Ok. I got a note from my sons teacher today. She said that she thinks Jace is lying all the time and telling her "stories" about things we have done. She says....

Jace said that he went to the State fair and rode a bunch of rides....(my reply)well we DID go to the COUNTY fair this summer but havent been to the STATE fair yet.

Jace said he was going to the state fair on Sunday but he had already told me you went last weekend..(My reply) We ARE going this weekend. I think he was remembering the COUNTY fair.

Jace said he's been to the ocean and has a big bag of ********s...(my reply) His dad brought him a big bag of ********s last summer from a business trip to California.

Jace said he has a dirt bike and rides it every weekend....(my reply) His cousins have a dirtbike that they keep at our house and they all ride it every weekend.

Jace said he's been to Mt Rushmore 3 times and has seen the faces in the mountian...(my reply) We HAVE been 3 times.

Jace said he saw a dead horse that an Indian shot...(my reply) We went to a museaum in SD where they have all of the "Dances with Wolves" movie props and there IS a horse with arrows in it.

This goes on and and for 2 pages. The only thing that is even remotley a "story" is that he has caught 100 fish and shot a shark.:rolleyes:

Am I wrong to think this woman is just looking for something to pick on? She told him in class that she thought he was lying. I called her and she told me all this same stuff.

I have no idea what to do. She wants a conference and wants to test him mentally. Hes 6 by the way....is it odd for a 6 yr old to say these kinds of things?

I would go talk to her.

09-12-2003, 07:56 PM

That doesn't make sense that she would think he's lying.
I read all of the stuff that you posted, and Being to the ocean
having a bunch of S e a s h e l l s Going to Mt.
Rushmore seeing the horse and going to county and state fairs isn't a big deal.
What did she have an extremely boring child hood and
can't believe that a kid of 6 has actually gone somewhere.:confused:
I don't get it.

I'm sorry that your son had to be called a liar in class:(
I know he made up the fish and shark thing but he's 6 not 16 he's
allowed an imagination.

Well Im not sure why she wants to test him. He reads and writes pretty well. Can add and a little subtraction. Typical 1st grade stuff I think. Im just pretty upset about this whole thing and I dont know what to do :(

Tiffany- I did talk to her. She said the same things as in the note and that he says some pretty far fetched things.

Oh and he also said he was going to Germany and she told him to stop telling stories. Well HELLO lady....my sister lives in Germany, we're going next summer. :rolleyes:

Why would that teacher say he was lying in the first place, that to me would be wrong, and i see nothing wrong with him needing testing. especially if he reads and writes pretty well, I would take him out of that class if i were you, seems to me and this is my own opinion, she is not a good teacher for your son.

09-12-2003, 08:26 PM

I guess your child gave her answers she didn't want to hear. Why is it any of her business what your family does? I just don't get why she's asking those questions & then telling you he's "telling stories/lying."

09-12-2003, 08:41 PM

Oh good grief!!! Sounds like for the most part your son either got confused on details and she just misunderstood him on some things, AND so WHAT if he makes up stories about catching 100 fish?!?! He is a 6 year old BOY for crying out loud!!! Of course it is a lie either way, but to be mentally evaluated for it is RIDICULOUS!!! SHE sounds like the one who needs mentally evaluated. He is 6 years old and has an imagination! :rolleyes: I would have to write her a little note back with a valium included :rolleyes:

jayhawkfan

09-12-2003, 08:43 PM

Well the questions are all on topic for the things they are studying right now or things that are going on. The state fair is here, they are studying the ocean, there is going to be a peace treaty the end of the month and they had a group come and do some Indian stuff today, just things like that. Its things that he has been telling in class which all are the topic at hand.

09-12-2003, 08:53 PM

I would copy all of the things everyone is saying here to you and show this teacher! This just enrages me that we pay these teachers salries and they are going to question YOU about your son? I think there may be a few other MORE IMPORTANT things for her to be voicing concerns over in our schools these days.

I raised 3 sons and every single one of them were storytellers when they were younger. Never a serious lie but some truth stetching etc. Your son is perfectly normal.

09-12-2003, 09:01 PM

Thank you all. I have been so upset about this since this afternoon that Ive pretty much made myself sick. I just kept thinking that maybe he is mentally ill and me, being the mother, hasnt noticed. I HATE it when someone starts making me question my parenting.

