[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wouldn't talk to the teacher. This is the perfect opportunity for your son to self-advocate. If he was truly denied something he was promised he should have another conversation with the teacher. Chances are he knows exactly what happened and his part in it. [/quote] Self-advocacy is fine for some kids. But not all cultures raise kids to talk back to and challenge adults. I remember as a kid at 12--it was very difficult to come back at a teacher about anything. Especially if the teacher was a bully. Why should we just expect kids to challenge a teacher on things like this? And when they get shut down repeatedly as I did, they'll just resent everything about school. Be a parent--advocate for your 12 year old, ffs. You have to ask this here? I bet there are bullying teachers on this thread, softening the opposition.[/quote]
