Teachers - what do you want parents to know but can’t say to them about their kids?

[TooBusyGazingAtStarss]

Saw a post elsewhere on social media asking this but am interested in what UK teachers really want parents to know but cannot say to them - for example, wash their coat. The teacher see’s them wiping snot on it all day.

Might help some give some parents some tips as well :)

I've always thought that must be so incredibly hard.

And good luck with the agent. The MT years are soooo much fun. DH refused to accompany after a harrowing Sound of Music weekend where he came home and said he'd spent hours 'watching young hearts break'... he used to just have a large G&T waiting for me when I got through the door!

My mother thought it was terrible because it was so upsetting and I shouldn't put her through it (good luck telling DD that), but when I look at all the kids I know from those days - all older teens now - they really are incredibly good at just taking what comes their way.

Sometimes I wish DD was just a little bit more bothered if she fails chemistry tests though...
