[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I think you are being unreasonable and are doing your son no good here.  I'm sure your attitude about these issues is apparent to him, and that isn't helping anything.[/b]

Yes, a completely wrong answer should be marked "completely wrong" in sixth grade.  Your kid needs to pay attention, and learning to stop and read the instructions is part of the task.

Have your kid practice reading instructions to you and then explaining each part of what he is being asked to do to you.[/quote]

Why, yes, close reading skills and the ability to discern the requirements of a task have indeed gotten me "somewhere" in life, starting with a strong academic performance and Harvard admission.

I don't even want to speculate what your version of being "super aggressive and basically taking what I want" looks like, but I'm sure it isn't what I expect from my own child.  [/quote]
