Mark Phillips
suggested that teachers and parents should become allies. Every parent wants their child to receive the
best education possible. Therefore, teachers
should reach out to parents. Speaking
from a parent perspective, I never received a positive phone call or letter
from any teachers. They usually complained
about disruptive behavior. A parent do
not want to hear bad news constantly. Teachers, it would be nice to receive a
positive letter. For example, your child
did an outstanding job on the science project.

I agree with you and Mr. Phillips so often teachers are bogged down with work, we tend to only call parents when we have too! Not when we should to let them know how great their child is doing in class. I am going to talk the initiative and call one parent a day this coming week to tell them how great their child is doing in class!
ReplyDeleteI did not achieve my one parent a day quest. However, I did call three parents on Monday of students are doing well in my classes. All three parents were pleasantly surprised and said the exact thing Mr. Phillips said. They always get bad calls not good ones.
