I’m disheartened to see so many negative posts lately complaining about teachers (some are fair enough but most are ridiculous). I’m NOT a teacher BTW, but I have a huge amount of respect for the profession. I’d like to kick half term off on MN by countering the complaints by sharing positive stories about teachers.
My DD is 4 and started school last month. She’s never been an ‘arty’ child, which is a shame as I love arts and crafts and would like to enjoy doing them with her. She would never sit down to draw or paint for more than about 2 minutes, and wasn’t interested in any sort of crafts. Not a big deal, but personally I think children can gain a lot from arts so I thought it was just a shame.
Had a meeting with DD’s teacher, Miss B, prior to her starting, so she could find out about her likes and dislikes etc (all new kids had to do this) I mentioned she’s not arty. Miss B said “Ooh I’ll soon sort that out don’t you worry” (I thought ‘yeah right’).
I don’t know what Miss B has done, but DD has come home every night for the last 3 weeks begging to colour and paint and has also showed me all the crafts she’s done in class. I thanked Miss B yesterday( at the very least it gives us more to do on rainy days off so I’m genuinely grateful) and she jokingly said “told you I’d soon change it”.
My example seems really small and silly, but to get my DD interested in a subject she would previously brush-off before does seem like a small miracle!
Anyone care to share why they love their DC’s teacher?
