What Teachers Really Want to Tell Parents

By Ron Clark

                Teaching is the noblest profession.- this implies that a teacher portrays different roles like a model, facilitator, actor, manager, mother, sister, and many more. Sealed with this statement are different kinds of hardships encountered by a teacher every day especially in dealing with the students’ behaviors and attitudes and also with the parents.

                As a teacher, you should establish a great relationship between you and the parents and with the community because they are the one who will serve as your partners in the teaching and learning process. Especially for parents because they are the ones who will serve as the second teacher of a child when they are at home. They are the ones who have the responsibility of guiding the extent of education of their child through assignments and others. The relationship between teacher and parent should not be broke for the children may be affected.

                What the teacher really want to tell parents is for them to help them and cooperate well and not to be against their system because for the first place, they are the ones who enters their child in the school meaning they are putting their trust in the school and to its faculty the education that they want for their children.

                Teacher and parent should have a good team work for the children to become more active in the school and be more disciplined. When there’s a problem in the school, as a parent you should try to analyze first the situation before complaining and defending your child. You as a parent know your child. You know his/her behavior that’s why a parent should be patient. When it comes in giving grades don’t demand if your child got a low grades because they deserved it. You should be thankful for because the teacher is honest and provides room for your child’s improvement rather than those children who got a high grades but then learned nothing at all.

                A good relationship between the teacher and parent is necessary for a well and balanced education for your child and also for the teacher to be more encouraged to do more in her career and for the children as well.
