5 Things I Hope I Don’t Hear At Parent-Teacher Interviews….

  1. Your child walks around alone at recess and has requested she stay indoors to help me organize. She wasn’t kidding when she told you that thirteen times.
  2. Your child is the reason cartwheels are banned at our school. That’s not something we take lightly. Generations of kids will be affected. What do you have to say for yourself Ms. Hastings? This is only the beginning of ‘the big ban’ by the way. You know acorns are high on our list. Please stop doing cartwheels and listen to me.
  3. Why do you always hand in your volunteer/consent forms two days after they are sent home? You know there are always nine volunteers confirmed ahead of you who send them back the next day and you will never be chosen again with this lackadaisical approach.
  4. Remember that trick I played with the “lost” library book? I did that on purpose to teach the kids to never give up.
  5. We’re going to do some desk swapping and move your daughter next to the really disruptive kid who shouts and throws things. She seems to have a calming effect on people. She can organize the crazy kid’s cubby while the rest of the class practices their cartwheels.
