Bad Behavior in School

My 6 year old daughter is not behaving in school at all. I have posted here before and I was adviced to get the SOS help for the parents book which I did and I am following it very honestly. Her behavior has improved at home, but in school she is the same. She is in kindergarten and they have this behavior chart which they send home everyday, if it has a happy face stamp that means the child behaved well other wise there is a note from the teacher which tells the parents what the problem was, she gets a note at least 3 times a week and it always says one thing, not following directions or talking during instructions. I have discussed it with her so many times that I cant even count on my fingers if I want to. every morning before she gets on the bus I tell her remember the rules you have to stay quite you have to listen to the teacher she says yes she understands but its almost like as soon as she gets to school she forgets everything. Now she is starting this thing in the morning that she dont want to go to school becaue she will get a note, I dont know what to do, I am trying so hard to do everything right for her. But she is like a brick wall which I can go throught. Please advice something. Thank you so much.

i want you to know that i am in the exact same boat as u behavior chart and all.my daughter is so into what everyone else in the class is doing or making sure everyone knows what she is doing that she cant for one minute sit down and do her work.every day we discuss it and at 6 years old she tells me that it isnt her the teacher just blanes her for everything.i have tried several different tactics to work her through this and the teacher has even told me the next step is having her see the guidance councelor weekly..at 6 years old is this something that is necessary???but i honeestly amtaking whatever advice i can get because all my methoda have compleyelt failed..do u have issues with her behavior at home???my biggest thing is attitude and talking back with my daughter its outrageous!!!

Do you overpraise her when she doesnt get the notes? If she notices that you are praising her for the positive and not punishing her for the negative then she may turn her problems around at school. Its really hard to say though, too, because it seems to me that the teacher may be concentrating on the problems more than recognizing your daughter when she is paying attention and following directions. I dont know enough of the details to be able to tell you what else to do at this point.
