 | I have read all of the post and agree with just about everything in here. I am also having problems with my son. We had him in pre-school and her performed wonderfully, to my amazement. He is a true boy when it comes to his nature and I was excited to see how well he performed in pre-school. Then we started kindergarten.
He refuses to cooperate with the class on assignments that do not make him happy and therefore the teacher has become frustrated. She wants to put him a T-1 class for next year, but I hesitate to allow that. She blames it on the fact that he is a young 5 and he needs to mature a little more.
After seeing the difference between the teaching styles, I want to blame the teacher. The pre-school that we had attended was a private school and had a lot of religious beliefs in the teaching. The teacher was a young energetic teacher that really got involved with the class. Now we have moved to a public school and a teacher of 20+ years. I'm sure she knows a lot, but she also has become sterner in her teaching, and I just think he does not like her and does not want to be around her.
I have done all that I know to teach him respect for his peers, but this one just isn’t working. I have disagreed with his teacher and have requested that they allow my son to move up to 1st grade. She is very upset with my decision, but my theory is if it is true and he doesn’t appear to be ready for that transition than he can re-due first grade, but don’t hold him back into a class with a bunch of other kids that have the same bad attitude for learning and expect him to all of the sudden say “WOW, School is fun!”
A lot of people in here have mention ADD and other problems that their children are having and how they are trying to handle them. I have never taken any of my kids to a psychologist and don’t plan on it either. I am not a religious person by any means, but I have allowed myself to attend a class with my wife called “Growing Kids Gods Way”. This is an AWESOME class that you should actually look into. I don’t follow all of the guidelines that they instill in using the scripture with raising your children, but they do show a lot of great examples of how to raise your child so that they have respect for others.
Thanks for your time in reading my post, and I’m not looking out to upset anyone to tell someone what to do. I’m only showing you my path and letting you know about my experiences. Thanks! |
