So my DD was ill last week so we were doing some crafting and drawing as you do.
So we did some dots for her name and the number 3 for her to join up. Just for a bit of fun, DD enjoyed doing it and was proud that she wrote her name and age and wanted to show her preschool teacher. So off it went in her book bag then yesterday my DD come home and said her teacher grunted put her picture on the side and DD told me she didn't like it.
I didn't think too much about it just felt bit sad for DD thought she may of misunderstood the situation.
Today the preschool teacher approached me and said to not do them as they learn nothing from it as they could be writing anything and they will be covering letters in a week's time. Bit of a telling off haha
Felt so stupid, DD enjoys doing dot to dot letters but for fun. Surely it's all good holding the pen practice and why do all the learning books etc have them in.
Just frustrated as I felt a bit judged to be a pushy parent![dohh :dohh: :dohh:](/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/doh.gif)
I didn't realise preschool was so strict..
