[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would tell my kid to respond “ my mom said I couldn’t” because how the teacher responds to that would give a lot of information about whether they were just kidding or are trying to overstep boundaries. [/quote] She’d probably say “oh I was just kidding” because she obviously is and then she’d talk to her host teacher about “I didn’t realize the kids sometimes took things so literally.” Like I’m so sorry, you’ve never had someone jokingly say “Where’s mine?” when you walk in with a Starbucks drink? It’s a lame small talk joke. OP’s kid probably laughed or said something back the first time and the naive student teacher who just wants kids to like her thinks they have a joke now. [/quote] Right, but then the teacher would know to drop the joke and learn a bit about building rapport and how it can be misconstrued sometimes (I am a teacher FWIW)[/quote]
