Things Teachers Really Want You to Stop Doing for Your Kids

Please stop contacting higher-ups on behalf of your child

This builds on the last one, but we teachers beg you to stop contacting the principal, department chair, superintendent, or school board over something that should have been brought to the teacher’s attention first. Teachers need you to make them part of the equation. If possible, the conversation should start with your child. You can step in, as needed, as a parent. But please start with the teacher first.
