Butterfly: Teacher Insights

While preparing for my conferences I started to think about what I would like parents to know about teachers. Here are a few of them:

• We love your kids. We want what’s best for them just like you do.
• We work hard.
  
• We have tons of unmatched coffee mugs and Christmas ornaments that say “World’s Best Teacher” and candles. If you’re going to give a teacher a gift, be creative. (And if you can’t be creative, we love gift cards.)
• We like parent support. If my parents spend time reading to their children or practicing flashcards, it encourages me to do more, too.
• We love being teachers. It’s a job that you can’t do if you don’t love it. We don’t love every minute of every day, but we love teaching.
