[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It sounds like your kid is going in unprepared for the meetings with teachers.  i.e. is he saying "can you read my paper and tell me what to improve" or "can you explain this project to me" when the teacher likely went over it in class.  You kid needs to be going in "prepared" for these one on ones, i.e. say "I want to get feedback on my thesis and if you think my argument xx is properly supporting xxx" or "I am confused about this direction on the project, can you explain if you want me to do xx or xx for this portion."[/quote]

Got it. So a child new to the school works up the guts to ask for help, but if he doesn’t ask for help in just the right way, he is brushed off. He will have to self-teach science, and parents paying the bill are excluded from any involvement, transparency and communication. They are gaslit that if they actually want to know what’s going on and support their child that they are helicoptering or micromanaging. Why you folks pay for this nonsense is beyond me. The goal is for the student to learn and grow. Why put up all these made up roadblocks? [/quote]
