Teachers are not experts on how kids learn. They are just experts on particular "methods," of varying degrees of wackiness, depending on the teacher training program they attended.
End of rant.
I am the expert regarding MY child. I used to feel that way when Butter was a baby, until I sent her out into the world. Now that we have removed her from the problem school, this is my mantra and I am remembering what it felt like before, to listen and really HEAR what my child was saying...YOU are the expert regarding YOUR child.
