I do think that it's sometimes tough to recognize learning issues that might be contributing to behavioral issues in school, and it's sad when those problems aren't recognized until "later." That being said, I doubt that situation applies to most kids. I applaud the broken LP!Brian DiGiovannihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12474145620722123181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8015864063719848441.post-3724304146780575082010-05-06T12:06:02.475-07:002010-05-06T12:06:02.475-07:00I totally agree, Brian.

Matthew said, "I just wish I didn't have to listen to teachers. I don't want to follow their directions. They have too many rules." Broken record mommy (that's me), chimed in with "Teachers have rules and give directions so that you can learn and be safe while you are at school. It is your job while you are at school to listen and follow directions." Repeat ad tedium...<br /><br />I understand some parents think that telling their children to blindly follow the teachers will make them followers, or lemmings, or whatever. I disagree. Elementary school students don't rule the world for a reason. There is plenty of time when they are older to teach them which rules are hard and which are soft.MLC7799https://www.blogger.com/profile/15720238199892236394noreply@blogger.com
