This school year, Ritchie and I decided to transfer Alex to a different school. Ritchie felt that Alex is being babied in his old school and that he needs to be taught how it is to be independent. Agreeing on my husband's point of view, we had our son take the entrance exam which he passed.
So came the challenges...
#1. In his old school, his teachers would check daily if he was able to copy his assignments for the day. Here in his new school, the teachers would not check their dairy if he has copied his homework. I would just see his notebook marked with " NO ASSIGNMENT" at the end of the day.
#2. He was so overwhelmed with the number of kids in his class (his old school used to have 15 students per class, now they have 48), that all he could think of is playing. Talk about being deprived.LOL
#3. He has to write down his seatworks now before he answers them. Again, he is so lazy to copy it that most of the time, he ends up with no seatwork.
#4. The teachers in his new school would not give you any idea if there's a problem with your child. I think it would just be guess works then.
Funny, I got his report card and he seems to be doing ok. I mean, he got a fairly good average.
I guess I just have to play it by ear and be a little more patient with him. I'll just wait it out till he has adjusted to his new school.
