Just a quick, post Parent Night update. I held it check and did not attack G’s teacher in front of other parents, the principal, etc. I am proud to have displayed such reserve and maturity. The old me would have trotted out my grievances regardless of the setting. I am still prepared to tangle with Mrs. C tomorrow morning, early. I told her to expect me.
But after seeing such an organized classroom, each folder, name card, pencil in it’s place; after hearing her deliver her well written pitch about expectations and responsibilities, with power point slide show and corresponding handouts; It’s hard to remain convinced that this woman does not know what she’s doing. She seemed…well…put together. She was soft spoken. I won’t go so far as to say she seemed ‘nice’ but remember, I was expecting The Dragon Lady.
Upon returning home I spoke with G about her classroom and thanked her for the sweet note she left me:
Dear Mom
I Hope you hav fun
Ples loke at colr grap and the mesigh and my decke
Love, G
PS. good Lake
And, while I tucked her into bed and placed a kiss on her forehead, I said, “Your teacher doesn’t seem all that bad. She actually seemed kind of nice.”
And G responded, “That’s because you didn’t ask to use the bathroom.”
From the mouths of babes!
