Actually, I feel that no teacher will be so free as to say something that's untrue about the child. It's just that children sometimes behave differently in front of teachers and parents. My sister is one of those parents who won't believe you if you say that her child had been naughty. In fact, she can't comprehend why anyone would use the word "naughty" on her child.
I am the first to ask the teacher if my child had been talkative or unattentive in class whenever there's meet-the-parents session. I feel that I'd rather discipline my child myself than wait for others to sigh and say,"This child, hopeless liao. Parent also one kind." I feel that it's important for me to build a rapport with the teacher, to let the teacher know that I support her. It will in turn benefit my child. I've seen children who despise teachers bcos of what their parents told them. These children never amount to anything in their studies. They already don't respect the teachers. How to do well?
But of course, if it's someone not close or unrelated to us, I'll evaluate if the comment is justified.
Like Wen, I attended this workshop for parents on the learning differences between a gal and a boy at my kid's school. The speaker was saying that the stricter the discipline, the more successful a boy will become when he grows up. So don't feel upset la. Discipline is good for the boy.
