I need to find your email address, or I'll just send you a comment since I don't know if you'll see this!<BR/><BR/>Jeff-The thing is, the parents DO know how difficult he is and I'm always torn about how honest to be about how he was. I don't want to tell them he was horrible, because sometimes he's not as bad as other times, but I also don't want to lie and say he's an angel, because he never is one. Oh yeah, and his Mom is also one of the Sunday School teachers...he acts the same if she's there.<BR/><BR/>Although she did kick him out of class a couple of weeks ago.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01979925607834752536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28021129.post-28826563669554669112007-03-29T12:43:00.000-05:002007-03-29T12:43:00.000-05:00I'm all for "mainstreaming" the difficult kids so ...I'm all for "mainstreaming" the difficult kids so they can learn social skills, but there always needs to be a couple of rules when parents do this. <BR/><BR/>1 - they shouldn't just "dump" the kid on somebody else so they (the parents) can simply have quiet time alone. That's not fair to the teacher and the rest of the students. At a minimum one of the parents or an older sibling should be in the room with them.<BR/><BR/>2 - The teacher should have to right to request that the kid have additional supervision - and if not, to not allow him to be in the class. <BR/><BR/>Tell the Sunday school director you will help on these terms only. As well, make sure you communicate with the parents of these problem kids and tell them honestly how their kids are behaving. Otherwise they might not even be aware of how much a disruption the kids are being.<BR/><BR/>Sorry, didn't mean to come off as Mr. Knowitall - I've just had too many years of experience in this area.Jeff and Charli Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13868852480996815442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28021129.post-50853702870701735382007-03-29T10:33:00.000-05:002007-03-29T10:33:00.000-05:00There are some great Sunday School Lesson resource...There are some great Sunday School Lesson resources on-line where you can get craft ideas, snack recipes, games, and coloring pages all for the lesson you are looking for.
