He was working...Hey my son told me the same thing. He was working on his math revisions during his free time, whilst the rest were playing and chatting.<br /><br />On my end, I find teachers have no time for the kids in class. They don't motivate, they pressure, more so than the parents. Teachers today are required to show results. My son's math teacher told the class, if you do not score 85 and above I will call your parents. My boy felt the pressure but don't know why when his scores are often 85 and above. But he felt threatened. <br /><br />At least that did not happen in your kid's school. But because the child has an independent streak, keep telling them they are brilliant. Even the most difficult math problem can be solved, and we mothers need not bother our brain cells. <br /><br />Sometimes I play dumb, or maybe really am dumb, because their math is different from past. Reading the question itself gives me a headache. <br /><br />Try it,let the kid cope on their own ability and they will enjoy their subjects too. We just need to provide some directions. Teachers today can only or willing to do so much. I had to tell my son, teachers have too many to take of, so you had better help yourself too. <br /><br />Been to see the Principal,it doesn't help, its the institution.Gaiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15069503364553279367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1380704217571602849.post-50138339035940928632009-08-27T23:57:15.964-07:002009-08-27T23:57:15.964-07:00That's terrible, I can understand your anger. ...That's terrible, I can understand your anger. Not all teachers have the right mix of patience and empathy. I have heard enough through the years various complaints from the kids (still coming from the oldest) about teachers who don't listen and make assumptions. You're right you can't confront them too. What I do do, is take the opportunity during the Parent-teacheer meetings to size up the teacher in question and make the relevant point to them about the enormous amount of time they get spend with my children and how important their attention and words can make a difference. (hint hint and some reverse psychology to remind them of their duty which is the 'busy schedule').A Mother Alwayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13061214919572800420noreply@blogger.com
