Student-teacher clash: no chance to participate in class

Onalenna, Parent —

If my teen is not given a chance a in classroom to participate and often brushed off when asking questions what do I do?

Hi there Onalenna,

I'm sorry to hear your teen is having a bit of a tough time in the classroom.

So your teen is getting brushed off by the teacher? That's a shame. If your teen isn't comfortable talking to their teacher about it then maybe there could be an opportunity for you to discuss it with the teacher?

It's very difficult when there is a teacher issue as unfortunately there is often not a lot that can be done about it, but it's great your teen is keeping you in the loop so that at least you can try to manage it together.

I wish your teen the best of luck with their studies, and please let me know if you have any other questions about studying.

Kind regards

Clare
