Teaching moment...

Today I took my 4 boys to swimming lessons as I have done for the past 3 years. We have gone to 3 sessions and just started 3 weeks ago the last session before the summer break. All went well for the last two sessions but this time is going to be a real learning one for my 5 year old and myself and it won't be swimming related! My 5 year had the same instructor for the last 2 sessions and he was awesome with his group and did a great job getting my son to do all kinds of things in the water. This session, my son has a female teacher and from the get go she didn't seemed to be thrilled to have my son or the 4 other children in her group! She has not been able to maintain control of the group and even though none of them can swim she keeps letting them wander off... To make a long story short myself and the other mothers are not too happy with how things are going! We've spoken to the coordinator who is trying her best, but...Anyhow, my son has no idea how I am feeling but to make it worse he has no interest in listening to her and can see/feel that she's not really crazy about being "stuck" with this group and he wishes his old teacher would come back. I've been learning some more patience but also trying to take this as a chance to teach my son that he must listen to his teacher and obey her even if he doesn't feel like it and that he needs to learn to respect people even though he doesn't like them. I've been working on keeping my mouth closed so that he has no idea how I feel about his class & his teacher. I have limited respect for her teaching style and how she's leading her group but I know that my son still needs to respect her and obey her and it may be a long 7 weeks for both of us as we work through this one!
