Last week I wrote a post about how parents can confuse their children. Then I started thinking about how teachers and school administrators can do their parts as well. We can all work together to make sure no child is left thinking the world makes sense.
Here's a test to see how well you are doing. Each of these items is worth ten points, with a few extra credit opportunities:
- Punish him for something that is completely beyond his control, like being late for school because of traffic or because his mother overslept.
- Make a really big deal about how important it is for kids to get physical activity, and then force him to sit still for 95% of the school day. *extra credit for giving excessive homework, leading to more forced sitting: 1 point for each hour
