[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]ITA with PPs. A teacher, no matter what grade she teaches, has all the tricks about how to get te LOs to clean up, help with chores and we can't forget THE KNOW HOW TO TEACH!!!!! just this weekend during superbowl my friend was getting all sweaty trying to explain to her 3yo how to put the shapes through a shape sorter for kindergartens. The kid was getting frustrated, the mom was getting angry and I was just watching.

While she was gone to pick up more chips [b]I quickly showed him what he was doing wrong and how it worked and when mom came back TA-DA! He was doing it!!!

Obviously, if any of you were humble enough to ask your "friend" sitting right by your side how to do it you'd have learned a new thing but no! She's a know-it-all and you'd rather suffer and get frustrated/angry towards your child than recognize that someone who's a FTM of a child younger than yours knows more about teaching children than you.

Hey-- as a former teacher myself, I would have preferred the child figure the sorter trick out on his own! That's really what those things are for![/quote]
