I am a very open minded teacher and believe that kids are different and experience things different - I encourage them to be inquisitive and think outside the box and we can learn more about life than just what we read in books and all is not about mark................. you will not believe how many parents have a problem with that - they seem to like the brainwash method and studying like a parrot. Sorry then I am not the teacher for your child/ Kids must learn to look after themselves and be responsible for their decisions and consequences. But this new generation parents enable kids too much.
