Re: Schools, teachers, kids and parents. Education in general.

Re: Schools, teachers, kids and parents. Education in general.

Thanks ononno.
He's a bright kid, but he's been told too often that he's stupid in Italian and Maths.
He seems more interested in the 3 years just because it's 3 years rather than actually liking...

Re: Schools, teachers, kids and parents. Education in general.

Yes it had English. No other languages. 2 hours a week for Italian, English and maths, but 3 hours of Electronics Lab and 6 hours of laboratorio sistemi elettrici. Not sure how that differs from the...

Re: Schools, teachers, kids and parents. Education in general.

Alex's Italian teacher is always moaning that he's crap and his grammar is even worse and next year will be even harder and there will be the prove invalsi as well. I've just done a prima media...

Re: Schools, teachers, kids and parents. Education in general.

Thanks. She told me that if even if she has to live like a nerdy, geek hermit crab with no social life she will not get debiti next year as the stress was too awful and ruined her summer. I'll remind...

Re: Schools, teachers, kids and parents. Education in general.

Not sure she does Patty. She's not daft or stupid and doesn't deserve her debito in maths as her teacher is a real proven psycho bitch who failed more than half a class. Chloe does deserve her debito...
