My DS9 always gets his homework done on time and often does it without my asking him to do it. This past week I met with his gifted teacher. She told me that she knows he's capable but he's a bit lazy and sometimes just does the bare minimum.
Her comment really bothers me, especially coming from the gifted teacher. I don't believe children are lazy but rather there are other reasons for the behavior. I don't think labeling a child's behavior as laziness is helpful.
Has anyone had success with changing a teacher's perception of their child as "lazy"? If so what did you do? I'm open to any other comments on the subject of "lazy" gifted kids.
She's the only gifted teacher in the school so DS is going to have her again next year.
