Open House

So, I've never been on the receiving end of Open House...having to follow my kid's schedule, sit in a little kid desk (btw, still little in middle school), hearing the expectations of 6 different teachers, AND listening to the principal's speech for 25 minutes in a room that is, KID YOU NOT, 8000 degrees.

God love you, parents, for attending Open House.

You know, the funny thing is that we teachers, parents, all of us, really have the same expectations for our kids...your kids. We want them to be respectful, responsible, caring people. Learning the reading, writing, math stuff is good, too, you know, but that's WAY easier to teach than the other, as I see it, more important things.

In the end, we just want to grow good people. The kind of people we can be proud to say, "yup, that's a good one."

So, thanks for supporting your kids, for sitting through Open House, concerts, plays, art shows, games. You guys are the good ones.
