Chapter 11 - Mickey's progress

Mar. 3rd, 2023 Friday

When I got home from get off work today, Mikey told me happily:

Mom, when I went to the math teacher's office today to pick up the class assignment, my math teacher asked me if I would like to be a math rep.

I replied let me try it.

He said ok.

I feel that Mickey is very happy and I'm happy for her too.

I was very worried about Mickey's math before, because last year Mickey sprained both feet at different time, and she rested at home for more than a month each time, did not go to school, and fell behind in math.

Mikey never dared to ask her former math teacher any questions. She told me that once during her math test, her math teacher was standing by her desk. She said because of this, she was so nervous that she couldn't think of anything.

I've tried and failed to get Mickey to ask her math teacher questions before. I also told Mickey's math teacher about this situation. As Mickey is afraid to ask her questions, can you help Mickey? But her math teacher just said, this is an easy thing to do and she won't embarrass any students. Many students came to her on their own initiative, just let Mickey find her.

So Mickey's problem still exists. She still has many math problems that she doesn't understand, and she dare not ask her math teacher.

So this year, I hired an educational agency to help me find a math teacher to tutor Mickey in math. After tutoring for about a month, the teacher come once a week. This time Mickey's math test scores have improved a lot, all thanks to the part-time tutor and Mickey's serious efforts.

Below are three things that my fellow brother sent to me for children's education, I think they can educate me also. I'd like to share with you:

If you want to help children build a strong and healthy psychological personality, these three sentences should be inculcated in children and the future will be better:

One it is impossible to make everyone like you, no matter how good you are, don't put so much effort into pleasing others. So it will only make you lose yourself and your charm point too.

Second, there is no one in this world will tolerate you like you parents, you can cry when you're in a bad mood, but don't take it out on others because no one has the obligation to pay for your unhappiness.

Three, sometimes you have tried very hard but still don't succeed, this is normal, you can achieve as much as you can afford to fail you.
