STUDENTS WANT TO LEARN AND TEACHERS WANT TO TEACH!

All over America at all grade levels teachers are TRYING to love their children and give them what they really NEED.  At the end of the day, we just want children to be healthy and happy.  Why, then, are we so obsessed with skills and content and curriculum???  

Administrators need to read this!!!  Support your teachers and trust them to love and do what's best for their students!

 

Our grandson's band director sent this email to his students Monday before the first day of class.  It touched my heart, and I hope it will give you a smile and faith that "WE'LL WORK THIS OUT, THINGS WILL BE JUST FINE!"


SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT BEFORE YOU GO TO BED TONIGHT:

' Twas the night before Distance Learning and all through the town, everyone was thinking, how will this go down.

Students and parents and teachers all wonder, can I make this work. What if I blunder?

Passwords, logins - do I have it already, Easy now, take a breath, remember to be steady.

There will be blips, there will be unknowns, but we are in this together, you are not alone!

One Day at a time, this is not a race, a new journey for all, so please give GRACE.

Grace to yourself and grace to each other, we will get through this, one way or another!

STUDENTS want to LEARN and TEACHERS want to TEACH; families need to work so it may be reached.

PATIENCE and RESPECT will guide us through this strange experience that is so new.

I'll say it again (and many more times), We'll work this out, things will be JUST FINE!

Here we go folks, this could be a while; just remember to be KIND, and of course to SMILE.

Good Night
See Ya in the morning
