Let us not forget what being a student is about - a true student of learning!
As a tutor, no longer the TEACHER, I still make myself part of the team - teacher, parent, child, and ME! I speak with my team members often, seeing what I can do better and how they can support my efforts. After a brief phone conversation concerning a 1st grade student, the teacher told me that my "hands-on activities in the home may be making it even harder for the student to sit quietly in the classroom." Uhhhh.....!!!! I am sorry??!! Do you not get enough hours each day to force a VERY active, VERY inquisitive little boy into silence? May I allow him to experience learning as learning should be experienced? May I allow him to laugh and sing and be silly? Just for 1 hour....then I swear he will sit quietly and finish the 2 hours of homework you sent home.
