My daughter has been having trouble in her math class. One of my older daughters who’s a math whiz has been helping her and when she turns her work in, the teacher still gives her an F. The teacher is an Engineer by trade and expects my 11yr old daughter to think like him. Finally after emailing the teacher back and forth I went up to the school, I spoke with the principal, then I spoke with the teacher. After speaking with the teacher I decided to sit in the math class as a student for my daughters class period. My head was throbbing when I left out of there. Once I saw how chaotic the teacher was teaching, I got him and the principal together and we sat down to talk. I looked this teacher straight in the face and told him my daughter will not get an F out of your class and I need you to give me step-by-step directions on how to do this math. He was shocked and stated; most parents just say I hope my child graduates, thank you for not giving up. I told him giving up is not an option, I just need you teach to her level and we will do our part by getting the work done. If I’ve ever had a reason to pray it was now. In the end God prevailed and my daughter is walking away with a C-. Parents if children are not getting good grades in school, it’s not always the case of them not doing the work, you may need to speak to the teacher and see where the struggle is. My daughter wasn’t only struggling but she’s 11yrs old, stands 5’9 and she intimidates the teacher with her personality, he thought he was going to fail her, but God.
Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.
