ALL.....

In Reply to: ALL little boys do that. They think it's funny. - I don't know why.
I had 3 brothers, and nothing but boys in the neighborhood for 5 blocks around me - I was the only girl - never saw anyone ever touch another boy's genital area.
It may a thing in your family, but not all boys do that.
Also, boys are not always slower in language and social skill development, etc. - that statement is a stereotype. Girls are not always stupid in Math and Science, either.
Speaking from experience, sometimes parents have personality clashes with teachers and they sometimes are very indisceet about what they say about the teacher, principal, school system, in front of their children - then want to blame the teacher when the child is disrespectful at school.
Yanking your child out of school because they were called into the principal's office, or don't like their teacher, or another kid in school, is short-sighted. As one of the previous posters wrote, kids need to learn coping skills. They need to get along with all types of personalities and with all types of situations.
What happens when these kids grow up and get a job with a boss they have "a personality conflict" with? Are they going to job hop throughout their entire life?
The most important thing kids learn in school is not Math, Geography or Science - it's to learn how the world works and how they can fit into it.
