Have you talked to your kids teacher in more details?

本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛Did you ask the teacher what they really mean by saying "注意力不集中,Scocial Skills 差"?
Did you get all the beharvior description, rather than this very sumamried, subjective statements?
And what are your observations for your son?..

Sorry asking this many questions since I was facing the similar situation regarding mine.
I have a 6 year old boy starting SK last September in a new school with a whole bunch of new kids. So far I had two parent-teacher interviews and every time was told he was a very shy boy, which is very different from my observation.
The first time (about 1.5 month he joined the program) the teacher told me that he was a very shy boy. I asked her what were the exact behavior she observed in the class (like he did not speak in the class, he was not really playing with any other kids other than one girl). Since I knew my boy is kind of slow-warmup, conservitive, laid back person, and would only speaks when he is 100% sure. so I explained to the teacher his personality, and shared with teacher my boy's growth pattern at the previous school, and asked the teacher gave him a bit more time to see if he was going to evolve over the time.
After that interview, I often asked my boy how he was doing at school, who he was playing with .. so that I could get a picture from his side.

At the second interview which was just in early march, the teacher still mentioned that he is a very shy boy, who likes to play with a few girls, but not boys, funny part is now the explaination she gave me were very different from the first interview, she observed that there was some maturity gap between my boy and the other boys, and she herself could see why my boy does not play with the other boys often. (she is a very very good teacher, the best I have seen so far, so don't take me wrong here). And then I explained to her that my boy used to play with older kids, now he is learning playing with younger ones.
To make sure mine is not a really shy boy, I put him in a brand new March Break camp where he knew nobody (but the camp was for a mixed age of kids) for 3 days.
He was doing amazing well with the other kids, not shy at all. (Of course he was one of the youngest).
Guess what I try to say is, no need to take it too seriously yet. Take a bit time clear up your thought, and digest all the information from the teacher, or get more information from the teacher, then based on your judgement/observation, decide what to do..

  • 枫下家园 / 望子成龙 / 孩子Grade 6,已经在Gift Class intermediate level intensive class。 成绩不算好也不算差,都是B。 但是老师总说孩子注意力不集中,Scocial Skills 差。请问大家有何建议。
    • Forgive my frankness please. This is the drawback of Gifted class for ordinary gifted kids. from 'always top' student in normal classes to becoming 'mediocre' ranked one.
      It might affect kids' mentality.
      • Thanks. 但是他并不是觉得学习吃力。当初在小学普通班的时候,老师也说他social需要改进,而且在学校普通班他的成绩也并不是top, 除了数学是A,其他的成绩都是B. 但他还是被选到了Gift intensive class.
    • Just like my son. Don't know what to do.
    • Social skill is a main focus for gifted program. The interpersonal skill is in the IEP of every student in my son's class.
    • Gifted =\= all A's. My son never gets all A's. But I still think he's gifted. He has very broad knowledge. You have to believe he/she is gifted. Parents can't see this since we are too 'ordinary' parents looking for good grades.
      • 我倒觉得你说反了, 自己的孩子, 怎么看怎么爱的居多.
    • Don't only look at marks, my son is in gifted G5, His marks as same as your son, but he can learn C++ by himself.
    • 那有没有能让他集中注意力的事情呢? 如果有就不用急, 也许他不感兴趣老师讲的, 但要是什么都不能让他集中注意力, 有必要看看是不是AD.
    • 不应该Overlook marks. 这世界比尔盖茨, 杨致远之流毕竟是少数。小概率事件落到我们头上不容易。进好学校, 拿高奖学金哪样不看分数?
      • Teacher describe my son as "easily distracted and benefited from reminders to the task at hand" and "highly recommend to attend co-curriculum acitivies to broden social ability."
        As to my son, he has many interests of his own. He likes to painting but does not like to take painting class and think class is boring. He only likes to draw whatever he wants draw and loose interest in any homework for most of time.

        Even teach thinks my son's creativeness is "sometimes bizarre" as the teacher mentioned at interview, my son insiste that "he must has some special wisdom but others won't understand." Also, he himself does not take social skills a serious thing. He is strong minded ... really frustracted and don't know what to do.
        • This is a true story, please take it serious. Last month I met a Philipino at my customer site lunch room . Chatting about his family, he told me that his son was in gifted class and really smart.
          He won top prize in Toronto Star's (some kind of) drawing compitition when in Grade 6. But the guy lost interests in regular studies and even never went to University. Now He is working as a supervisor(earning $22/H, not very bad) in a Canadian Tire warehouse. Considering his son's talent, the father is very very frustrated. He said his son just simply didn't listen to him.

    • social差是gifted孩子很容易有的问题,因为他们跟同龄孩子智力程度不同,谈不来,开gifted班的目的就是为了解决这种问题嘛。至于注意力不集中,一种是嫌老师讲得浅,get bored。另外是真跟不上或者没兴趣,你要搞清楚情况区别对待。
