I've been teaching for 8 years. Each year it gets tougher and tougher. But, I can't see myself doing anything else. What is the one thing you wish a teacher could do for your child? Have you ever met a person who you know shouldn't be anywhere near kids let alone be a teacher? Believe me I have!

I'm in school and i had an English teacher i just loved. She was sooo nice and i wanted to learn. Which if you knew me you'd praise the teacher. I use to hate school but then i had her and just loved school. She taught me a lot of useful things like how to desire from who or whom things like then and than. Everything she taught was use full. It was her first year teaching and she did an awesome job. she was someone EVERYONE could talk to which was wonderful when you were haven a bad day. If you can get students to want to learn and respect you that's the best way to go.

Can you have the funds for this youngster? Do you've got aid from a different character? Are you equipped to furnish the lifestyles you desire to provide your kids? Join parenting agencies and notice if you'll be able to meet different moms and prepare playdates. The sibling may not be historic ample to play immediately besides given that you have got to get pregnant first. Figure 2 or 3 months on that juncture then upload nine months. Then the child has to get to a degree in which it's reliable for the sibling to play with it. By that point, the child will probably be in kindergarten.

Wow; what a great question!!
Thanks for what you do!!!! I know I couldn't do your job!! I love my boy, but I don't think I would have the patience to deal w/ other people's children every day, for so many hours!!
I have so much respect & admiration for the staff @ my son's school. He has some special needs, & it's been a rough road for BOTH of us! But the school he's in now is just great. All the people involved in his education have gone WAY above & beyond. I can't say enough good stuff about the staff there, or about teachers in general!!
I'd like to teach someday, as well. It will just be a really different setting! LOL! (I'm a nurse; it's a dream of mine to someday be a nursing instructor at a college, here.)
Sorry I'm rambling...
Nah---I'm not trying to brown-nose for the points. LOL! This is just from my heart.
Bless you, for all the good stuff you do, & the lives that you touch.

All we as teachers can be expected to do is to teach the child using the techniques with which he can learn. The problem is lack of support for the child (as well as the teacher) on the part of the parents or caretakers. Just exactly is it that YOU think we are to DO for children? We have been called to educate them - not raise, them, clothe them, feed them, shelter them, teach them morals and values - yet society seems to think we should. It seems to me that you have taken the side of those who do not respect the teaching profession. Perhaps you are one of those who shouldn't be "anywhere near 'kids' ."

Besides the obvious~~~~ I want my child to feel respected as an individual. The best teachers are the ones who get into what they're doing. Not just regurgitating a lesson from a book.

Stop relying on the teachers' union to protect those teachers that can not teach. Thank God for no-child-left-behind to hold these teachers accountable. I am not a student, but in my high school years ago only about 10% of the teachers were worth their salary.

I wish my son liked school a little more, but I don't wish for the teacher to give recess all day, so that's probably not in his or her control. I would wish that they spend more time showing kids the enjoyment of reading. The adventure of a story. Instead of just assigning horrible "home readers".

I would want my child's teacher to teach my child to THINK first of all. I don't want my child to have a teacher that spoon-feeds answers. The teacher should promote independence, thinking, intrinsic motivation and civic duties. My child's teacher should model how to be a good person, how to research, how to set and achieve goals~

I would like a teacher to get a grip and understand that my child is intelligent, he just has ADHD. He's in the program for learning disabilities, but he gets in classes with kids who are just slow, and it means he's bored, which means he acts up more. If they could just give him more intellectually stimulating work to do, he'd be easier for them to deal with. So I'd like his teachers this year (7th grade) to figure this out and do it.

Yes. I find it is a horrible situation today in public eduction. We have more money than ever for schools, yet the quality of education in this country is so poor, it's embarrassing. I think I would like for my children to enjoy learning and be expected to be excellent students. Haven't we also lowered the responsibility of the students, too? Most of the @%$# they pull now wouldn't be tolerated back in the day. If we allow such behavior, how can we expect them to learn?
