Said child understands that the following consequences are the result of today\u2019s happenings: [All the things]. Said child knows that if behavior continues, said child will be removed from extra-curricular activities. Said child knows that character is more important to us than academics or sports, so our family plan is to concentrate on character until we get that right. Then we\u2019ll add other things if we\u2019re not too exhausted. We\u2019re just gonna keep the main thing the main thing.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Please know that we are extremely sorry that said child made your incredibly important, already supremely difficult job more difficult today. You\u2019ve been so good to said child and our family and we value your dedication, love, and skill so very much. Please continue to let us know what we can do to support you. Said child has an apology letter for you that said child will bring tomorrow.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>In Gratitude &amp; Solidarity,<\/em><br \/>\n<em>The Meltons<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The teacher wrote back later to express gratitude and to tell me that the support in our email was different from what she has come to expect from parents. I spoke to a teacher friend about this who said, \u201cFor the past 2 years, every time I contact a parent about a child\u2019s behavior, I hear defensiveness, anger, denial, and sometimes dismissiveness or disrespect. It\u2019s tough. We have bad days \u2013 but most of us are in this because we love kids. We want to see them succeed. If the parents don\u2019t believe us and respect us, their kids won\u2019t either.\u201d OH, TEACHERS: Forgive us. We\u2019re sorry that our fear for our kids gets in our own way. We\u2019re sorry that our worry blinds us from seeing you and valuing you; for forgetting that we\u2019re all on the same team; for having such a hard time trusting.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Teachers are essential cogs in the wheel of our communities as they continue to educate students not only with books, but also life lessons.
