did you ever notice that your child picks up bad behaviours from school?

My 4 year old son started Junior K in September. Ever since about the 2nd day, he has stopped using his manners (please and thank you, excuse me), stopped listening to what he is told, and stopped respecting people's belongings and space (stay out of your sisters' room!). That happened with each of the other 4 as well. What is it about school that makes that happen?

i have four children and they are all teens already and up to this point they still (sometimes) pick up bad behavior at school. it is our role as a parent to guide them. this is not an easy task for sometimes kids thinks that we are wrong for telling them to stop that attitude for they see it on other kids. when a child learns to or starts to go to school 80 percent of his behavior comes from what he sees in his environment outside the house. guidance is what we need to do and patience as well

easy; they pick it up from the other kids with them that aren't as well-mannered. Also, some schooling institutions aren't as strict in discipline as they should be so they let the kids off the hook with things that they shouldn't which you (the parent) have taught to stay away from doing, etc.. and they get used to the freedom and practice it at home as well. I have a four year old nephew that was already a naughty boy but once he started going to kindergarten he've been even worse
