She wanted parent teacher conference because he just scribbled on paper instead of drawing real things. She was the problem child in her eyes.
Finally he got interested in learning. I gave him 30 minutes tutoring for about 2 days/week the past month and he is 180 degrees different. He sits down, writes his name, gets the colors inside, can read certain things, etc. It took 1.5 months for this change to happen.
Really, what is important is the potential. Classroom teachers often don't see this. You should give every child the chance to achieve the potential within, not be the judge. The process is the judge, not you.
+1, my kid does work at home but refused at his preschool as it was too easy and he was bored. They didn't figure out till 2/3 into the school year he was reading several grade levels ahead and just tricking them. I told them and they would not listen. He'd give them answers he read and they couldn't figure out how he knew so much... I was so proud of him and its sad he is so underestimated... I wish them luck next school year.
