What teachers want parents to know

I as an intern think it is very important for parents to understand that as teachers we are with their kids a lot of the time and spend multiple hours with their children and can see habits, good or bad, that their child are picking up habits. So, I as a teacher want to be able to help correct those habits, not to insult the parents but to do what's best for their child. Also parents need to understand that when kids get a bad grade it is what they deserve not what I just give them.

I think that parents as partners rather than prosecutors is along the same lines as what I just went over. Parents automatically assume that their child is the angel and the teacher obviously is doing something wrong but if parents got it through their head that's not the case then parents and teachers could work together to make their child that much more successful.

The Rules

Ron Clarks number one rule was "We are a Family" and I think that this is very important for a classroom for multiple reasons. One of the main reasons I think that this rule is so important because when you are in a family you feel comfortable and at ease. You aren't afraid to be yourself and you can count on others to be there for you when you need the Being comfortable in a classroom is very important so that you can open up to people and eventually open up to your education.

I think that rules are very important in a classroom and in are classroom here are some rules that I would have:

1. Respect. Be respectful to everyone

2. You Must Manage Your Time

3. Ask For Help

4. Be Prompt to Class

5. Fake It Til You Feel It
