I enjoy playing throw-away NPCs.

So.

Serious question.

All of you who went through elementary school without meds. I've read a lot of literature and had training, but I'm wondering how some of that squares with the personal experiences of some of you.

What do you wish your teachers had done to help you? What did they do that hurt you?

My third graders. They are absolutely adorable.

I want to know the outcome plz.

Parents who are both advocates for their kiddos, but also support the teacher with ways to help their kid be successful.

Totally got cornered by a guy in NY attempting to get us to do that. When we said no, he went, "So you are racist." It took all if me to explain that's not how racism works. #randomstorytime

Half a peeve, but also an optimistic ending?

I have kiddos coming from two different teachers last year. Half had a teacher with strong management even though she was pregnant the last half of the year. The other half came from a teacher who was a TRAINWRECK. Zero management, zero accountability, just... zip.

I can tell which kids came from which teacher based on how they behave. It is so starkly evident it isn't even funny.

Optimistic note: All of them are SWEETHEARTS. Like, run up and give me hugs. I am confident if I give them a proper structure that they'll thrive and blow me out of the water on what they can do. I'm super excited to see where they go!!

Kiddos come back to school tomorrow!!!!!!!!!
