Reading your entry brought back so...Dear Mrs. West,<br />Reading your entry brought back so many memories; the fear, anxiety and finally the trustAs parents we are often not ready to let go and trust that another person wants what is best for our child just as we do. As you have expressed so eloquently, we should look upon this time as a "partnership" and not one of being usurped in our children's eyes. As loving parents, we want our children to do well. This can only be accomplished through working in partnership with teachers and staff for the betterment of our children. We must not only be willing to trust the teacher, but we must trust ourselves to ask questions and accept the answers. It is such a relief to know that as an educator you experience the same emotions that many parents do. In sharing your story you have made me realize that we all experience "growing pains", it's funny that we never think about how educators feel as parents. Thank you for that.<br />Xanthia Elmorexanthiaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12516423475358598407noreply@blogger.com
