[QUOTE="Allan-Matlem, post: 242482, member: 10"] Hi, Ross Greene says the philosophy 'Children do well if they can ' I am sure your child is motivated to do well . I have seen great turn-arounds when teachers have been able to reach kids , help them feel understood and address their concerns. in my humble opinion education is about a love for learning , enjoying the process and talk about taking responsibility and accountability is just to an easy ploy to ignore the contribution teachers and the whole educational philosophy and blame the kids. Kids don't have to be accountable and take responsibility. When teachers manage to kindle the candle , the flame will continue on its own , the kid will start taking responsibility for his education in the broadest sense of the word. Because learning is something interesting, stimulating and enjoyable. So what do I recommend - peer mentors- somebody 'on the job' to help your child , buddy-tutor , teachers focusing on the process and less on the results ,input from your child - if the classroom was more of a community instead of a competitive playing field , kids would be interested in supporting fellow students.
