[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You absolutely should care. Teachers will not give Ns in these areas unless your child is preventing the class and/or themselves from learning. These are the skills that the child will need their whole lifetime including in their professional life. Ignoring can set up your child for failure and low self esteem in the future.

Work with the teacher to find out what supports the school can offer and work with your child as well.  No amount of "being bored" prevents a child from being able to collaborate or have basic good work skills. [/quote]

OP here. We did have a parent teacher conference, but the teacher just complained about our kid and didn't really have any solutions (she was generally extremely negative, even when discussing the things our kid was good at, for example "she's doing well in math... for now.") We're trying to reinforce some stuff at home (for example, she gets upset and tantrums over minor things.) FWIW, we know that this teacher has a reputation for being strict and in the past, many kids have been moved out of her class. But yes, our kid can also be a handful. She's only 7, so hopefully, with some extra direction and increased maturity, things will improve a bit. We're definitely working on getting her the skills she needs to succeed in life, we're not ignoring the issues, my question was just how/if the school considers this information.[/quote]

I would follow up with a conversation with the principal if the teacher can only be negative and not constructive in an area where the teacher has identified a weakness for your child.[/quote]
