I don't think, sometimes, that it's said often enough how great teachers really are. I can honestly say that the staff at my kids' schools is fantastic. I have yet to have a teacher I haven't liked and, quite frankly, everyone from the office staff to the cafeteria workers are so friendly and sweet. It seems like there is a generation of kids coming up whose parents blame teachers for common core (which was NOT instituted by teachers, ironically). They blame teachers for not having textbooks in their classrooms (which the teachers are not responsible for as this is a funding issue). They blame teachers for their little angels getting into trouble. It's always the teacher's fault in their eyes and most of the problems they're describing have absolutely NOTHING to do with anything the teachers can control.
My point is simply this: Take time to talk to the teachers in your school. They are, often, just as frustrated with circumstances as you are. They are doing their best to fight the injustice while still fighting hard to teach your child. Most of them love their jobs and just want your child to love learning just as much as they do. Take a little time to appreciate these individuals for the hard work they're doing and give them a little love for taking on a job that would make most of us crazy.
