[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The “self-advocate” stuff drives me bananas. Yes, of course we want to teach our children to do this but some teachers are frankly more receptive to this than others. It has been extremely frustrating to watch my child attempt in good faith to follow up with certain teachers to get feedback on why points were deducted (when it seemed to be an error) or when he could re-take a test, only to be given the runaround. The power dynamic between an adult teacher and a 12-year-old child is not exactly fair. MS grades are of some significance if a kid is hoping to apply for private school or walls. So yes, I keep on too of my kid’s grades and if there are scores that don’t add up, and I know he has already attempted to ask the teacher without success, I will reach out myself. [/quote] +1..I attribute it to everyone getting back acclimated. We have instructed DC to email and CC us with issues if there is no response in person. We won't have unnecessary running around that stresses a kid out. At this point, it seems like DC is actually babysitting teachers. [/quote]
