Parents,
If your kids are on TT or SC & you're not doing phone checks...going through their DMs....like all up in their business....
I promise you, you need to be.
I promise you.
I promise you.
Just look.
It's disconcerting, but sometimes I hear, "Will teachers use plan time well if we give them extra?"
As long as teachers are prepared for their classes, it shouldn't matter what they use their plan for. Sometimes planning includes resting and recharging. #MakeTeachingSustainable
Middle school is not the time for you to be more hands-off with your child. If anything, act like they are big, smelly toddlers. Developmentally, they are supposed to push boundaries. This is when you earn your parenting stripes.
Things teachers want to say to parentsโฆ
-Take the phone away at night. Your kid isnโt getting enough sleep.
-Donโt believe everything your kid says. They lieโฆA LOT!
-Teach your kid to have some grit. Also teach them to be nice!
-Stop blaming everyone for your kidโs issues.
For 2023, letโs remember THIS.
Asking teachers to do โONE MORE THINGโ and not removing anything else from their plate doesnโt help anyone.
โขIt doesnโt help Teachers!
โขIt doesnโt help Test Scores! ๐
โขAnd it certainly doesnโt help STUDENTS!
If youโre a HS athlete that doesnโt have the grades to qualify for a 4 year college then your parents didnโt hold you accountable enough growing up. With proper structure and effort no one should have less then a C in school. It ainโt that hard.
Teacher evaluations should be more aspirational to reflect professionalism of the role.
How are you doing this year?
What do you think we are doing well?
What is an area we can improve?
How can I best support you right now?
What professional goals can we help you achieve?
Education has always seemed to be focused on fixing teachers. Teachers donโt need to be fixed but they do need to be supported, encouraged, & appreciated. Thank you to all the leaders who do!
Interview with a teacher who recently left the profession.
Why did you resign?
โI have a Masterโs degree.
I work really hard.
I love teaching kids and am great at my job.
I do it all for a disgracefully low salary.
All of that and Iโve never felt so disrespected by so many.โ
