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."

    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.

    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

    Since my wife died last year, my 4-year-old daughter has hated being away from me. So, this helps her feel connected to me.

    slightly-simian Report

    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.

    And lastly, attitudes toward teachers at the top matter. Brown says that parents often mirror the administrators when it comes to respect for teachers. When rigid regulations and micromanagement are coming from the top, parents tend to follow suit.

    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. Jessica Winter writes for The New Yorker that this issue might have become more prominent with the pandemic. Teachers got a direct glimpse into the children's home life, while parents could finally sit in on the process of the classroom.

    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.

    The key to a good parent-teacher relationship is to trust the teacher to make the right decisions. After all, they've received qualifications and training for doing exactly this, right? "The more you call, the less the teacher feels trusted, and the more it corrodes a relationship," Thompson says.

    Okay, I taught 1st grade for years, then older kids. The first graders were exhausted after lunch! They went from kindergarten, where there was much play, to learning reading, writing, arithmetic. A lot of the kids looked like this by the end of the day! I don't think there is anything wrong with this child, in all likelihood. We need context here!

    Seems to be more going on than just missing mum. I would suggest giving her a chewable/stim necklace while finding out the cause. I have a child in my after school care who needs something like this, but for some reason the teacher thought a chewable necklace or chewing gum would be too distracting for the other kids.

    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..."

    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.
