Subject: Self Esteem Author: Darla (Sad but ended up Happy) [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 13:46:20 03/15/11 Tue Ironically I was doing my assignment that was dealing with the dyslexic student and self esteem. And my son S, who is in grade 6 had a teacher ask him a punctuation question in front of the class. S did not understand the concept, the teacher ended up asking him 3 times in front of his peers and embarrassed him greatly. I was very dissapointed with this treatment. Called a meeting and explained what he had done to my son, and how he made him feel. Thankfully this teacher was very sensitive to what he had done and was very apologetic. I then explained to him the lesson about the two columns listing your good areas and the areas you struggle in. The classroom teacher had the whole class do the activity and pointed out that we all have areas we need t o work on. My point is as parents of children with Dyslexia it is important to step in and educate the teachers. I am also a special education teacher and this is an area that needs alot of development.
