Reply To: teachers tying the children's shoelaces.

I taught a sixth grader last year who did not know how to tie her own laces. Every time I had to tie it for her, I tried teaching her how to tie them herself. It took many times until she got it. Parents- if the pair of sneakers you liked are laced, and your kid doesn’t know how to tie laces you can take the laces out and put in rubber instead. We did it to my sisters crocs sneakers and it worked wonderfully all summer. She was three years old and was able to put them on and take them off herself.
