I switched glasses when your back was turned! Ha ha! You fool! You fell victim to one of the classic blunders! The most famous is never get involved in a land war in Asia, but only slightly less well-known is this: never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line!

Ok as a teacher I am horrified that she made a little child cry with such a draconian rule...what is her problem?
I'd go in and talk to the teacher. Tell her you understand about need for rules and classroom control and just let her know how concerned you were about this and ask if she could announce to the kids the procedure for what to do if your pencil breaks or needs sharpening during a "no sharpening" time. She likely just didn't think it through all the way to that and just wanted to have a way to make sure kids stay in seat and didn't distract. Then she can let the whole class know how she wants it handled and it won't single your little one out any more than she feels she has been. I'd also tell your daughter that sometimes teachers are trying just as hard as she is and make mistakes anyway and that it's important to be patient with everyone even when they seem to be unfair. I'd also teach her the " I'm not sure that's fair" strategy. She raises her hand, waits until the teacher comes over, tells her she's not sure the rule is fair and ask to talk to her after class or at recess ( she may be a bit young for this yet, but she can learn it later) then go in after class and talk to the teacher. It usually works unless the teacher's a right bitch.
Wow that was way longer than I meant to post...sorry I kind of get all nutty about teaching...carried away there.

But we're still glad you're here, whatever it's too _____ for (I assume you meant too early). 
EDIT: Ahh, I see what you meant. I'll quit nit-picking. *hugs*

What's clash? I've never heard of that one I've tasted all the others, the original is the best, code red is also awesome, pitch black's not too bad, in both it's incarnations, the rest I didn't care for.

Morning everyone! Or really afternoon, since I used this day off to catch up on sleep. I'm rather glad that my boss thought my classes had started already, because it means lots of time off for me to recover, but I did have to correct him just so I can make as much cash as possible before I have other things on my hands. I have DragonCon bills to pay *g*
It's so good to see everyone 
I missed those of you who weren't at the Con.
Kel, I've had teachers like that. One of them turned out to be a herion addict, but mostly they were just bitches. I advise getting your sweet little girl an automatic pencil to take care of this particular problem. I loved those things in schools. If the teacher continues to scream about little things, I would say the least effective thing you could do would be to talk to her; talk to her coworkers about their policies, and talk to the principal, because that's the only way to overturn something unreasonable. My mom had to do a crazy, crazy amount of battle when I was flunked for leaving an assignment in my homeroom desk and not being allowed to go back for it. It's ridiculous, what some teachers will put children through just to feel that they're in control. No disrespect to the lovely teachers here, of course. I've met MsG and I'm sure she doesn't feel the need to resort to such things to feel in control, she just is. She's in charge, no ifs, ands, or buts, and she's sweet about it. This woman you're talking about has a lot to learn about being decent to kids.

Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.
