@eigenrobot Hm, ime this sort of bureaucracy encroachment is going on even in private schools or high SES areas where the kids are pretty normal/good. In fact almost 100% compliance is achieved in these sort of schools with good kids and parents keen to win various rat races

Type of kid whose self worth is tied to how well they do in math. Many such cases. Fear, anxiety, societal pressure create an emotional environment where it's hard to be curious, to detach from errors, to allow for moments of uncertainty - all needed to learn even simple math

- let yourself be weak, hurt, insecure, uncertain in front of them. You might be surprised at the strength of their honest to God support - (this less obvious one coming from them, showed them the thread😂) don't treat questions like they're legal matters needing perfect answers

In regular school my oldest daughter was suspended for "clowning around" But I think she's fine now: she does linear algebra by herself in the morning and is in the middle of a week long workshop on physical comedy with a master cirque de soleil clown who's talking to her about

- be open to change your mind, fail, apologize to them. It doesn't make you weak, on the contrary - conversely, don't let them win without a good honest fight - it's ok to compliment them on their natural abilities (not just on efforts) - practice curiosity about their life

I'm of the school of math where writing it well is how big part of understanding happens But I get to teach kids like this too❤️ My 1st - I still remember - red-haired Irish rugby player kid who handed empty papers in tests. He'd attempt writing but would always erase it all

@BuddhistSanta Agree, though they will be exposed no matter what, because people who don't take children seriously are just out there aplenty. So equipping the kids to deal with these adults and having their backs when they ask for help is what works short of sheltering them forever

Ngl, it's a blackpill to hear that a non negligible number of adults, including parents and educators, believe the only way to achieve discipline is through violent verbal coercion and absurd limitations on children's freedom. Because reasons. Like kids can misbehave, property
