You are blesssed with a wonderful DS :love:

Ya, I will melt if my son say this to me too :love:
I am really impressed by Chenonceau, on her conscious effort (or strategy?) in exhibiting certain behaviour for some desire outcomes, at the most appropriate time. I am just too impatience to stay cool and calm ...[/quote]Hey... this is a nice thing to say. Thank you so much!! :love:

All sounded so familiar… My child is in P6, an extremely important year. It has come a long way for him. He also had countless encounters with teachers in school, esp. with anyone that has anything to do with chinese subjects. He always feels that the teachers just like to pick on him. Tell me, why would a child feel this way? I’m not in school, so he should know better. Recently, I even saw the teacher had his behavior posted online FOR DAYS where many people would be reading. That online page is actually meant for homework update. But a list of a-f consisting of my child’s behavior, was put up. What’s the purpose for doing that? My son found it so embarrassing. Worst of all, most of the items mentioned not done/submitted (such as corrections and homework) were actually all marked and returned days before the postings. I thought the teacher should have a better way to inform me, the parent, if she feels he is not behaving. My friends encourage me to storm to school to clarify her intention. I decided not to utter a word. I told my son, as long as you know you had done the work, leave it. As for his behavior in class, my son was so upset that the teacher only penalized him alone online, and not his other classmates. I told him I didn’'t understand, too, as I was not there. I think the teacher should know better. That posting was removed later, even though I didn’t talk to the teacher. I’m not interested to find out why did she have it removed. Teachers even questioned my child’s ability of getting into society when he grows up!! I told my child - Prove your teacher WRONG!!!

Thank you Sunny! The most memorable thing he ever said to me was when he was 3 and we were playing an analogy game with \" I love you as much as...\" He actually said \"I love you as much as there are rain drops in the sky.\" I am sure most mommies have one or two such memories. This one was mine.

Oh my... that is awful. I too would have felt very angry at the Teacher.

:udawoman:[/quote]No lah... it's not me... all babies love their Mommies that way, it's whether they know how to express or not.

For forgetfulness, I think starting up a TODO/TOBRING booklet helps. I make my child write what is required to bring to school...bring home and what is todo in school and todo at home from school. The brain has limited capacity, why stretch it the wrong way?

Yup! Teacher suggested that so we're gonna try that out.

I thought all schools practice using a school handbook for every kids since p1. it is like their personal organizer. They copy down all the instructions for the day, homework/stuff to bring/ etc. Also for teacher and parents to communicate with each other. Problem arises only when the kid do not have the discipline to record down.
