school superintent, sue the state board of education. The little
brat was so traumatized that he will probably become gay or commit
murder someday. I get so tired the ways people plan to get money, money,
money! At least she didn't spank him, as we were when we acted up in
school. Not only by the teacher but our parents when they found out we
had misbehaved.

I didn't think it was cruel. It did seem unusual, though.

I didn't think it was unusual. Evidently, she did that to other boys
who misbehaved. Blake

I think it was stupid. First because the little boy was treated the way he
was, then because a dress would identify him with a girl, so the association
isn't good either. It makes me feel that in this teacher's eyes it's a
punishment to be a girl.

Report: Boy Forced To Wear Skirt As Punishment
Teacher Allegedly Confesses To Putting Dress On Student
A Central Florida preschool faces allegations of punishing children in
an unusual and potentially traumatic way after a teacher's reported
confession of putting a boy in a girl's dress, according to a Local 6
News report.
The family of a 5-year-old boy who was reportedly put in a yellow dress
because he was talking too much said Friday that they plan to file a
lawsuit against the Merriday Montessori School.
"It was a form of punishment, because he would not listen, they put him
in a dress," the boy's grandmother Brenda Bradley said. "A yellow dress,
and had my other grandson and the rest of the class laughing at him."
The details Bradley told Local 6 News about were confirmed in a 43-page
Department of Children & Families report obtained by Local 6 News. In
the report, the teacher admitted that she put a dress on the boy
because, she stated, he was "being unruly."Local 6 News obtained a copy
of the taped interview between the DCF case worker and the 5-year-old
child describing the incident:
Child: "When I was watching TV, I was talking too much and Miss Valerie
put the dress on me."
DCF worker: "What color was the dress?"
Child: "Yellow."
DCF worker: "With flowers?"
Child: "Um hum. -- they laughed at me with the dress."
DCF worker: "Who?"
Child: "Everyone."
The child's mother, Tiffany Fairlamb, told Local 6 News that the teacher
said her son would not listen so she had to put him in a dress,
according to the report.
Local 6 News has learned that the case may not have been an isolated
incident, according to reporter Wendy Saltzman.
Saltzman said that another child told his mother that a different boy at
the school had been punished in the exact same way.
"I think this is a practice that happened more than once, by more than
one teacher to more than one student," Fairlamb said.
Local 6 News reported that Merriday Motessori School stonewalled
repeated requests for an interview and refused to acknowledge the
unsettling allegations.
Local 6 News reported that DCF closed their case without any action,
because, they said there was a low level of risk since the family has
already removed their two kids from the school.
However, Local 6 News will investigate whether DCF did their job in
Friday night's 11 p.m. show and speak to another parent.

Say what? I went back and read the story again after seeing your post.
There is not one word in it that indicates that the parents are
considering suing. I think that subjecting a child to the ridicule of
his peers is worse than spanking him.

No wonder the doctors are refusing to deliver babies any more --at least
in Mississippi. If anything goes wrong, there's a lawsuit. So the
premium is now so high, it isn't worth taking the risk.
It's one reason the schools have no control over the children any more.
Seems like everybody has a grudge against teachers.
Instead of going to the school and requesting whatever style of
discipline the parent thinks suitable to control their children, they go
public or sue. It puts the teacher, who has to try to control 30 -40
children, in the position of being humiliated and having the control
taken away. It puts the misbehaving child or children in control, and
into the position of leading the entire class to misbehave.
It rather forces the parents who want their children to learn, to put
their children in private schools. It puts the children who want to
learn, but whose parents can't afford private schools, at a distinct
disadvantage, along with the teacher. But these days, everyone thinks
"Me First. Me Now."
Well, bad behavior never improves automatically. As they get older, it
gets worse.

My 7yo grandaughter dressed her 4yo brother in her outgrown pink tights,
tutu, and those little plastic high heel dressup shoes--which were still
too big on him-- and made him a paper crown and gave him a wand. (Wish
I had a picture.) They were playing that he was Glenda the Good Witch
of the East, and she was Dorothy. Lots of giggles. Their mama came to
look and giggled, too. Then their daddy came home, saw him, and had a
fit. Spoiled the whole play.
There is no doubt that this grandson will be a comedian, and a very
masculine teenager .-- He just has that aggressive personality. I
really don't think he is marked for life by wearing a tutu at age 4 or
acting a female character.

parents going to the media because of disagreeing with their child's
punishment. They both cause a big flap that should have been talked
through if it became necessary. Blake

There's just no telling how people will react to the same thing. Blake
That was to play, Blake, and it's not at all

But I agree that such things should be talked over first.
