To end my day, I want to share a 10-year-old girl who cannot answer any questions that I asked her. In addition, she was being pressured by her mom.
All of a sudden, she cried like a baby.
With this situation, I will be blamed at the end of class and receive a poor evaluation. 
Don't be worried about this concern because I don't care if I got one.
You might be thinking I am weird. Why I did not lose my cool with this kind of student. Honestly, I am used to it and it makes me entertained.
How tactful are you when dealing with a cry baby kid?

@prashu228 I agree more with you. I prefer teaching adults.

Why would you lose your cool with a kid who is obviously upset? Being entertained by it sounds a bit strange to me.

One a 10 year old isn’t a baby, two crying emotions is normal for a preteen. Yeah 10 year old girls are preteens and emotional over load like being pressured can cause a child to need to break and cry tog eat frustrating out. Normal atypical behavior. My 10 year old will cry over lots of things I let her cry then I ask do you feel better? Do you want to tell me what is wrong or bothering you. That’s wha better then ignoring anyone that is showing an emotion around you.

@Shavkat regardless of culture or not not asking what is wrong and waiting for the parent to ask doesn’t solve anything because what if the parent is the problem. Do people just assume that parent might not be the cause of the reason why a child is upset?

@ShyBear88 It surely their biological parents are one of the causative factors. Or, this child is not ready to let go of being passive as what they do at schools in China.

I do think it is normal for a child at this age to cry without telling me the real cause first. I am not a bad teacher since I let her cry and when she stopped, I asked her to drink a glass of water. With respect to Chinese culture, I did not ask more about what causative factor because it will take the concern personally by her mom.
. Yes things like that happens with kids. You are a good teacher who tackles the situation without losing calm

I'm glad I didn't deal with kids in school. I might not be able to handle the stress. What I did in school is to scare the h_ _ l out of them, saying their grades could suffer and I try to arouse their conscientious minds, they're young adulta anyway.

" 10-year-old girl who cannot answer any questions that I asked her"--did she not know the answers or was she afraid of you or ????????
