I'm having trouble understanding where h is coming from the way he talks about the dc's education. They have to get grade A or he isn't happy and thinks they should have all toys and treats taken away so they can learn.
I've put this in primary education as ds is 10, he'd be in the 6th year on UK buther ein Germany he's in a grammar style school already and it's really tough marking. One mistake and your A is gone. He ha sbrought 2 grade C'S home (a 3 in Germany) even though I sta with him all weekend doing maths he only got a 3 in his test. H says he must be stupid (ds) and what if I went out to work full time and didn't sit with him and work, he'd be even more stupid.
Am I maybe too easy going on the dc? I just tell them to do their best an dtry hard and I sit and help them with learning for tests etc but FGS they are 9 and 10. I wantto move back to UK because of this. H's answer is well millions of Germans get through their system so why can't our dc...
