I look back now and realise that the turning point was learning my times tables and becoming the class champion. I think I needed to be accepted. My mother practiced my times tables with me every night and you know what - I really enjoyed it.

It's wonderful to hear about teachers who do their best to inspire great kids to overcome obstacles. It sounds to me like he's helping your son gain confidence in his abilities... and that is no small task. Thanks for sharing this! Great blog. :) - Julia at Midwest Moms I found you on BlogCatalog.

Math teachers said I was a mess, and could never graduate, physics teachers said I was an A student. And that's because I absolutely hated my math teachers, and liked a lot my physics one, who was kind and made every lesson really interesting. I know I should have tried better even if I didn't like the math teacher, because you don't always get to work with people you like best in life. I think this is also a lesson your son should learn. This year he has a great teacher, but maybe next year he won't. And you can't let him think that if bad teachers say he is bad, than he is, or viceversa. And you have to learn to trust him as well, regardless of what teachers say. I hope I was coherent enough...:) Anyway, good luck in the next year!
