My son's new second grade teacher says she's been having problems with my son Erik arguing with her, and not following directions. It's odd because at home and in other situations he never argues with me, and follows directions very well. He didn't seem to have any problems with arguing in first grade, although he did have some problems with getting upset easily. (He's very sensitive.) I though most kids are supposed to be angels for their teachers and act up at home. But not mine. Has anyone experienced similar problems?
Yep, that's my son to a T. He's good at home, but gets in trouble a lot in school.... i'm still trying to figure it out.... sorry I'm not much help....
Wondering, has he had alot of contacts with other adults being in charge? Sometimes I have seen when it happens ( I was a scout leader & coach for years ) is there weren't alot of non family adults in charge over them. So they sometimes have a harder time accepting that other adults can indeed tell them what to do, they deserve respect & you have to follow their direction. When they are getting older & learning independence, sometimes it is something that they fall out of. That another adult, non family, can be your boss.
Not sure if that is the case here, but I have seen that happen alot.
Yes, I was told this year (1st) he argue with his teacher, she said as if he wants to control the class. she is a young teacher and not as structure and organize as his last teacher (K5). He does not argue with us but when he knows something he takes a stand on it and want be persuaded. Great kid in behavior, loves helping. We are working with him on taking turns (he wants to always tell the answer or do everything) ad follow through on directions given.
my son fallen and he couldnt get up....
