I am really glad that Gavin is now very happy to go to school. This is his third week at the nursery and he is no longer weeping. He will even wave happily to bid me goodbye. I am also glad for one more thing. His teacher. Who has so far only made constructive comments.
According to her, Gavin is progressing well generally but he needs to practice his handwriting more because he is still weak with the pencil. She gave me some tips of how to help him improve at home and concluded that we should however, give him more time as he is the youngest in the class.
Thank goodness she doesn’t try to fit a square peg into a round hole! I felt really relieved because her comments were valid and unlike those at that stupid Montessori, she isn’t judgemental at all. She accepts that some kids do have their limitations and just need a bit more help to overcome their obstacles.
We parents can really do with more teachers like her.
Hey..SS,
that’s really good to hear..! yup.. we could use more of this kinda teacher. for sure.

Amen to that!
Ophelia’s form teacher is a doormat. I worry because the kids and their parents walk all over her….
