The teacher parent conference went well for my son last night. She said everything I was expecting including these words.....shy, introvert, sweet, mature, holds back, very bright, happy, participates, ahead, and fine. All good things. My concern is how the teacher must spend so much time dealing with the, shall we say, "loud" kids who commandeer all of the attention with misbehaving which results in the well behaved, shy and quiet kids getting overlooked and ignored. I am afraid that in life, this is how its always been, and this is how it always will be. However, Kindergarten isn't "life" yet. Its freaking kindergarten. I don't care if the class has 14 boys and 9 girls and only one teacher. I don't care if about five of the boys are "loud" boys. Don't you EVER overlook my son because he is quiet and well behaved. Ok. Just had to say it. Just had to stand up for the all the quiet kids out there. I feel better now.
You tell her, Lulu. *hugs* |
funny how kindergarten behavior gets reflected into business operating behaviors. The folks that get noticed by "management/teachers" are those that cause the trouble. In business the ones that can fix the problems they created get noticed. The ones that avoid the problems are almost never noticed. I've pointed that out to executives more than once and they never realized that. Their view is that the ones avoiding the problems didn't have difficult projects! Maybe that was a learned behavior that started in kindergarten! Who knows |
I know exactly how you feel. [[lulu]] |
I'm glad your son is doing well. Kindergarten is such a big step! As a teacher I gotta say it's easier said than done ignoring the "loud" boys. Did she say she was ignoring your son? I feel guilty ALL the time that I'm not meeting the needs of all my students. I'm writing report cards now and I meet parents soon. Maybe I'm just being sensitive. Hope you are doing well. |
