My kid got kicked out of Vacation Bible School!

Date sort Score sort
Glad you taught him to respect authority and explain that there are consequences for his actions rather going with your first (and any Moms) first reaction of how dare you hurt my kid. Great work.
 
For those that don't know VBS is Vacation Bible School- I didnt know what this thread was about for two pages until I saw Debi's post and put two and two together. I have never seen an acronym used for this.


I agree that the teacher should speak directly to you.... I hope she calls!

O.K. gotta insert my 2 cents here lol. Yes VBS is about learning patience, love, trust, compassion and understanding etc.
I taught a one room Sunday school class for a couple of years. In that class was pre-k thru 6th or 7th grade. The pre-k child had special needs, shoot a few of the kids did, but I still made it work for all the kids involved and it was just me. Some Sundays it was 20+ kids I know doesn't sound like many but our class was during the entire service time.
Everyone learned, everyone had fun, including the kids who spent the hour some days running around the table. You could ask those kids months later about the lesson and they could tell you everything about it.
So a pre-k child doesn't want to sit still, my thoughts on it.....that's ok, because I know you can still hear me.
Maybe another VBS somewhere else would be more in tune with practicing what they are teaching.

Besides.....its not like your child was cursing, screaming, tantrums, and telling them their doctrine was wrong.

well to bad we did not live closer together cause I would do play dates...Alicia my DD has horns and i can prove it you can see them growing ...really..(wait maybe thats her pig tales)

Alicia was in JK and it was story time (why is it story time brings out the best in children?) anyway she would not stop talking to her friends and she actually asked the teacher to stop talking cause she was distracting her while she was talking to her friends.

the teacher said well its story time...Alicia piped right up and said "well pick a better story then cause this one is boring"

when the teacher called me I could almost hear the steam coming from her ears...I laughed..I am sorry I know i should not have laughed at the teacher but it was funny...my DS was the same way and he is 17 now.

with DS...it was grade 1 and the teacher was bent over at his desk trying to explain to him how to do a math problem and my DS said to him..."man your breath stinks, you need to brush better. My mom had this stuff that you out inyr mouth and make a noise and then spit it out, it makes your breath much better"...again I got a call but this time the teach was laughing too!
 
oh my yes they would get along famously!

ETA: I dont fell that my kid is being picked on or anything like that. Thats not the objective of the thread. My kids' grandfather is one of the most well-known and liked men in the town (800 ppl) and my kids get a lot of good treatment because of their grandpa. THey can handle a little let down now and again, I am one of those moms who is againts giving all the kids a prize just for showing up...thats not fair to the ones who actually earned a prize! My point with the thread is that its darn funny, yes the adults could have done it differently, I know, but how many times does a kid get sent home from VBS!? Only mine

LOL! I would have laughed, too.

I have volunteered at many VBS sessions at different churches (pre-kids and while my own were attending) and the younger groups can be hard to handle, especially when some kids are more 'rowdy' than others.

None of the ones in our town accept children any younger than K age any more for that reason-there were too many problems with pre-K age kids crying for mom/having accidents in their pants/not of the maturity to sit still or listen, etc. It's a shame for the kids who got a lot out of it, but I understand completely from the teacher's standpoint.

Sorry it was 'your kid' but it sounds like you have a great attitude about it.

I got kicked out of the Brownies at the age of 7!!! and they woudn't allow me to join the Girl Scouts a year later. That was back in the day when little girls were suppose to be all sugar and spice, not torn up knees, baseball cap and glove.
