Tonight we went to Parent Teacher conferences for my middle schooler. This boy of mine is talented, awesome and super smart. School isn't necessarily his thing because it requires sitting still for long periods of time and he's a mover and a shaker. He's also funny and loud and super social. He can be a bit disruptive in class sometimes due to those things.
Those teachers are so gifted at seeing past the behaviors and seeing him for who he is. Every single teacher said how much they enjoy him and think he's so great and funny. One thing that made me happy is they said he's never disrespectful to them even when he's being corrected. I'm so proud of him, he's such a good kid. They were totally willing to work with him and find ways to motivate him.
Sad to say that sometimes as a mom I need reminders of how awesome my kid is. It's always nice to hear other adults say good things about my kids and give me that little reminder of what a great kid I have.
Teachers are undervalued and underpaid and deserve to be compensated for shaping our future society. Thank you times a million for your patience, perspective and talents!
