At a parents - teacher meeting, there was a situation where the teacher was concerned about a student's sudden change in behavior. The parents shared that there had been some family issues lately. Together, they came up with a plan. The teacher provided extra support at school, like assigning a friendly peer to be a study buddy, and the parents worked on creating a more stable home environment. This combined effort really helped the student get back on track.
One of the worst stories I've heard was when a teacher publicly shamed a student in front of the whole class because the student's parents couldn't afford the latest textbook. The teacher made the child stand up and said it was the parents' fault for not providing the necessary materials. It was so cruel and unfair as the family was going through financial difficulties.
A positive story is when the teacher informed the parents that their child was excelling in a particular subject. The parents were overjoyed and decided to encourage the child further. They rewarded the child with a small gift related to that subject, like a new book for a child who was doing great in literature. This motivated the child to keep up the good work.
Training for teachers is important. Teachers should be trained to handle different situations and students with various needs. They should know how to respect the family background of students. In cases where there are misunderstandings or bad situations, schools should have a proper mediation system in place. This can help prevent the worst - case scenarios from happening. Also, parents can form groups to advocate for better teaching practices in the school.
If a child was threatened by a classmate at school and the child did not want the parent to tell the teacher, the parent should call the teacher.
Parents should first communicate with their children to understand the situation of the child being threatened and the reason why the child is unwilling to tell the teacher. If the child's safety is threatened and the situation cannot be resolved, parents should consider seeking help from teachers.
Parents should be prepared before communicating with the teacher, including collecting relevant information and evidence to provide support when communicating with the teacher. At the same time, parents should also be clear about their position and expectations in order to establish a good communication and cooperative relationship with teachers.
Although parents should take the initiative to communicate with teachers, this does not mean that they should bear the responsibility of educating their children. Parents should remain calm and rational when communicating with the teacher and respect the teacher's suggestions and opinions in order to solve the problem as soon as possible.
Well, in my experience as a teacher, I first try to stay calm. Reacting impulsively can make the situation worse. I listen to the parents' concerns, even if they seem unreasonable at first. Sometimes, they just need to be heard. Then, I share my perspective based on my professional knowledge. I might also offer solutions or compromises. For instance, if a parent is unhappy about the amount of homework, I could suggest alternative ways to reinforce learning at home. And if all else fails, relying on the support of colleagues and the school community can be really helpful.
Before the holidays, the teacher would send some warm reminders and messages to the parents in the group chat. These reminders might include winter break schedules, study plans, homework completion, safety precautions, and so on. Teachers might remind parents to urge their children to complete their winter vacation homework on time, formulate a study plan, maintain a regular work and rest time, strengthen physical exercise, and cultivate good living habits. In addition, teachers may encourage parents and children to engage in activities that are beneficial to physical and mental health, such as outdoor walks, reading, etc. The specific content of the speech may vary from teacher to class, but the overall goal is to help parents and children have a happy, safe, and meaningful winter vacation.
