But, they will sure act up if little Johnny is having a problem. I will never forget my first teachers conference for my daughter, she was 6 years old. There were 4 teachers sitting at a table in the library waiting for me. I could tell their feathers were ruffled. These ladies were used to "Oh, my little Johnny would never do that!" We talked for a while and I agreed that my daughter was a busy bee, always wanting attention and talked all the time. Then I said "I don't know where she got it, it must be from her daddy!" We all started laughing and the ice was broke. Of course they knew she had gotten her taking from me, I talk all the time! he he They were nice ladies and good teachers but, after dealing with so many parents who think their kids can do no wrong they were on the defensive. It's no wonder they feel unappreciated. Parents need to show them some respect and appreciation for what they do for our kids. And not just on Teacher's Appreciation Day!
I have a beautiful 5 year old granddaughter who is autistic. You can say I am a very defensive grandparent. But, she has had teachers who are nothing less than Saints in my eyes. We write back and forth everyday in a notebook we keep in Summer's backpack. I like to send them little somethings every so often to let them know how very much we all appreciate the work they are doing and how wonderful Summer is improving. I can only imagine what they must go through daily. They need a big hug every day! Most people would run out of Summer's classroom screaming, "I QUIT!" I know it sounds funny, but it is so very true! I do hope your posting will stir people up enough to "pass it on!"
