Case: "bored" student
A kindergarten teacher has a student who is performing above grade level in all subjects. The student is reading on a second grade reading level. Even though the student is being challenged daily with advanced assignments. She continues to want do what she wants to do and not what her teachers ask her to do. Her mom continues to use the excuse that she is "bored" for any time that she breaks a rule or does not follow the teacher's directions. How can the teacher explain to the mom that her bad behavior has nothing to do with her being bored? It is very apparent that this child is extremely spoiled.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Like I am always told "Document, document, document" I know that every teacher wants to sit those parents down and say the magic words, "Stop spoiling your child she is turning into a brat." I have invited the parent to watch the student without the student knowing. One year the parent got so bad as to say that I was to blame, so I went to the principal and she observed for a couple of days and saw what I did and was able to back me up in the next parent/teacher conference. We will always have these types of parents that feel their child is above the rest in all areas and with documentation and support most of the time we can bring the parents down to reality that their child is only human. |
