Conferences are upon us and you might be a little nervous. Well, relax. Teachers are not planning surprises or keeping hidden agendas. Instead, they have been watching, recording, considering, discussing, and reflecting on your child's actions and work since September and now they have the pleasure to share all that information with you! Parent conferences are a formal time for parents and teachers to look at a child and explain the developmental strides he has made.

Even the best teachers make mistakes. So many of our classroom management strategies are used without thinking. We don't always reflect on where they originated. And what is worse, we don't monitor their effectiveness. It is important for us to be reflective teachers so that we don't perpetuate a damaging strategy.

A med­ical doc­tor from the pre­vi­ous cen­tury would not rec­og­nize the tech­nol­ogy in today's hos­pi­tal; a col­lege pro­fes­sor from that era would see vir­tu­ally no change in the tools of edu­ca­tion.

When I was a kid I was really scared of all my teachers. I would never in a million years have disrespected them or talked back. I would never have cursed at them, shouted at them, laughed at them (unless they were telling a joke) ignored them, rolled my eyes at them, tutted at them, snickered at them, or any of the other disrespectful things that kids today seem to have no problem doing to their teachers.
