Teacher Vs Parents

Posted by teacher on July 4, 2011

There are individuals who, throughout the day, experience extreme levels of pressure in their Stress Tank, but manage to keep their tank from exploding until the school day is over and they get home.

It’s also common for these individuals to have strong reactions during the day that go unnoticed by teachers and peers. For example, it might look like they are listening and paying attention when, in fact, they have completely shut down their system. Or they might lock themselves in the bathroom during recess – just to get away for a while – without anyone noticing.

For these individuals, a long day, full of demands and expectations, can cost a lot of energy and often comes with a price. It can be compared with how most of us would feel after the first day at a new job. Can you imagine feeling like that every day?

Furthermore, the communication between parents and teachers can become problematic and challenging when they see two different pictures of how things are going.
