How many kids like out of control classroom with yelling/harsh punitive adults?
There are good teachers and bad teachers. And some in between. I have seen DD do amazing work with some teachers and see deficits with others who were not as good, for reasons I couldn't document. There are different styles. A child can develop different ways of looking at things from different teachers and can also learn some other things that you may not consider.
You try and pick up the slack. For some reason, DD's researching skills have dropped off. And she is slacking. I got a Reading Dectective workbook and am making her do it and go through it, because of the sloppiness. (came up in the Parent/teacher conference that there was lack of motivation) The kid is getting lazy being at the top with little work but the little work is getting smaller. But her ELA test results were not good because of the slacking. I am hoping it is a wake up call. I didn't expect this kind of slacking already.
