An educator's job is often demanding, stressful, and overwhelming. This year, only 34% of the teachers in the U.S. said they were satisfied with their jobs. The pressure is real. They are responsible for shaping the minds of the future generation, after all.
So, since the new school year is already upon us, let's show our teachers some appreciation with this list of wholesome interactions between them and the parents of the children they teach. It's like the Dalai Lama said: "When educating the minds of our youth, we must not forget to educate their hearts."

A Teacher Sent This Out And I Love It. Thoughts?

i agree. Also school times. Little ones are up earlier naturally, older kids can have late activities or even work and homework on top of that. Yet, they have to wake up the earliest, and the little ones go to school last.

I agree with this completely. When I was teaching grade 3/4 the school required me to set homework every week, even though I didn't want to :(

In Grade 2 or 3, my children's homework sheet was all those interactive home activities. It was as much fun for parents as it was for my children. It did include things like clear the dinner table with another person, making it not just about the activities deemed as fun but also ones that are helpful. IIRC we played the chart like it was bingo, I don't think every student was doing the same activity each day.

My son went to a school where the last period of the day was "homework hall." If the student found difficulty with the work, they immediately went back to that teacher to correct the issue.

I’m A Teacher. Today A Child Gave Me Toy Replicas Of My Dogs That His Mom Had Crocheted Me
In 2023, researchers found that most teachers living in OECD countries feel undervalued by their community, the media, and policymakers. Soo-yong Byun, the co-author of the study, said that teacher satisfaction directly affects student satisfaction and outcomes.
"If teachers feel valued in society and by media and policymakers, their job satisfaction will increase and thus [they will] make more efforts to adopt new ideas and methods to change and improve their schools," he explained.

My Son’s Teacher Told Me He Looks Out For A Little Girl Who Has Just Moved From Venezuela And Doesn’t Speak English Yet. I Am So Proud

Barong 1 year ago (edited)
I was a buddy to two new kids from Mexico. Really nice kids but they didn’t speak much English. Anyway, long story short I basically got dumped when they realized I was a new kid myself and not one of the more popular kids and Middle School was rough, so I can’t blame them. At least that’s what one of them told me many years later in high school. I kinda got a good or at least better reputation by then. I was still shy but I was no longer the new kid and I had a number of friends and acquaintances which included the two boys I mentioned.

This Heart On My Hand Is Called A "Cuddle Button." Daughter's Teacher Draws This On Both Our Hands When I Drop Her Off At School, And Every Time We Press It, It Sends A Hug To The Other

Parents, on the other hand, place a lot of trust in local schools and teachers. A poll by PDK International’s 2022 Public Attitudes Toward Public Schools found that American adults rate their local schools very positively. 63% of American adults put "a great deal or good amount" of trust and confidence in their teachers.
These ratings are almost the highest they've been in 50 years. Still, people don't view teaching as a desirable profession. When asked whether they'd like their children to become teachers, 62% of the respondents said 'no.' It seems that parents understand how hard a teacher's job can be, and few wish their children to experience that.

In reality, it's not just the teacher's job to educate and inspire the next generation. It's a tough job that parents need to take part in, too; it's a joint effort. Journalist and educator Dana Brown even goes as far as to say that it's not the children who make the job hard. It's the parents. "Often the most frustrating and overwhelming duty of teaching is communicating with parents," she writes for The Educator's Room.

Brown lists three main reasons why parents and teachers might not get along as well nowadays. First, it's that parents are overwhelmed with responsibilities. So, they rely more on teachers to teach their kids life skills, morality, and values. And when these clash with those of the parents, conflicts arise.

Second, some parents want to micromanage their children's everyday education too much. "Yes, parents should absolutely have a say in their child’s education, but those choices should be made during elections and school board meetings," Brown claims.

Still, the first issue is probably the most glaring. Many parents want to control what and how their children are learning, prompting conflicts with the teachers.

Psychologist Michael Thompson explains that this is due to parents just being more involved in general. "This is the most devoted, most conscientious, most aware parent cohort ever—but they're also wildly anxious." Out of that anxiety, he says, comes the sometimes overbearing communication.

A Letter My American History Teacher Handwritten As A Christmas Gift To Me And My Parents
The letter reads: "Thank you for having/sharing your son with me. I’ve greatly enjoyed having him for a year in class. You’ve done a splendid job in raising Michael. Thank you for joining in on his birthday prank! You joining in (not to include your cake) made that one of my best pranks ever! So you move to your new house, may it be filled with all those things that make life worth while..."

OP says, Teacher(used to be a nurse) told him that he needed a prostate exam when he turned 18. He messaged his mum freaking out.His mum played along and said that he needed one to make sure he doesn't have cancer. He did his research, realised he didn't need one. Confronted the teacher who laughed. Then showed the teacher the messages between him and his mum. Teacher laughed even more.

Teacher Calls Parents Of Students He Liked Teaching This Year. Parents End Up Calling Them "Early Christmas Presents"
Elladine DesIsles 1 year ago
And then this teacher publicly posts about it, where it may eventually be seen by the parents who didn"t get a call because their children weren't "liked" by this teacher. Or by the former students themselves. I find that problematic.

I have a feeling that many of the commenters don’t have children or have never even been in the same room as a child. So much negativity and judgement on content that’s unproblematic.

I have to share my son's special moment now. 🥰 My 6yo son is autistic. I intended on homeschooling... but he was too intelligent and too difficult for me to manage on my own. I was fried. I needed help. We put him in a small local public school this year. We JUST had a meeting with the school psychologist and his teacher today, to talk about how he is adjusting. He is apparently doing so well that they intend to remove him from the special-ed program and integrate him into all-day classes. The teacher said that, aside from his hyper-focused interests that make transitions a little tough, he is easily the sweetest kid in her class and that he is a joy to be around. I cried. I am so darn happy to hear that he loves school, is respectful, and is adjusting well. 🥳

I remember in elementary school my birthday was a huge deal because of my mom's homemade muffins. Pineapple, pumpkin, banana 😋. The principle always begged for her bread for school bake sales.

I appreciate the heck out of teachers. Some of these gifts were so amazing. Unfortunately I don't have a craftsy bone in my body but I do always send an end of the year gratitude email along with my store-bought teachers gift.
