School…A partnership?

Post 178

I have always felt that school is a partnership between parents (families) and teachers. We both want the same thing…for our students (children) to succeed. That’s the whole point.

Most teachers call their students “my kids” and they are. For the hours they are at school, students spend most of their time with their teachers. And we care about them a lot. We think about them when we are home, plan for ways to help them be successful, and are excited when they are. Nothing makes a day better than knowing you have gotten through to a student. We want to see them do well.

For that to happen both sides need to work together. That’s why a lot of times I advise you to “talk to the teacher” if you have a concern about your little one. Together we can make your child’s first experience with school a positive one. And that will go a long way towards making their whole educational career a good one.

So, let’s be thankful that we can do this together. Happy Thanksgiving!

Take Care. 🙂
