This is getting on my nerves. My son has been bringing toys/playing cards to school with him and the teacher catches him with this stuff. My wife checks his book bag/pockets but he finds places to hide it anyway.
Ok, I get it, he's a 6 year old kid. When I was his age and the teacher caught us with stuff, she would take it from us and put it in her desk and we got it back at the end of the year. I have no problem with that. If she takes his toys, he'll quit bringing them to school. I've made this known several times. As a matter of fact, take his toys and throw them in the trash! She has my blessing!
Instead my wife gets emails like this one today, because the teacher doesn't take control of the situation.
"Good afternoon
Alex has still been bring toys and trading cards to school. Today I asked him to put the cards in his book bag because he was playing with them in the middle of class. He went to his book bag but did not put them in there. During lunch he pulled the cards out again and started passing them out to other students. This has happened with Alex several times when I have asked him to put toys away. He also still is not paying attention in class and not completing his work because he would rather play with the things at his desk or his jacket."
He's a good kid but this is infuriating.
