I have to tell you that the high school students in my school get a lot of extra attention and tutoring support.

I wish all teachers cared as much about their students as you seem to. My youngest son is in high school and is quite miserable, and not motivated. I am considering moving him to a private military academy as he expressed an interest in it, and the classrooms are so much smaller.Gutsy Livinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02226653890127738115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3651940433838154296.post-11946012354555017142010-03-22T18:23:13.447-04:002010-03-22T18:23:13.447-04:00I agree Cherae!I agree Cherae!VKThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14017490749224577620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3651940433838154296.post-24834766688286064892010-03-22T15:47:02.077-04:002010-03-22T15:47:02.077-04:00This happened a lot in the preschool I subbed in. ...This happened a lot in the preschool I subbed in. The other teachers were always making comments about the kids clothes and other things like that. made me really self consious about how I dressed my own kid.

Last week a teacher told my daughter that she was not an "A" student even though she has always gotten all "A" - my daughter who works so very hard came to me in tears when I picked her up from school. I was very confused why the teacher would say this... I advised my daughter to ask her respectfully if there was something she had done to have gotten that comment - the teacher just made a careless comment because she was angry at my daughter for talking in class... the teacher should have talked to her about talking in class and not criticize her on a made up accusation.. crazyKelly Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02990072727974408086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3651940433838154296.post-26049202234102612512010-03-21T21:56:38.973-04:002010-03-21T21:56:38.973-04:00Thanks Gayle!Thanks Gayle!VKThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14017490749224577620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3651940433838154296.post-19031187510494974562010-03-21T21:39:20.347-04:002010-03-21T21:39:20.347-04:00Thank you for a great post!!Thank you for a great post!!gaylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00894920637532415315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3651940433838154296.post-89063663591415432142010-03-21T20:02:29.010-04:002010-03-21T20:02:29.010-04:00I will!
