  Case: Writing Numbers and Letters Backwards
Mrs. Allen is a Kindergarten teacher and she notices that a student in her class writes many of his letters and numbers backwards. Mrs. Allen knows (or assumes) what he means on his work, but she fears that this will become a greater concern later in his educational career. Is this a common occurrence, or should she be concerned?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I think it would be good for Mrs. Allen to hold her concern, but just keep an eye on the student's progress. Also she should notify the student's parents so they may be aware of the situation in order to further keep an eye on how their child performs.

Comments: I would definitely make not of it and speak with the parents. It may just be the student still learning, but if it seems to start occurring more often, it will be a huge concern.

Comments: I agree. This would be helpful to keep an eye on the situation, but I think the teacher should start to notify different people that interact with the student on a daily basis to keep an eye on him as well.
