Sometimes you get somethings right..

My son was all smiles yesterday when he came back from school and he gave me a hug and told me “You were right, mom”

This particular journey to ‘rightdom’ was a very fiercely fought battle.

When my kids started schooling, I insisted that, when they do their homework ,they write the question and then the answer, instead of just writing the question number from the text book. It was something my father taught me. When you write the question again, you actually get another chance to read and understand the question.

With Yaya, it was fine. But not my son. “nobody cares about writing the question again, no one in my class does it, this is a total waste of time etc etc” were few of his response. But I was adamant. It took a while before he learned that his mother is really stubborn and eventually he gave in.

My son had handed in last week’s homework on Friday and yesterday his teacher, while giving the corrected work back to the class, showed my son’s homework book and said to the whole class.

“This is how you do your homework. You must write the question and then write the answer” ( apparently he is the only one who did that)

My son is hoping to be the dux in each grade..and every little brownie points helps him get there.

He is very happy..

Sometimes, I get somethings right.. ( and then I screw it all up big time)
