2. Please don't give your child everything they ask for. The kid with the cellphone, the ipod, the trendiest clothes, the best shoes, and a mom who still makes his bed for him is usually the brattiest kid with the worst work ethic.
3. Please observe what your child is wearing to school. Many of your daughters are becoming borderline walking pornography.
4. Please don't sit down at my desk at parent teacher and exclaim that this class is your child's lowest mark and make me feel like I am the cause of it. One of their classes has to be the lowest mark.
5. Please know that your child reveals to me a great deal more about you and your home life than you would like them to. Let's just say I know you better than you know me.
6. Please understand that your child's education is a partnership. You and I both have a role to play.
7. Please quit bad mouthing teachers as people who have "the easy life". Get real. Most teachers put in more work hours than many other jobs. From what I hear, the road to the university is still paved. If it is so wonderful maybe you should give it a try!
8. Please know that I love your kid. I treat them as my own and hope for their success just like you do. I am on your child's team.
There....................I feel much better.

I aggrrrreeeeee. Very well said Cor.
Awesome post! U r the best teacher ever and all those kids are luky to have you! Parents need to learn to be real parents instead of giving kids everything ! And letting them get away with everything great post!
Did you make those up or copy them? They are awesome. We have always gotten lots of the "easy life" comments. Wouldn't you like to see them keep teenagers happy all day and teach them something?!
Kaylynn--These are just my thoughts after a crazy week. And just for the record, Austin is the one furthest from the "easy life" at our school. Don't envy him at all, but he does a great job.
LOVE THIS! One of my favourites is the one about it being a partnership. I know a lot of people who home school their children which is great but I feel like I home school my children I just have some help on the side!!
