Thank you to our educators!!

With so much going on these days I just want to take time to give thanks to the educators of our children. Until recently I never realized how much “bs” that the educators of America have to put up with. Not only do they have to teach the kids but they also have to deal with the politics associated with being a teacher.

 

Imagine being the parent of 100+ kids. Yes I know its very difficult to do and you are probably thinking no one in their right mind would ever have that many kids! But hey couldn’t you compare that to being a schoolteacher.

 

Stay with me, a parent has to know how to deal with the different personalities of all of their kids. Well so does a teacher. There are no 2 students who are exactly alike so the teacher has to know how to get each student to stay on task and also have to be able to find ways to get the best out of every student.

 

A parent has to discipline their child. Guess what so does a teacher. Every now and then you will have students who get out of line and you have to find ways to deal with it. Yes I know my thought would be send them to the office and not deal with them. What good is that going to do the next day they will be right back in class dong the same thing and you can’t send them to the office too many times because then the administration start looking at you as if you cannot control your students and question your abilities as a teacher.

 

A parent cares about their child and wants to make a difference in their life. What other reason would there be to be a teacher other than wanting to make a difference in a child’s life. I mean the profession is probably one the most important yet underpaid professions out there so there has to be the self gratification that yes I did make a difference that keeps them going.

 

A parent teaches his child life lessons and right from wrong. While in their class the good teachers hope to reach at least on child and hope that they can teach at least one person something that will help them out throughout the rest of their life.

 

A parent has to have patience when they are teaching their child new things. So does that child’s teacher! I know there are some days that these men and women want to just walk out the classroom or question why they even give a damn. Thankfully they maintain that patience and dedicate themselves daily to help our youth succeed in the “real world”.

 

I just want to take the time to say THANK YOU to the great men and women who take on the very unenvious task of being an educator in the school systems all over America.  Thank you for dealing with our kids on their best and worst days. Thanks for having the patience to want to teach our kids the basics they need for success. Thanks for giving those kids who may not have a stable environment something positive to look at!!! To the parents of the kids train your children right!! There is only so much a teacher can do in the 55 minutes a day that they have your child. That is your child and it is your job to raise them correctly. Support that teacher if they call you about a problem with your child then more than likely your child is messing up somewhere. Don’t fall for the excuses like “she just don’t like me” or “the whole class failed that test”! Don’t go to the school acting a fool talking about why did you give my child a “f”? Instead turn around and ask your child what didn’t you do to earn this “f”!! Once again thanks to the educators of America you guys are the BEST!!!

 

No I’m not a teacher but I know a few and this is just some of the problems they deal with on a daily basis!! Feel free to comment and add your own. LOL
