on the third day, his teacher told me he was snatching things and hitting other kids. i told her to purnish him and that we're perfectly ok with time-out as long as he wasnt shamed. i also told her that he may need things to occupy him and that i'd be happy to provide materials (not that i have any ready) so that he wont be bored at school. we also talked to him at home. after that, he stopped hitting and snatching.
a week after the school started, his teacher spoke to me again. she said, as i told her before E (my son) knows alot of things and is very advanced (her words, not mine) and if it would be possible for me to stop teaching him at home. what she didnt understand was his maths understanding is around primary 2-3 level.
and no i cannot stop teaching him. after all, it is all him. the sums i give him always turn out too easy for him and not numerous enough. he usually write and do his own additions, multiplication. i dont even have time to check every single one. whatever intersts him he will just do and do and do. i did explain to her and she suggested he can bring a book of his choice to school.
more than 4 weeks have passed since that "talk", are the things getting better? i'm not sure..............
E is a smart boy. He need a special school.
ReplyDeletewah Win, E is really good in Maths. May suggest to the teacher to enrol him to the higher level since he can cope with it.
ReplyDeletei dont know leh, dont know what school i should send him to. and all i want is for him to be happy and be socially adjusted. his free time at school, we are still monitoring him and asking him questions about it - but its so hard to get anything out of him if he's not in the mood to talk.
ReplyDeletethe good news is he is starting to enjoy the school, and singing the songs they taught him and doing the actions at home - really acting like a preschooler. :-)
