Most days. . . .

Most days I love my job. I have been teaching for 100+ days (you know we are all over what day of school it is in Kindergarten). I lucked out this year. Great kids, and great parents who truly care about their kids and what they are learning (most of the time). My school is in an affluent area of town, and I have a couple parents who have nothing better to do than hang out in my classroom.

Now I love parent help, but there is only so much I can have them do. And apparently they really do have too much time on their hands.

On Friday (the 13th), 2 hours before our Valentines party I had a parent call my cell phone. What ensued was a very polite 15 minute rant about what I was doing wrong in my classroom. My expectations are too high, and their little darlings should be allowed to re-enact Star Wars on my carpet everyday. Not going to happen!