What makes it 10 times worse is that I know this lady. I went all through school with her kids, was at her house 99.9% of my free time in school. She was my DH's 1st grade teacher too, thats why he wanted her, we trusted her.

Legion600

09-12-2003, 09:05 PM

Sounds to me like she's upset that a six-year-old has more of a life than she does. I'd have a meeting with the principal and this teacher and get it all straightened out. I would probably also see about getting him moved to a different class and let the new teacher know why you moved your son out of this woman's class. She also owes your son an apology for calling him a liar.

At 6 you are going to have a big imagination. There is nothing wrong with that. We would not be as far progressed in our society without it. I mean look at the telephone. I am sure that people thought that Alexander G. Bell was "crazy" and "making things up" when he said that he could make the telephone work. She needs to take into consideration that he is only 6 and it is not like the things he made up (which were not a lot of things) were hurtful, they were just showing that he has an active imagination. Geez what a crime that is :rolleyes: (notice the sarcasm).

09-12-2003, 09:22 PM

This teacher sounds like a nut job to me! Show me one 6 yr old that has NEVER "streched" the truth just a little (ie..100 fish) BIG DEAL! As for the rest of the things...got any pictures or videos from your trips and vacation? I would make her look at or watch them all! Perfect thing for show and tell...a photo album filled with pictures from all his wonderful adventures!

If a 6 yr old told me he caught 100 fish I would just say..."Wow! That is cool. How big were they? Did you keep them? I bet you are the best fisherman in the world!"

This lady does NOT need to be teaching if she can't understand the mind and imagination of a 6 yr old!

Got to agree with everyone else. And it's besides the point if she believed him or not, she should have never told him she thought he was lying.

All kids that age exaggerate some- to a
child that age things do seem bigger or more! She needs to take a "chill pill" -I find it hard to believe she actually teaches a bunch of kids his age everyday and makes such a big deal over something like this. Have you talked to any of the other parents to see if she thinks this about other 6 year olds?
When my oldest daughter was in kindergarten she had to write journal entries every week-well this one week for one reason or another she writes this story about she had gotten a bottle of poison out from under sink and drinked it(That is where I keep cleaners and what not and my daughter knew this)-she also drew a picture of a bottle of poison with the skull and bones on it. I went to an open-house night and their journal were on their desk for parents to read-the teacher commented on her story and I read it at first I was like OMG no no she did not do this-I freaked out thinking they thought I was a bad MOM or something and was going to call DFACS on me or something-the teacher just laughed and said that kids that age have big imaginations and come up with all kinds of crazy things. lol
I asked her why she wrote it and at first she was scared cause it was not true and then she said I could not think of nothing to write!

maybe she's got a vandetta against u for something from years ago?? Or dh threw too many spit balls in her class and she's getting him back? I don't get it. Sounds to me like she's too picky. I agree, she must have lotsa time on her hands if she's going thru and nit picking something your boy said. Go to the conference and see what she's gotta say. But make sure u ask her if she goes thru all the 1st graders' heads and picks at their imagination/reasoning/stories just cuz it might not be what she wants to hear.

Jonete, you put that very well, exactly what I was thinking. Why is she so skeptical to think that a 6yr old could not have been tothe freakin Grand Canyon??? Good Lord!

09-13-2003, 05:52 AM

Ok, I absolutely agree with everyone else, but also consider this.

This woman knows your family and as such is being extremely unprofessional about it. I'm really feeling that she thinks that knowing you gives her extra privledges, which is totally wrong. She needs to treat your son the same as any other child in her class...Period.
I would talk to her and tell her that from now on, unless she can absolutely prove that your son is lying to keep from getting into trouble, or out of malice, that she needs to keep her yap shut and do the job she was hired to do....teach.
Otherwise, she needs to find another job, perhaps as a polygraph technician.

The bottom line is the majority of the things he has told her have a big basis on the truth and are just his perception or remembrances.

I don't care how many years she has known you and your dh. It does not give her leeway to tell you how to raise your son, nor does it give her permission to try to pretend he's hers to do with what she will.

