| The Teaching Forum :: Ask us a Question! |

Teaching :: A great pleasure in teaching is receiving as much or more of an education as one provides to students. While teaching is a very general theme, this forum will be more specific to those commenting on both formal and informal instruction: the field of education. Topics are welcome such as asking for advice, commenting on teachers you have or have had, a discussion about educational systems, teaching methods, or even things like teaching in a particular subject area. With teachers, think 'students' as well! Ok, let's put on our 'thinking caps' and... Ask us a Question!

| Could reading music count as reading? |
Posted by boomerang on May, 14. :: 12 Comments
Wednesdays are hectic around here. Mo goes to music class and reads and plays music with his teacher for an hour every Wednesday.
Getting him to do his first grade reading homework is always a problem on Wednesdays.
I've been thinking of having him write down the title of the drumming music book they use as his homework reading but I don't want to get him in trouble.
If you are/were a teacher or you can think like a teacher would "Syncopation for the modern drummer" count as reading?
Thanks!

| Next question: The absentee teacher. |
Posted by boomerang on April, 09. :: 17 Comments
As some of you know I'm investigating several options regarding Mo (my son, for those of you just joining my saga) behavior.
My next question concerns his absentee teacher.
His teacher is only there four days a week with a different teacher every Friday. This is on a good week. It is not unusual for her to miss another 3 or 4 days a month. This week she was there on Monday and Tuesday, missed today, won't be there tomorrow and there is no school on Friday.
Let's just say Mo deals with a lot of substitutes.
And Mo does not deal well with change of any kind.
I haven't complained about the teacher's attendance because I like her, I think she's a good teacher, and I don't know why she misses so much -- maybe she's sick, maybe she has a kid who is sick, maybe, maybe, maybe.... I like to give people the benefit of the doubt but......
Anyway.....
Could having an unpredictable teacher create problems for a child who is resitant to change? (He has reasons to be resistant. I'm not making this up.)
Would I be out of line to set up a meeting with the school's principal to discuss this in hope of making sure I don't end up in the same situation next year?
Am I over-reacting?
