[quote=\"SPI\"]Thanks you are fast. Very frustrating to hear teachers complaining about him day dreaming, and only listen to half instructions given. But he is not the high score student. :stupid:

How old is he now? In primary school?

SPI:

Talk to DS teachers and know that he is always not paying attention in class but never disturb others. He will do most of his homework (will forget like 1-2times in a month sometimes.) and do OK with his exam even without tuition. He reads alot can finish 2-3 books in a day if he want. Check with DS and he told me that although he might look like not paying attention but he actually knows what is happeneding. :x . Any parent here with kids like that? I am having problem because teachers will always think that he is day dreaming and when he goes up to higher level he might have problem catching up.


What can I do to help. Cause he is in school and not much I can do.

Forget to say he is like that since 18mth old. Teacher teaching can he can be playing at one corner but knows what is being taught. :roll:

I would think so as you seems to be very creative. :lol:

:oops: :oops: I am a bad student, backside sharp sharp...cannot sit still and find training progress slow because they have to be commercially viable. Actually when I want to scold my kid, I always have to ask myself \"eh, am I or was I like that?\" :? Then I decide how to scold.. :rotflmao:

[quote=\"tamarind\"]Some kids prefer to learn by themselves. They feel extremely bored listening to the teachers.

Sounds like me leh....I dislike attending training at work....especially those that I can pick up on my own much faster.

Wow spi, if he is like that, dont have to worry, can multi-task...a lot of kids nowadays are different from our generation I find, they can watch tv, talk on the phone and still do homework quite reasonably, last time if I talk on the phone, I cant watch tv etc, maybe it is something to do with them being the internet generation, a lot of things going on- chatting with friends, watching youtube and researching project..

I think some children esp nowadays process information differently

mrswongtuition:

I had a student who was very bright but did not get very good grades as he was 'not paying attention' in class. What I did was to give him a set of worksheets which have notes and scaffolding. The notes are in point form and provide basic instructions followed by activities related to the notes. Once he completes the basic set (usually within 15-20minutes), I will give him another set of worksheets that are more challenging. Once he's challenged, he was more interested in the lesson.


He would still complete the regular homework that everyone else has to complete but he gets something extra to help him. In the end, he topped the class and his parents were amazed as they constant recieved the complaint that 'he was not paying attention in class, always daydreaming'.
