Ah ha. Now we're on to something.
If the teacher had anything other than shit for brains, would
she not have called a parent-teacher conference instead of trying
to pick a fight with a Primary 1 kid?
You do realise that the words are not really meant for the
student? Indirectly, it is calling for the parents to pay more
attention to their child studies.
It is still ok to not be able to spell "ruler" "table" etc. But
not knowing how to dot an "i"? seriously?
and everyone was once a student, and should know that some
parents are totally bochap in their child's studies, and throw
everything to the teacher.
There is only so much a teacher can do, when parents are
reluctant to enforce basic rules at home, e.g. make sure child does
homework, revise for spelling etc. you need 2 hands to clap.
I have seen many child so spoilt by their parents, that their
parents fight to bring their precious child out of every "hardship"
their child faced in his life.
If child don't want to do homework, then let him be.
If child kena scolding by teacher for poor grades, complain
straight to principal.
If child don't want to go to school, write parent letter and
excuse him for xyz reasons.
It was quite ridiculous when I once saw my colleague hand in a
parent's letter to my boss, for not coming for work. Spare the rod,
spoil the child. This is indeed true.
