Sounds like me :)  When I was 6, very often I would not do my work because I thought it is too complicated for me. Once I saw a really hairy dog before I went to school and the same say the teacher asked us to make a dog with play-doo. I could not imagine how to make all the little hairs with play doh so I refused to do my work! It took a while until my mom understood that I think too much detail so she taught me to think global.\n\nIt could be several reasons: she doesn't understand what the teacher wants from her, or she thinks she could never do it so she better won't start working on it. Or that she is living in dreamland and she doesn't listen to what the teacher tells her.\n\nAsk her clearly what did she have to do and why didn't she do it. Maybe, if you can, go and assist in the classroom with her and watch how she acts in the classroom would help you encourage her in doing what the teacher asks her.\n\nThis is what my mom did and it worked. I made it to college!

I would suggest tutoring as well.  It's possible that he had trouble with some sort of concept, then fell further and further behind, which may have contributed to his stubbornness and laziness.  \n\nPrivate schooling isn't necessarily better, but some one on one attention might help him out to make sure he's comprehending what he is learning in class.

I have a son who still experiences motor skill delays at 7 after being a preemie.  He was in a Montessori-styled program at 4, and it was a disaster!  He needs more structure, more firmly consistently administered discipline and more clearly communicated expectations.  After sending him back to a more traditionally styled preschool, he is in First Grade this year and doing wonderfully.  Don't hesitate to hold him back a year starting Kindergarten.  So many parents are doing it in response to the high expectations placed on Kindergartners.\n\nIt sounds like all your son is doing wrong is being 3. Boys that age do not sit still well, do not complete tasks, and do not communicate as well as girls do at that age.  I also have one that age, so know what is now, and what will be later.

Hire someone or homeschool her at night and on your days off.  If you hire a babysitter for the daytime then have the baby sitter go over the workbooks that you use for homeschooling. That could be the time that she does homework or even have the babysitter teach her. Thats a good job for a college student and most would be free some times of the day. She could help you educate. It would be good for an education major.

Ok, first off, kids are with their parents all the time, and do things all the time, and get tired of it. Kids who really like to work really like to spread their help around, and not just towads the parents. IF you feel she is responsable enough, sure, let her have a job. BUT! She needs to do it like everyeone else. She needs to start at the bottom, and work her way up. Just because she is a kid, does not mean she gets any special treatment. Now if she is not responsable enough, she probably shouldn't have a responsability like that. Keep her to doing things you are most comfortable with. I mean, who is the parent, and who is the child? It is all up to you!

talk to your mom and have her speak to the teacher...this teacher may need some anger-management classes or something.\n\nor, you could write a friendly little letter to her and leave it in her mailbox...:\n\ndear ms. -----\n\ni understand that teaching must be a very hard job and i hope that i am not causing you any more stress or further problems.  i have to tell you that i am a bit concerned because you seem to scold me a great deal.  i am not even sure what i am doing wrong.  could we please sit down and talk to each other about what i am doing that might be bothering you?  i really don't want to bother you and it makes me upset when you scold me.\n\nthank you -

You can give it another try.  In some cases, the teacher is the problem.  Maybe with any luck the new teacher will help her out, instead of working against her

Short sessions - 5 minutes & walk away for 5 - 10 minutes.\nPatience.\nRepetative lessons.\nVisual aides - counting? lay out money on table to work with.\nMake sure he/she repeats back what you've said.\nMake eye contact.\nRemove distractions - pets, other kids, noise.\nNever show your frustration! This only tells the child he's a pain & not worthy of help.\nNo yelling or raising your voice. This cuts an ADD kid deeper than you'll ever know & sticks w/ them a long time!\nWhen you've finished a chapter, go back & do a quick refresher the next week. Just to cement the lesson.\nRemember, ADD kids have approximately a 5 minute attention span, so technically they only retain 40% of what you teach. If you think that's frustrating for you, think about how they feel!

Well if you think she's failing you all on purpose go talk to the principal.  If you can reason with her, ask her if you can do extra credit or what you can do to pull your grade up.  Better yet, ask her if she can tutor you.  Teachers hate when they have to do extra work and maybe she will take it easy on you guys.

He's trying to find a way to motivate your daughter by removing what she values which is her visits with you or he believes her visits with you are a bad influence and her grades are dropping. You have parental rights that you can enforce but you must do it in such a way that places your daughter's interests above  your own. If she can't see you then perhaps you can call each other and you can try to help her with her homework. The seperation is obviously difficult on her. Send her cards and things that you think would be helpful to her in school so that she gets the silent message from you that you believe her education is important. It can be simple things like pens, paper, pencils, cute erasers or pencil supports, agenda books, homework calendars, index cards with a note that they are for vocabulary & spelling. Also send her reaffirming cards. Since she isn't with you ; you have to do things to let her know you are thinking of her always. Saying you are isn't enough. Send perfume, lip gloss, deoderant. Don't wait for her to ask or tell you what she needs. Send her a charm and a note that says "everytime you wear this ; remember that I believe in you". Sometimes that's all it takes. I think your ex is trying to do the best thing for her but he is encroaching on your rights.

They may find it hard to make friends, concentrate, may be defiant to teachers, won't do homework/ may be disrupptive to the class. May not eat lunch or breakfast and generally seem sad and withdrawn. \nOh, that's sad, I hope your little one or whomever's will be okay.\nCommunication and recreationa are the key. \nI encourage my daughter to say a secret prayer in her heart while she is going through something.

