Tonight is curriculum night. We are over 4-weeks in and this is our chance to allow parents to follow their student's schedule and see that their days look like. It is an opportunity for teachers to explain the learning and growth expected to happen in their classrooms. We get to brag a little about the progress that we have seen so far in our wonderful students.
I love that we get to give our parents a glimpse into the day of their students. I want parent to be fully aware of what their kids are up against. The growth expectations have never been higher. The pace of growth expected never faster. I want this to be an opportunity for parents to realize a little bit of empathy for their kids.
Is that bad?
I think not.
Our kids have jobs 36 hours a week. To learn. To grow. To cope. To balance. To create a social self. To grow in capacity and confidence.
When we all understand the realities of a situation, we can best work together as a team and support our students.
A special thanks to the parents that come out tonight and are genuinely invested in their students' education!
Be Mindful.
Peace.
