reported that he had to stay in from recess because he had to redo the homework, which is a whole thing that drives me crazy in and of itself, keeping kids in from recess for disciplinary stuff.
But he had to stay in from recess, he had to do the homework again.
Um he also his teacher said, you know, frankly
We're not done here.
You can't go back out because you gotta come up with a strategy for figuring this out.
And so a lot of really great things happened.
He came up with a strategy that day that has been the strategy that has worked for him for the past five years.
He had to talk to an adult about stuff and self-advocate.
I mean, that was a huge thing too.
He didn't like talking to people about what he needed.
He was scared to do that.
Th you know, there were a lot of really good consequences that came from that from not taking the homework that day.
And if I'd taken the homework because it felt so urgent that one day, 'cause I could save him from the teasing and I could save him from the wrath of his teacher, and I could save him from another zero on homework, it would have felt really good that day.
But man, it feels really, really good now, um, five years out, now that I'm you know, I know that that day paid off in so many different ways with the system he continues to use.
Yeah.
So I think the
immediate thing I wanna do when my kids are screwing up or when my kids are not understanding a concept, you know, if especially with writing.
Like I could just fix it for them and you know, I I I've I could help them in that way.
But I think I have to rely a lot
as a parent on what I do as a teacher.
