[quote=Anonymous]My kid is a bit quirky and slow to warm up to people and can be shy to the point of doing awkward things because of it - so yeah traditional older teachers usually weren’t his fans. I tried to make up for it by being extra likeable and fulfilling every request and giving gift cards but I know at least one instance where it didn’t work and I had no idea he was sent to the office for minor infractions. He is now in middle school and much more broken in in terms of school, keeps to himself, so this isn’t much of a problem anymore. From time to time a traditional teacher is surprised why he isn’t motivated enough in his class - I don’t know what to tell them except I will talk to him. I know he needs to put in his best effort but he is not an automaton and he works better for some teachers than others. He has had a few teachers and coaches, usually male, who really got him and I was always grateful. But most often I think he is just one of many - no particular emotion toward him which is fine by me. [/quote]