Your DS sounds like he is a very talented and gifted child, and he has a very useful imagination..
You have clarified most of the stories that he has told, and although there were some things said that were not the truth, it is possible that he has had a dream of catching that many fish, etc. and for some reason thinks it to be true.

Teacher sounds like a quack job that has no business teaching 6 year olds..Sounds like she is the one that needs to be being taught!!

ckerr4

09-13-2003, 07:50 AM

I think that your son was not lying, or not even stretching the truth, exaggerating, or using his imagination. He was simply remembering things the best he could - he's only 6! How could anyone expect him to remember every detail of every thing he's ever done? The difference between "county" and "state"? Negligible, for a 6 year old. I would have a conference with her, face to face, and simply tell her that you son has done the things he said he did, even if, in his childish enthusiasm, he mix-uped some of the details. Also tell here that if she calls him a liar again, in class, or in written form, you will report her to the principle, your long relationship notwithstanding. If it continues, or if she takes it out on him in some other way, report her and change your son to another class, if one is available.

I do applaud you for not taking an adversarial attitude with the teacher, though. I like the fact that you have taken the attitude of "how do I solve this problem" rather than "we pay the teacher, I'm the boss of her, how dare she do this" - I think your way is much more helpful for your son.

Good luck.

ITA!

I hope you can get things worked out. I think she went out of line to even send you that letter saying that he was lying. I could see if he had said you lock him outside all the time, beat him with metal sticks or something but this is just him telling what he had REALLY done. All kids like to tell stories from time to time, she needs to chill out.

Angelseyes28

09-13-2003, 08:56 AM

Ok I'm sorry but I would be going to the principal and having my child placed with a different teacher. Because the way I see it, if this teacher is willing to call your child a liar without knowing the facts then there basically isn't anything she can teach him except how to demean and label people without ever learning anything about them. To me that isn't my idea of a "teacher". And heaven forbid something should ever happen to your son where he needs to tell the teacher.....odds are he won't speak up out of fear of being called a liar:( I hope you get everything worked out.

Willow

09-13-2003, 09:29 AM

That does seem odd that the teacher thinks he's lying. My son is 9 and he wouldn't know the difference between a STATE fair and COUNTY fair. To kids that age a fair is a fair. lol Kids also tend to exaggerate so even though what they are saying could be a little fabricated it doesn't make it a lie. My son exaggerates a lot. I think he wants to sound cool to his friends.

ebgreen74

09-13-2003, 11:45 AM

I don't see why the teacher is having such a problem believing what he's saying??? Its not like he's telling her he went to the moon and is expecting her to believe it. And if a 6 yr old told me he was going to Germany, I'd believe him because most 6 yr olds have not even heard of any other countries besides the US.

bonniejeanne

09-13-2003, 12:40 PM

It sounds to me like she's getting a little senile. Maybe all those years of teaching is catching up to her. I would definitely go to the principal and have your son put with a different teacher that won't be always putting him down. Her name calling could eventually lead to the other children calling him names, too.

*StarDust*

09-13-2003, 12:44 PM

Well if he's gone fishing a lot of times and caught fish, unless
he's actually sat down and kept a record of every fish he's caught,
say the # was 20 then thinking back on it as a 6 year old might do,
he may have thought that the number was around a 100.

I still don't think the teacher has any right to jump to conclusions
until she's heard all the facts. She decided without ever speaking to
you first about it that he was lying. That's not right.

momfromTN

09-13-2003, 12:59 PM

She wants to have him tested MENTALLY? She actually said "mentally"? I am just sitting here shaking my head in disbelief. I admire teachers for the most part. Most are hard workers and highly underpaid for the work they do. Most are valuable assets to the schools they work in and the students they teach. Then, there are the anal-retentive huns that think all is solved with some kind of drug, or mental testing. Your son is 6 yrs old, for crying out loud. That teacher sounds not only unprofessional, but really needs some training in how to handle children, IMO.

T has a 6 year old nephew and his imagination runs wild...he talks to himself as if he is playing with an imaginary friend cause sister is 13 and not interested. He comes up with some of the greatest things. I wish i had his imagination as it is constantly cruising on high. Think the teacher nneds to learn about young kids and their imaginations and the things they see that we dont think they know about or see.....

