好老师

很多时候都听到妈妈们说，大多好的老师都分到好的班级啦。。
我心里嘀咕，儿子三年来都没分在所谓的好班，可是，儿子的老师给我的印象都是一级棒呀！打从一年级到现在，孩子的老师都令我尊重。
话说，我也是紧张妈妈，也会经常写Email跟老师沟通，关心儿子的学习进展与态度。老师们都会在极短的时间给我回复，让我了解儿子的学习态度，而且也很耐心分享一些教导方针，如何开导儿子等。老师每回的热心，真的让我感激又感动。

分享一下，我跟老师的沟通

Hi, Ms Gan,
Sorry to disturb you again.Regarding Justin's today homework.
He was upset that,
1. He told me that he can't find his Journal execise book at home.So, i suggest to him write the journal on a piece of paper first and transfer to exercise book when he find it later either in school or home.
2. Then, he told me that he don't know how to write the journal. The journal 's title is 'How your friend spend his school holiday' .( roughly , i understand this through phone communication)He told me no friend like to sharing with him. Then, i ask him, did he going to talk sincerely or share with friend? this is your responsiblity to find out . Mother can not help you to ask...
3. Another Journal is "Indian music fusion ", he was dreaming during the lesson, so he don't know what to write.
Above was the communication with Justin this afternoon.I am understand , it is not easy to write Journal if you do not any idea or guideline.However,Justin is less of initiative to learn and depend to mother or teacher.Thinking mother always can help him and support him when he faces difficulties.
In this situation, i was advised him must try to do or write something about the journal by this afternoon , such as imagine your friend went to see movie or went to play at park or seaside.( just like what he did during holiday) .Then, tomorrow go to school and tell teacher what problem he was faced.
I know he is unwilling to do this but this is what mummy can help.Therefore, i wish Justin tomorrow at least can pass up his homework and understand nobody can help him if he never pay attend or follow teacher's intruction during the lesson.
Thanks for your patient to Justin.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Dear Mrs Chong,
Thank you for the inputs and I am glad too, that Justin is seeking help through alternatives instead of giving up totally and not do or do it frivously. I will look into the matter further on the part no one wants to share with him. With regards to this point, I do observed that he has friends around but perhaps, he is less initiative to make the first move.
As to the part on the Indian Fusion Dance, it was the morning assembly's program and he should have participated in it and respect the program by being attentive. This is an obvious negligence on his part and I will not condone it. However, I will talk to him and let him understand the rationale behind it. On the part of sharing his activities done during the holiday, he will still be able to write the part on 'his' own fun times during the holidays and thus at least half the work is done. I had lined out two criterias that they must fulfil in looking for friends to share. 1. Opposite sex 2. Different race.
In sharing with friends of different races and gender is to promote understanding and cultivate their personal skills with people from all walks of life. This can evidently widen their horizon and get them to mix around with different people. I would like to thank you for alerting me on Justin's difficulties and I will have a chat with him to find out more.
Please do feel free to share with me anything about Justin and I will try my best to alleviate his problems. Thank you.

Yours sincerely,
Stephanie Gan
