[quote=Anonymous]DC is struggling to get help in a HS math class. DC is prone to anxiety, particularly in math, but shown some growth in getting out of their comfort zone in asking for help from the teacher. My question is what advice would you give to get help from a teacher who, when asked how to do a problem, says things like "I already explained that" or "maybe this is not the right math class for you" instead of answering the question. This apparently been said to multiple kids, not just mine. Strict or tough teachers are part of life and I've discussed that with my DC along with giving some advice. But personally (not discussed with DC, mainly just venting here) I feel that this type of response is unusually harsh, does nothing to help my kid learn, has increased DC's anxiety around math, and discouraged DC from asking for much needed help. DC can't switch teachers for the rest of the year unfortunately. I haven't reached out to the teacher nor do I really want to as I'd like to let DC learn how to handle this. Any advice I could give DC?[/quote]
