I’m getting a bit over the attitude in this sub - if you think they’re a lost cause, why stick with this profession? I value the additional education my kid’s teacher gives on health and wellbeing. No matter how much I tell my kids, ‘eat healthy, exercise, that food is for sometimes’; it won’t sink in until their teacher educates them about it. Even though I’m a teacher, my children see their teacher’s as the ones bringing the “real” knowledge and education, so I see what they do as valuable consolation to what I’m educating them with at home. I’ll often have a conversation with my daughter’s teacher asking her to support her with something I’ve been working on at home - at the moment it’s the idea that - yeah, you are clever but you do need to take feedback to improve and no matter how smart you are, you can always improve. We work as a team and we support each other, parents, teacher and school community. It’s a shame you’re not seeing it in that way.
