It is clearly her way of dealing with problems by putting a label on each one. Hasn't she ever heard the rumour that human beings are individuals with unique talents. What is she doing concentrating on your son's negative labels when she shouls be looking towards his abilities and building on those? I wonder if the concept of self confidence' is something she has heard of. It seems she is doing her level best to knock it out of you and your son. What fantastic news about the new teacher - now he should be able to encourage your son to perform to the best of his abilities instead of 'performing to label'. Best of luck, Marie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
