I stay away from complainers, and look for answers. Our administrations do the same, these peoples plates are full. If we take the time to find answers, we can work together for a resolution. We ask our students to do these exercises constantly, how can we teach what we do not follow?Ken Blackwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15456436634519161864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3725285395319049030.post-4284117947666078492009-03-16T19:18:00.000-04:002009-03-16T19:18:00.000-04:00I agree with you because many times we just feel t...I agree with you because many times we just feel that they should know what we need. A believe that we think in the why that the admin must have forget how it is to be in the classroom from day to day.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09907020899503043606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3725285395319049030.post-92139750059980314472009-03-16T14:02:00.000-04:002009-03-16T14:02:00.000-04:00Hi Riley, I agree that administration doesn't know...Hi Riley, I agree that administration doesn't know what you need until it is voiced. I also try to remember to consider something that I tell my own children. "Don't just complain, give me some possible solutions to your problem." In other words, anyone can complain about their issues, but when a complaint (concern) is coupled with, here are some potential solutions, that goes a long way in showing that we are concerned but willing to work to get something right. I also agree that adm. are very busy! It's easier to discuss something calmly and with a bit of time to spare rather than going to them with something that needs to be addressed NOW. And even with that, go in with all your facts in order. It's good to be a teacher, and even better to NOT be an administrator, HA!Teresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08966502477534101105noreply@blogger.com
