Parents, please note:
your child’s teacher does not hate your child;
Parents, if your child is telling you those things:
- maybe it’s in your child’s mind;
- maybe your child has done something to disturb the teacher;
- perhaps your child talks during class;
- perhaps your child sleeps during class (oh, sorry, rests his head on the desk and closes his eyes so that he can better concentrate);
- perhaps your child does not pay attention (oh, sorry, focuses well but the way the teacher expresses herself is not understood by your child);
- perhaps your child left the handout in class;
- perhaps your child did not: do the homework, take the homework from home, take the homework out of the backpack, and/or pay attention when the teacher collected the homework.
Does your child clean up his/her room when you ask him/her?
Hmmm, maybe there’s a pattern here that is repeated in school.
But wait, how many children do you have and do you ever get upset with them?
As a high school teacher I have approximately 125 students. Guess what?
- It bothers me when they don’t do their work.
- It bothers me when they don’t pay attention.
- It bothers me when they mock me.
Yes, it’s true, I am a person.
So next time you want to accuse a teacher of sabotaging your child’s future, go find your kid in his room and speak to him—honestly—about what is really happening in school because it generally is not the teacher’s fault that he got an F, D, C, or B (if you are so grade-greedy).
Signed,
A caring but annoyed teacher.
