Harsh Guidance
The homework sheet with the critique came from Alyssa Rupp Bohenek, Kamdyn’s teacher. This action led Chris to think whether the teacher had something to do with his son’s poor performance. The note read, “Absolutely pathetic! He answered 13 in 3 minutes! Sad!” This Chris thought was just too harsh. No teacher should ever speak to a child like this, even if it is a comment on their homework. This kind of rudeness can greatly hurt a child’s confidence.
Who Is Alyssa Bohenek?
Bohenek had been teaching at the school for some time and was quite hard to please. This was the kind of teacher who favored the ‘intelligent’ and high-performing students but would be unfairly harsh on those that were not up to her standards. She had Kamdyn’s class, and it was apparent they were not getting along so well. If anything, the two had come to odds with each other, and it was clear that this teacher disliked Kamdyn.
