I can see your point about "the way the student submits to the teachers'authority", though that would be more of a concern if the mom were to tell her child that she didn't care what the teacher said or did. Silently ignoring the frowny face while directing the child's attention to what went well is less about undermining the teacher than it is about supporting the child.Dorothy.Shaplandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01859830204047363942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4482783672097180786.post-37098515312907084152011-06-24T11:15:33.428-06:002011-06-24T11:15:33.428-06:00I'm a teacher and stumbled upon this post from...I'm a teacher and stumbled upon this post from a forum, and I have to disagree with your comment that the parent should ignore the teachers' comments sent home.

I do agree that the teacher should send home positive comments home, (not just negative) but asking the parent to ignore it is not the best approach.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
