Guess it depends on gender and character to be a good monitor.... I personally do not like my kids to take up the role cos they need to help teachers run around so will miss part of the lessons when they go off.... Might not have reliable friends to help keep them informed.

:hi5: we think alike.
Last year, FT assigned him to be rep for something...son told her, \"No, not keen\". Teacher called to inform me...had to explain to her that he took on such responsibility but when he returned to classroom, homework written on board was erased and he had no time to copy from someone else as it was time to go home. The other incident was bcos he missed the lesson while helping teacher to carry books to staff room.

Agree with both of ya. :celebrate:

What differentiates - actually in private sector now this is already true - between colleagues will be something else more than just paper qualifications. You know, the ooomph factor - be it leadership, initiative, high EQ, maturity and others (such as the ability to endure a scolding from boss and not take it to heart - this one my son has much training from me oredi ).

I believe these traits are part inborn, part groomed during childhood of which sch-life plays a big part. I don't mind if ds loses a few marks here and there if it means he gets to be trained in these areas.

FQW, that's why men and women are wired differently

Why be penalized for helping teacher carry books to staff room and return to class only to see homework erased ? Then he would have to call classmates to ask what he missed. In my opinion, it's a waste of time.

100% agrees!
One useful life skill here, how to refuse additional responsibility from teacher (boss) if you really cannot cope.... :politebleah:

My son told his teacher he will agree to be rep only if the homework written on board is not erased until the end of school day. His teacher agreed to his request.

Oh yes, he tells me 30 min of iPad games for 1 hour of work. If he needs to use toilet, extra 5 min.

I told him he is not training to be a lawyer. 2 hours of work in exchange for 30 min of iPad...take it or leave it.
