Parent Teacher Conference

I met with Jada's teacher for p/t conf a couple of weeks ago. Her teacher handed me an evaluation paper for Jada that had a few different boxes where she included her comments.

In the box labeled- Areas for Improvement she wrote:

Jada likes to help people but sometimes she can go a bit overboard. She likes to tell other students the answers instead of letting them do their own work.

I mean, come on, can you really get mad at her for that? It could be so much worse, right? Her teacher said that she felt like that Jada really was genuinely trying to help her classmates. However, she had tried to explain to her that they needed to learn the material for themselves-that she wouldn't always be there to give them the answers.

I could definitely share in her teacher's frustration. She is the same at home with Jace--constantly mothering him and 'helping' him, when I don't necessarily need her help.

I figured that if this was the worse thing that her teacher had to say about her, we shouldn't worry too much?

However, she kind of IS a little miss know it all. . .
