After I began to have health problems, my kids went back to public school.
My son was in constant trouble for ‘disrespect’. The teacher would make an error and he’d politely correct her.
He ended up in the principal’s office more times than I could count. Each time, he’d passionately defend his actions. “This woman is teaching these kids INCORRECT information. This will warp the foundation of their education and set them up for failure later.”
The principal agreed with him.
I was never bothered by the school on this issue.
I was complimented by my kids’ teachers and a few members of the administration on the job I did more times than I can count.
And no, math was not my strong suit. I had to learn with my children. I didn’t ‘play teacher’ with my kids. If there was something that I had trouble with, the three of us would do research and figure it out together.
My kids learned how to solve their own problems and find answers rather than be spoon-fed.
