon tea, cleaning, etc)
The teacher is just so unbelieveably overprotective of them, they have blocks but theyre not allowed to stack them more than two blocks high, incase it falls on someone, well, whats the point of having blocks if you cant build with them? They have monkeybars but theyre off limits, because theyre dangerous. They are the height of a 4yr old, the kindergarten is not shared with a pre-school or school or anything, its a stand alone place, it was BUILT for 4yr olds.
One of the kids tripped over their shoelace, he had a little red mark on his knee, she made him sit with ice for a whole entire hour, when they played musical statues he was not allowed to stand up, he had to play sitting on the chair with the ice on his knee, this was half an hour after he fell, on carpet, inside.
She inpects their lunch boxes, we have to provide them with morning tea and lunch, aswell as a piece of fruit to 'donate' towards the fruit salad for afternoon tea.
SHE INSPECTS THEM. She has ruled up a chart and notes what theyre eating, I asked her if this was a government requirement or something, she said "No, I just like to look after the children and make sure theyre being fed well"
Thats not her place to do that. Rebekah offically has a red mark on her line because I am such a horrible mother and I gave her a jelly (or jello, whatever you call it) cup to go with her lunch. No, nevermind that she had a nice healthy turkey, cheese, lettuce, tomato and grated carrot sandwich on dark rye bread, and I gave her a tub of yoghurt for morning tea, and that she ate two bowls full of fruit salad in the afternoon, that damned jelly cup made the big red marker come out.
Ugh, would it be detrimental to Bek if I moved her to another kindergarten? She's only been there for one day and I really want to throttle that lady.

Its none of her business what's in those kids' lunch boxes. I mean literally, she shouldn't be opening them at all. It's ridiculous. I'd say the only thing that's her business is the fruit going into the salad cause everyone is eating that so you have to be careful I guess.
