Of course, frequent errors, or poor pedagogy, should be addressed; and homework should be a review of concepts learned, not left to the parents to explain to the child.   [b]But if a few minor mistakes are leading your child to melt down in frustration, your child probably has some learning issues going on that should be checked out.[[/b]/quote]

A parent should not have to explain a darn thing to the child if you are doing your job right, i.e. not sending home error-ridden worksheets.  By the way? The bolded? That's illegal for you to say to a parent as a teacher. I suggest you never say that to a parent of a child you teach. You are not a doctor, you are a teacher. You are not a psychologist, you are a teacher. You don't get to diagnose; you are not trained to do so. Learn your place.[/quote]

Sorry, a teacher has every legal right, indeed has a moral responsibility, to suggest to a parent that his or her child has a learning issue that should be investigated.  A possible learning problem is not a medical diagnosis.  It is a teacher's place indeed to bring this concern up to a parent or to a school referral team![/quote]
