How wonderful if every parent had this discussion with students heading back to school. Probably, most do. And, let's face it, we as adults need to repeat this mantra as well. In fact it could be re-written to fit us as adults:
Some teachers are smarter than you.
Some teachers have nicer purses than you.
Some teachers are better dancers than you at school assemblies.
It doesn't matter!
You have your thing too.
Be the teacher who welcomes the new teachers into the group.
Be the teacher who shares posters.
Be the teacher who listens to all the great vacation stories everyone has.
Be the teacher who doesn't chime in on the latest gossip.
Be the nice teacher.
It's the beginning of school again. Today is August 1st. For me, once it's August 1st, summer is over. I'm in school mode. I think I'm the nice teacher. All I know is I CAN'T DANCE. But, I do like to share posters!
2018 begins my 25th year as a teacher! 2018, here I come!
