Hi

Hi again

I have been re reading your original post and wondered if it is the current teacher who was horrible and humilating your child, or is it a different one?  Has the teachers attitude changed, which has helped your son improve?

I cant help thinking that if the teacher has been making negative comments and having a go at him in  class all the time that its no wonder he wasnt working well in the classroom.

I strongly believe that if a school offers additional support, however, minor or major, that it should be looked at as a positive for your child.  Too many children are grouped together in the open forum and allowed to drift.  When a school offers help they have recognised that a child could do with some one to one help, which does make a dramatic difference.

Just keep making him proud

Well done. I'd be chuffed to bits if he were my child too.

thanks i can tell he's pleased with himself as he actually wants to learn something now, the other day we were doing the extra homework sheets he's been given and expected him to struggle with adding 2 digit numbers and he did them easily. just hope his teach keeps on being nice to him as it's been such a confidence boost knowing that his teacher is happy wqith him to.

This is a fantastic result, so well done to your son.

My sons first headteacher told me that it was more satisfying for her to see a child progress and better themselves, than reach the "expected target".  She said that if a child was, as in your case, was a 2c and progressed to 2a, that that was a better result than being a 2a and still a 2a at the end of the next year.  A child that moves up the grades means they have learnt, understood, and interested in what they have done. 

in the UK there is the motto that Every Child Matters, and this is a good example that the school has taken this motto on board and made your child matter.

I say Well done from me.  Heidih

on thursday my 7 yr old  ds's teacher came up to me and explained that he was going to be recieving extra homework from his special needs tutor (needs extra help in maths), in march he  told me he was lazy and never wanted to work, i asked his teacher how he was doing with maths and he said he was plaesed with him he'd done a y2 maths test (he's y3) and gained a 2a he was a 2c in march and he also said theyed done a full class assessment and he had'nt come bottom as expected. i'm so pleased he is making a little progress as his teacher has been so negative all year and it ended up with me telling him to stop calling him in class as it does nothing for a childs confidence and was expecting another run in.

kris is pleased that his teach is happy with him for a change as well and has been willing using maths at home eg adding up different coins which he has always refused to do.

sorry for going on but it seems like so long since anyone has anything positive to to say about him it feels so nice when it happens i just hope he can keep it up then he can either stay only 1 yr behind or even better catch up to his class