09-13-2003, 03:21 PM

so your son would be in ?K? 1st grade? my 1st question to the teacher would be "when the heck do you find the time to actualy oh...TEACH? "
what a nitpicky heffer!!
if it were me? umm a very nicely scanned copy of the note she wrote out for you..with a big "Q:" for her comments...then i'd anmswer every one of em with a "A:" get where i am going with this?> and bettter..hand it to her at the "conference":rolleyes: with copies for the principle and vice principle as well.. gotta love those tax dollars at work..
then tell her toget her head outa her arse..and do what she is payed for TEACH not commentate on teh validity of your YOUNG childs words!! GEESH...you live in ohio? you want me to verbaly rip her a new one?
she
's being overly picky..and whats worse..is ...she's putting your kid DOWN!! if this peice o work thats masquearading as a teacher called youre son out in front of his class mates...well..thats simply not acceptable!!

now...maybe if teachers were PAID decent $$ we'd be getting better people.
around here they are building damned near ALL new schools...now..all those millions of $$ and guess what? they don't have the people to staff/teach at these schools...umm so WHY BUILD THEM!!! GAH!! *banging head off of desk* these folks are completely nuits!!
oh well..have a good day and PLEASE LET ME KNOW HOW THIS TURNS out?
Peace!

ummm aren't we supposed to encourage our children's imaginations?????
My son is six and he loves to tell stories. And if he only told the teacher like 2 things that were a story then what the he!! is her problem?

~Roxy~

09-13-2003, 03:55 PM

Wow,sounds like the teacher does have a problem.Now if your son showed NO imagination at all,they would be telling you that there was a problem there.I hope everything gets worked out.

kidzpca

09-13-2003, 04:43 PM

It is normal for 6 year olds to have an active imagination. Since most of his "stories" are based on facts...he is developing normally.

I personally don't see that the things he talks about as lies or made up. It is normal to have some facts mixed up but eventually he will outgrow this as he grows up and matures. His mind is at a stage of growth and developement that is expected at this age.

It was entirely wrong of the teacher to call him a liar. In any form.

ASK THE TEACHER HOW LONG SHE HAS BEEN TEACHING YOUR SON'S GRADE/AGE GROUP. SOUNDS LIKE SHE HAS VERY LITTLE EXPERIENCE.

I WOULD ALSO REQUEST A NEW TEACHER, BEFORE SHE CONTINUES TO "LABEL" YOUR SON.

09-13-2003, 10:08 PM

You guys will never know how much all of your comments mean to me. Thank you so much. This is going to be the teachers last year and Im wondering if shes just being b!tchy cause she thinks she can. I will update after my DH goes and talks to her on Monday.

And AZ I'd loved for you to verbally rip her a new one.....but we're in Kansas :)

I have a 6 year old nephew and I don't think anything your son told the teacher was odd, he just told things how he sees it:)

I agree. My son is 8 and at the age of 6 he had an over active imagination (he still does now but he doesn't exxagerate as much as he used to). I think the teacher is just being nitpicky (is that a word? LOL!). If she keeps going on like that , i would talk to the principal, and thin about tryign to get him in a differnt class. If she is calling him a liar in front of the other students that can really do damage to his self esteem, and make him start to hate school.
When my son would exaggerate, (like say I read 100 books this weeked)his teacher would smile and say "wow you must be a really fast reader", or "wow you are really smart", or even just "that is really cool". Teachers should NEVER call a student a liar, and especially infront of classmates.
It is also really easy for a child to get confused like remember ign wether they went to the county or state fair. We had a circus in town the same week we had a small fair called the fall festival. He would occasionaly make the mistake saying he went to the festival, and saw the animals, instead of the circus.

If the teacher keeps on how she is acting toward you son, definately complain to the principal and the superintendant if you have to!

