child crying in school

Hi all,

I currently started my son to a local Cantonese speaking nursery (2-3 yrs). Since it's his first days I had to accompany him and was the only parent in there.
There was a boy in the classroom who only speaks Engllish and he cries throughout the lesson. Thou, every time he cries, the teacher puts her hand infront of his face and said "Tommy, NO!" which made him cry more and when he goes to the toilet, he cries even more, but the teacher, having to look after 10 other kids, would only tell him to stop cryinging and ignore why or how he feels..
I was quite upset seeing that and hope that the parent could by notified about this, which i doubt they would be.

I think it's important when choosing a kindy, to find out how the teachers actually conduct their lessons and what would they do if a child cries.. I know it's hard but if the teacher don't understand how kids feel, it would only do them more harm than good to go.


I thnk international schools have less of these problems.
