The Bitter Pills

These are the statements that teachers are forced to swallow, often with a bitter taste in their mouths.

• "We're not babysitters." Teachers are responsible for educating children, not for providing childcare. While they understand that parents have busy schedules, they wish that students would come to school prepared to learn.
• "Discipline is not punishment." Teachers believe in fair and consistent discipline, but it is not meant to be punitive. They want students to understand the consequences of their actions and to learn from their mistakes.
• "We're not perfect." Teachers are human beings, and they make mistakes. They appreciate feedback from parents and administrators, but they also need to be given the space to grow and learn.
• "We're not miracle workers." Teachers cannot magically turn around a struggling student overnight. It takes time, effort, and support from both the student and the family.
• "We need more resources." Teachers are acutely aware of the challenges that students face, and they believe that all students deserve access to a quality education. They advocate for more funding for schools, smaller class sizes, and more support staff.

The Sweet Treats

These are the statements that teachers love to say, but often don't have the opportunity.

• "I'm proud of you." Teachers love to see their students succeed, and they take great pride in their accomplishments.
• "You can do it." Teachers believe in their students, even when they doubt themselves. They encourage them to take risks and to never give up.
• "I love teaching." Teaching is a demanding profession, but teachers wouldn't trade it for anything. They love working with children and helping them to learn and grow.
• "Thanks for being a great student." Teachers appreciate students who are engaged, respectful, and eager to learn.
• "We're all in this together." Teachers know that education is a team effort, and they value the support of parents, administrators, and the community.

The Mixed Bag

These are the statements that teachers say with both joy and trepidation.

• "I'm so excited about this lesson!" Teachers love to share their passion for learning with their students.
• "I have a great group of students this year." Teachers feel fortunate to work with students who are eager to learn.
• "I'm worried about this student." Teachers care about their students, and they want to see them succeed. They are concerned when a student is struggling academically, socially, or emotionally.
• "I'm burned out." Teaching is a demanding profession, and teachers sometimes feel overwhelmed. They need time to rest and recharge.
• "I'm not sure what to do." Teachers sometimes feel frustrated when they don't know how to help a struggling student. They seek support from colleagues, administrators, and parents.
