So, the first month of school is almost done and you’ve received countless permission forms and letters and sent in money for this and that. Hopefully by now you have a sense of your child’s teachers – their philosophies on education and their style of discipline. And maybe you’ve formed a few opinions.
And maybe you think your child got a raw deal this year with a less-than-awesome teacher. Obviously, you and your children are not going to love every teacher – but how do you decide when it’s time to take action? What’s a concerned parent to do?
I’m a big believer in helping kids face difficult challenges and I have seen amazing growth come from kids coping with struggles. However, you are the parent and you know your child best. Most teachers I have had the pleasure of working with are dedicated, hard-working professionals who do whatever they can to accommodate the needs of their students. Most, but not all. If this is the year your child needs some help dealing with a bad teacher, then use it as a teachable moment and show your child the right way to handle conflict.
