[quote=Anonymous][quote]OMG. A student asking if they can do an assignment on paper is hardly disrespectful or questioning every little thing they're asked to do. There's no indication that the child in the OP continued to be defiant, engage in an argument, or otherwise was in any way disrespectful. The parent merely asked why the child can't do math on paper! A good teacher would know that when a student understands the rationale, they're more likely to accept and follow. When they understand the rationale, they better understand the concept being taught and are better able to apply and move forward. Even a mediocre teacher should figure out that IF a student is being disrespectful (ie, arguing or refusing to comply), that explaining why is highly likely to end the dispute. So again, what's wrong with expecting the teacher to provide a reason? Asking "why" is not disrespectful. If a teacher (or parent) really doesn't want kids to question things, THAT's doing them a disservice for their futures lives.[/quote]

Show me where in this thread it says that the teacher did not provide an answer to the question. I'll wait....
