We need to tea h them that it's okay not to like someone but still ha e to be polite and kind. Parents now just want to blame someone because they are too busy to take the time and teach these lessons. I have so much respect for teachers they do gods work because I surely can t.

As much as I agree with your post, as you go higher up the school system I also come across teachers who are not as enthusiastic and driven as the teacher you describe. I am certain that most are of this nature but sadly, too many aren't. It's sifting out the good from the bad and then trying to apportion your dissatisfaction in the right direction!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02610843552921892203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3437949099735865174.post-82415562539805678712014-02-12T08:19:40.210+00:002014-02-12T08:19:40.210+00:00Go ahead, Sooz...

It is inevitable that there will be teachers who you don't click with in the same way, or who you feel doesn't totally "get" your child, but I think as you've all said, presenting a united front is absolutely key! Totally agree that "child teacher parent team = good, happy child in education"Clarina1985https://www.blogger.com/profile/16702083166779949852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3437949099735865174.post-23214647200008105772014-02-12T08:06:28.016+00:002014-02-12T08:06:28.016+00:00Amen!!Amen!!Clairenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3437949099735865174.post-19760550664527159642014-02-12T08:03:15.476+00:002014-02-12T08:03:15.476+00:00Great advice.

I have great respect and admiration for all of you and though our personal experience has been mixed and has largely depended on whether the teacher fully understood him! We have always worked with the teacher and I hope in their eyes the teacher/parent team has worked!Hazelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3437949099735865174.post-1501309625430435982014-02-12T08:02:22.070+00:002014-02-12T08:02:22.070+00:00Totally understand where your coming from Claire, ...Totally understand where your coming from Claire, but sadly in todays world/society not every teacher thinks or has your approach. A child can simply be labelled or judged and therefore let down but that teachers judgements. The child that needs help most is probably the child that has been labelled. Plus it's hugely depends on the parents! I think if the parents show support and respect for their child's teacher then it works both ways and you end up with a good relationship with them. As you know I have had a run in with head teacher however I spoke with oscars teacher to ensure it wouldn't have any effect on him and he is doing so well and settled. I hear so many people saying 'oh you will always get one teacher one year that you don't like' my response is yes so be it but at end of day we have to work as a team 'child teacher parent team = good happy child in education' <br />Let me know your thoughts!

If parents and teachers cannot work as a team (and that doesn't mean we will always agree on things) but it is also about presenting a united front to our children and sharing with them the correct values, as you have mentioned grace and respect. I'd love this to be read by so many others and perhaps more people would acknowledge the pressures of the profession!xTessnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3437949099735865174.post-8820699442235223472014-02-12T07:59:00.853+00:002014-02-12T07:59:00.853+00:00I hope you don't mind me sharing this!xI hope you don't mind me sharing this!xSooznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3437949099735865174.post-30728987177079511902014-02-12T07:39:08.116+00:002014-02-12T07:39:08.116+00:00Brilliantly written as always!
