Home | How It Works | Stats Login | Register         Case: No Challenges, Please I recently spoke to a parent about her child's behavior. Her response was that maybe her son was being challenged too much academically, and I need to gave him some easier assignments. She thought that easier assignments would help her child behave better. This child is one of the highest children in my class, and all of his assignments are based off of his formative and informative assessments. Any suggestions as to how I can get this parent to see my point of view? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I am only speaking to this as a parent. My daughter's teacher has told me that she is one of the highest children in her class and needs to be challenged and wants to keep pushing her with her writing. I appreciate that. But when my daughter gets home she is completely exhausted and is not a child that will lay down and rest. She is just wild! I was convinced that she behaved the same way in school. I recently spent three weeks in her class completing a clinical experience and watched my child behave perfectly. I went to the teacher and asked her if that is the way she always acts and she said yes. I knew my daughter was mentally exhausted at home. I have asked her teacher to send home books that were not as challenging for her to practice because she had expelled so much energy at school. It might be worth giving it a try to see how things go for a day. I wouldn't change things for more than a day though. I would think you would see a difference pretty quickly.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: That's great advice!

It might not be the worst thing to give the student some assignments that are not so challenging and see the what the results are.
