HELLO,

 i'AM A MOTHER OF THREE OUR OLDEST DAUGHTER(6) HAS ADHD ,I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH HER TEACH THIS YEAR , THE 2ND DAY OF SCHOOL SHE WAS TLKING ABOUT MY CHILD , MY DAUGHTER IS VERY BRIGHT ABOVE HER GRADE LEVEL READER SHE IS JUST A LITTLE HYPER AND CAN'T SIT STILL. I HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING SHE IS ON MEDS , IF SHE ACTS UP IN SCHOOL I GAVE HER TEACHER THE RIGHT TO TAKE AWAY HER RECESS, BUT I HAVE BEEN PUSHED TO FAR THIS TIME THE CHILDREN ARE GOING ON A TRIP FOR SCHOOL THIS TEACHER TELLS ME I NEED TO GO IN ORDER FOR MY CHILD TO GO. I TALKED TO HER SHE TOLD ME IT WAS BECAUSE OF THE WAY MY CHILD ACTS IN HER CLASS AND I TOLD HER SHE WENT LAST YEAR ON THE SAME TRIP AND HAD NO PROBLEM SO WHAT IS WRONG THIS YEAR THAN SHE SAY WELL I 'LL JUST KEEP HER WITH ME AND I TOLD HER IF YOU DON'T WANT MY CHILD TO GO THAN I WILL KEEP HER HOME WITH A SMILE AND A NICE VOICE SHE SAYS NO I REALLY WANT HER TO GO, SO I SET UP A TEACHER PARENT GC MEETING, I SOME HOW FEEL LIKE I'AM LOSING THIS BATTLE IF A TEACHER GOS FROM 4 GRADE TO 1ST THATS NOT MY PROBLEM , SHOULDN'T THEY KNOW HOW TO DEAL WITH MY CHILD , SHE IS A GIFT FROM GOD AND IT SEEMS LIKE THEY ARE SETTING HER ASIDE.

I think the teacher sees it as a safety issue. If your daughter needs too much attention, either she or the other students will be neglected. At our school, they ask for parent volunteers to help chaperone these trips. They have to limit the number of parents allowed because so many want to go. They have also requested that parents of very active children go with their child. Its a common practice.

It is common for parents of children in the early grades to go on field trips with their child's class. I went with my son every chance I got and we enjoyed it so much. It also allowed us to spend time on the things which interested him instead of having to follow the crowd. Having younger children at home, it would enable you to have some wonderful one on one time with your daughter.

I don't think your daughter's teacher meant it as discrimination. I really believe she was looking out for your daughter's best interests. Having switched from 4th to 1st this year, she may have been concerned that she wouldn't be able to keep up with her. Its better to have a teacher who doesn't try to be super woman at the risk of a child's safety.

If at all possible, I would advise you to go. It will make the trip that much more special for your daughter and you will enjoy it more than you think.

If you really can't go, I would thank the teacher for being willing to keep your daughter with her so that she can go. It sounds like she does want her to. I would make sure that the teacher knew how much I appreciated it.
