after responding to a post on facebook, i felt the need to blog this and maybe it can be shared later.
parents & teachers, we have to work together. a friend of mine posted a link about another "teacher" doing wrong to her students. it's too many of these incidents happening.
i truly applaud those teachers who still have the passion to teach and nurture our children. but it is some bad apples out there. and they get away with these things when the parents are not actively involved.
ask yourself, does your child come home and tell you everything? my oldest does. if his teacher yells in the class, i know. because from young, he's always had learning problems so i instilled in my son, people are going to pick on you, people are going to misunderstand you, so YOU MUST BE PREPARED, listen and learn and NOTICE everything. i did that mainly for HIS protection, and it's worked out.
my youngest, while he loves school, has learned to do the same thing. while neither likes to be a "tattle tell" they trust in me enough that i, as their parent, and as an adult, will handle the situation properly.
moving on, yesterday i had a parent teacher conference. my son has "asperger's syndrome" which means he's not autistic but he does retain some autistic qualities. one of these is he consistently seems aloof or not concerned (however, my son is an A student) he retains what he is "hearing". anyways, one of his teachers made the statement, "he's just not concerned, and i thought he'd learned that at home, so i just let some things slide"
WTF. i looked that teacher and was like EXCUSE me? the hell? "ma'am if you learned about the children you were teaching you'd know that's just him, secondly, i've been to back to school night, and all conferences, how is that NOT BEING CONCERNED. i read all emails, and answer all calls home." her response, "you're right i'm sorry ms. davis, not all parents are as active, i do apologize and i do thank you"
Now I sit here and think to myself, what's happening to those kids who don't have active parents? This is 6th grade, this is a life altering year, a year of serious growth for many children!!
PARENTS AND TEACHERS - we have to work together from preschool to highschool graduation!!

Parents and teachers HAVE to work together, unfortunately some parents don't care, ive seen it and heard it, they're like "oh well, when they in school they your problem", some kids are straight up disrespectful with teachers, and then there are teachers that are scums, ive seen it too.... basically parents PLEASE get involved!
