Bluemagic, I'm sorry your son experienced this. My ds was crushed until we reminded him that he gets to choose, and reminded him of his successes. He's young but he's made tremendous growth.

I do not like to complain about teachers. They have one of the hardest, least appreciated jobs there is to have. But when one uses techniques like this one does, and perhaps she feels it's "tough love," and could potentially cause or exacerbate math anxiety, I think something should be said.
