One of the news stories which caught my attention this week
was “I wish my teacher knew….” The Colorado
teacher who gave the assignment was floored by some of the responses she
received. In fact, it changed the way
she saw her students.
I began to Google some the sentence and variations of
it. I too was amazed at some of the
responses I found. One variation was “I
wish the parents knew…..” from a teacher.
Here were some of the responses.
1. Your kids can do
much more than you think they can do.
2. It’s not healthy
to give your child constant feedback.
3. We
promise not to believe everything your child says happens at home if you
promise not to believe everything your child says happens in our classrooms.
4.
Your
children learn and act according to what you do, not what you say.
5. Teach
your children that mistakes aren’t signs of weakness but a vital part of growth
and learning.
Interesting. There
were many other sites.
What would you like for us to know?
On a side note Mr. Ellison successfully aged into the 40's. Doesn't he look happy to be here?
