[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You need to work w your son on being respectful to all his teachers. It’s not ok to “take advantage” even if he has a teacher who is inexperienced or not strict enough or not engaging enough or whatever. It sounds like he has a problem w respecting teachers and rules. If his teachers haven’t so far been successful teaching him this respect then you need to emphasize and practice it even more w your son at home. I think the teachers should be more strict and more engaging but you can’t control them so you’re not going to change them or their teaching style/methods. You can only take it upon yourself to teach your son to be respectful of his teachers and of school rules.

This is not a teacher or school culture (“progressive in nature” school) problem, it’s a problem w your son.

He’s young enough that you have time to fix this problem. But don’t rely on or expect school to do it for you. Or pull him out and put him in a stricter, more structured school.

And next time you request a meeting w teacher(s)/admin, don’t take no for an answer. Follow through and meet w them but when you meet w them listen to what they have to say. Make it a meeting where you are just trying to understand and appreciate things from their perspective. Not a meeting where you’re defending your son or offering your opinion. A meeting where you listen and ask them what they would like you to do to help.[/quote]

OP here. this is great advice. thank you.[/quote]
