Did the mother mean you should say something encouraging rather than belittle the student? If so, that doesn't seem unreasonable.

- oalders 11y agoNo, I was never going to belittle the student. It was more along the lines of "Don't deal with the actual problem. Just encourage her -- that's all she needs." Essentially the student needed a cheering squad rather than honest feedback. In that environment the teachers have to tiptoe around both the students and the parents.
- prawn 11y agoYeah, that doesn't sound good!
