Gratitude To The Unknown Instructors
by William Butler Yeats
WHAT they undertook to do
They brought to pass;
All things hang like a drop of dew
Upon a blade of grass.

Parent Information Night. It's amazing how, still, to this day, teachers make assumptions about what parents know about school routines, reporting, educational acronyms and the curriculum. Bless them though. They probably rightly focus on communicating with the children and do it very well. But my impression is that they aren't great shakes at communicating with parents. It's a tough ask, I know. There are lots of diverse opinions, needs and interests. As an old primary school principal once said to me "there are as many hats as there are heads".
Deb - just had to tell you your comment on my blog made me cry. In a good way! Wow, I'm just stunned you would say such gorgeous things. Thank you for helping me through a low day. I'm so humbled. x
ReplyDeleteWell it's all true. You're a treasure and trouble-shooter. When in a fix, I ask myself "What Would Tania Do?" (WWTD) and the answer is always perfect. Readers, go check her out :O)