Go and talk to the teacher. Find out what the situation is and what can be done to help it. If the situation is simply the teacher then talk to the principle, or have your child moved to a different english class.

This is unfortunate from your perspective, but there isn't anything you can do about it.  In public schools, teachers are backed by a powerful union, and tenured teachers are impossible to get rid of (even child molestation often is hard to remove a teacher for unless there is really hard and convincing proof).  In the private schools, it's considerably easier, but again is unlikely.  \n\nThe bad news is this is a chance for your child to learn to work with hard-to-work-with people.  There are many scatterbrained people among us in real life, and this is probably no exception.  \n\nFurther, this is NOT that uncommon.  Many variables go into the dates for assignments and tests, and teachers often are forced ot make changes at the last minute to accommodate something else.  Graded work often goes into the pile and is graded as he or she gets time to do it.  At the middle school or high school level, this teacher probably has to support 150+ students each day, and in English, especially (if this is an English teacher) the paperload is enormous.   This is why many math teachers have gone to grading work on a "check" basis (going around the classroom, seeing it's done, then checking it off as being done), then grading it in class.  This is because for math you HAVE to have immediate feedback, whereas in other classes it doesn't really matter if you get immediate feedback or not (it's NICE, but it won't hurt you in later assignments).  With regard to missing assignments...often I have found that it is the student who forgets (but not always).  I learned after I developed a "check-in" system where I checked off the work as it was put into the basket that often the students who'd swear I lost their work...never really turned it in, and assumed that since they couldn't find it, they turned it in!\n\nTeachers often do not return phonecalls and e-mails because they either don't get the messages or do not have time to call or write.  They, like you, often do not want to work any more than they have to at home, and usually this means their full day plus several hours at night...so there really isn't time to return calls.  Personal issues that crop up are hard to deal with when you're teaching because you can't even get to a phone for most of the day (unlike the average job of anyone else with a college degree, where you can go to the bathroom when you need to...usually...and pick up the phone and make a quick five-minute call when you need to).\n\nThis is also why I stopped teaching.  It IS that difficult to have a life and do your best to support the kids.  It was EITHER be a person myself OR be everything for the kids.  After several years of being a 24/7 teacher, I burned out and had to recareer.  Tenured teachers, I've seen, have come up with interesting strategies to deal with the stress.  Some of those strategies, sadly, include ignoring the parents.  This isn't PERSONAL, but it's one of the ways they can cope with the emotional demands of being a teacher (much less the paperload).\n\nSo, let's come back to what you can do, now that you see more about her perspective and the fact that you won't REALLY be able to do anything.  The best way you can help is to ask her what she needs from YOU to help your child.  There's always something you can do, too, and asking this way means you are not the enemy.\n\nIn the meantime, the only one that can help HER with new strategies is another teacher she respects.  If you have a good rapport with one of the other teachers in her area, talk to that teacher.  Tell that person you're concerned because this teacher seems really stressed and may be losing papers.  She's having trouble with paperload.  Maybe she needs some help?  Would she maybe be open to having volunteers in her classroom or finding other ways to deal with paperload?  By showing that you do care about the teacher, too, you will probably

Suggest that you can help them with their school work and keep it to one hour each week.  Spend half an hour helping them with the grammar on their papers and to make them more understandable.  Spend the other half hour conversing in Japanese or doing some exercizes in a book.\n\nYou need to keep it to an hour to avoid taking up too much of their time so they will continue to do it.  \n\nWhy did she tell you she's working on midterms?  Most schools in the US are just about to finish their semesters.  Where are you?

Hi Vashes,\n\nChildren of quite a young age cannot be dealt with force. \nYour daughter needs to start giving respect to her school and studies. This kind of discipline does not sprout all of a sudden. Your child will generally follow your example. Maintain a disciplined decorum in your home. Things like "get up at 6", " Fold your bedspread", "Brush your teeth", "Place your brush in the stand", "eat at the dining table", "study at your study table", etc should be slowly inculcated in her. You should give her own private space where she can maintain her things and also study. This kind of ambience would influence the kid and would help her respect her school and studies. Link her performance with rewards like " a trip to the amusement park", "holiday in a farm", etc. Its a slow process and instead of commanding her to do all these things, estabilish it to her that its her responsibilty to take care of these things.\n\nRegards\nVj

I'm not a parent, but I am a teacher and tutor.  If you spend 1-2 hours a day twice a week and work on basic skills with your child I guarantee some growth.  Repetition, repetition, repetition!\n\nI would go to a "teacher store" and buy some basic work books.  Use plastic sheet covers or transparency sheet and dry erase markers so they can use the books over and over again.  \n\nUse index cards joined with a binder ring for flash cards (vocabulary and math).\n\nDon't let a video or game be your child's teacher.  I think you can spare 2 hours a week.  It'll benefit your child in two ways (quality time and educational growth).

get him to start telling you when he goes to the bathroom and change him immediatly, get him used to the idea of being clean and dry, let him run around without his diaper for a day and when he has to go have him go in training potty in the hall way out side the bathroom door. let him go into the bathroom when you go and make a big deal about yourself going and have him cheer you on. make it fun and not stresfull. he is probably trying to assert some control in one of the only ways he can by not going. so dont lecture him or tease him or god forbid force or punish him. this is going to take allot of time and patience and you may be in over your head you can seek out some occupational therapists in your area, the school system employs some, and you may be able to get some information from the head start program. good luck I hope this helps you