Sounds like my 9 year olds teacher a couple years ago she tested him and called me in to talk over the test (to tell me how awful he did)
well i guess so they tested him on math, reading, and managing money shopping for him self dressing himself (right)ok i can see the math and reading but i know high schooler not mention some grown ups who can manage money shop and get all they need needless to say i told her my views on the test which (were very stupid) to use that test to see how advanced he was in school years they say he was behind but the other teachers in the conference agreed test was not right for him but not his teacher lol (of course)

I to had a teacher were speaking of she asked in class one day to raise hand if you had a passport i of course raised my hand she in return informed me i was lying so i went home and told my mother and she went to the school next day and showed the passport to her and she was made to apolize in front of class but later sais she didnt think anyone in my family had been out of the county (she was really rich )didnt need to teach and was hatiful sounds like your child has a teacher like mine lol tell her

I have no idea what to do. She wants a conference and wants to test him mentally. Hes 6 by the way....is it odd for a 6 yr old to say these kinds of things?

Why is this odd???? These are things associated w/his life. Things he does/will remember.

I would have a talk w/her as well as the principal. He's not lying. He's not even stretching the truth imo. These are all things that he sees/does/has been to in his short life. To him they are exciting and new and he wants to share w/others.

How dare a teacher accuse a child of lying w/out finding out the facts first.

Reminds me of Scooby's first week of kindergarten. He was asked to draw a picture of his family....of course there was him, mom and I....in a wheelchair (drawn to the best of his ability being 5).

Boy, was that teacher shocked when I p/u Scooby one day. She apologized said she was sorry. She thought he'd been lying about the wheelchair.

Your son's "stories" don't sound that far fetched to me. I would tend to believe him. Maybe he doesn't explain it's his dad, cousin, a vacation that he's seen, done, looked, went to.

What is important is that he does have happy exciting memories of these things.

Good luck and talk to the teacher and principal if you have to. :)

Wow! Sounds like you need to sit down and have a chat with that so called teacher! First off, what boy or man, hasn't streched the truth about a fishing trip?(you know the stories where the fish keeps getting bigger;) ) I have a 5 1/2 YO old DD, and a 7 YO son. I love that they have an imagination. Keeps things less hectic around here. And it seems that you have gone alot of places with your family, and your son has learned from those trips. I say keep up the good work. Your son sounds like a smart talented young boy!

I think I would be in the principal's office first thing requesting a new teacher. Even if she did suspect he was lying, she should have talked to you about it first. To call him a liar in front of the class was horrible!

Children look up to their teachers (or at least they did), and having a person of authority call you a liar will undermine him with his friends. His friends will feel if teacher called him a liar, I can too..and it can affect him making friends.

I'd get my son out of there first, then lodge a complaint against the teacher.

Well we just got back. It went pretty well I think. That is until my DH opened his mouth lol. I took all our vacation photos and let her have a look. Then she apologized and said that she has to nip things like that in the bud because there are really kids who dont know what the truth is. She also said that after she sent the note home she re read it and realized that it sounded alot harsher than she meant it to.

DH stood up and said "You do your job and give him his education and let me worry about his morals. Call me when he does something wrong." and left. She was stunned LMAO. Im giving her one more chance and is anything else happens Im moving him. The principal agreed. Im also going to be working in his classroom several hours a week and she told me to drop in at any time.

This is SO wrong. A teacher should NEVER tell a student he/she believes the student is lying, especially in class. Now, with that said, I would make her understand, he is 6 YEARS OLD and has a vivid imagination. This makes for a GREAT author one day. She needs to be more supportive of his imagination, rather than shoot him down. So he "stretches" the truth. Let him roam his mind. One day, who knows, he will be as famous as John Grisham. :D

09-16-2003, 09:16 AM

Oh yeah I called here out on that too. She said she didnt say it in class, but while the other kids were at recess. I told her that wasnt the point. That she shouldnt have called him a liar in the first palce. DH basiclly told her the same things that were said in this thread. She said one of the reasons she wrote the note was because he has such a great imagination.....what ever that means?

Glad you got things straight for now, hopefully from now on she will think first before she calls another child a liar.

lol Thanks AZ...I think you rock too :)

brumzoo- Funny thing is this teachers not all that old...maybe late 50's

When Jace got home last night he told me that she said she was sorry for not believing him, so she did at least tell him. My sister is the one to thank for what my DH said to her. She a preschool teacher and gets really angry when things like that are said and done. Im just glad its over *crossing fingers* and we can get on with the year. Thanks again for everything you all have said. Im thinking about printing it all out like someone suggested, just in case it happens again.
