Parents!

Meeting parents is always an adventure. For instance, tonight, at our orientation, I had a parent say she didn't like change and wasn't excited that I would be teaching her child. Well, nice to meet you too. I've had some doozies, but I've also had a lot of great moms and dads who truly want to help me and the school. I appreciate those that tell you what they think, but also take your criticism of their child without complaint. I hope and pray that I am as well mannered as some of the parents I have had in the past when my own babies get to school. Yes, teachers often don't get the appreciation or respect they deserve, but sometimes we don't give mom and dad a lot of credit either. Just food for thought!
