Journal A

Since i've run out of ideas for topics, I'm going to use my Creative writing Journals for awhile.

You get to create the rules, what five rules would you create for teachers and for parents?

5 rules for Teachers
-always be respectful of your students, no matter how different they are.

-Being respectful doesn't mean being a pushover.

-Get rid of troublemakers quickly, they bring down the class.

-Tests (essays in english) prove what children have learned and should be the only basis for grading.

-Be flexible and help your students learn in their way, not your decision as to how they "should" learn.

5 rules for parents

-Don't lie to your children. Santa isn't real and either is the toothfairy. lying to children makes them resent you later on in life.

-Don't impose arbitrary rulings, help your kids work through their problems together.

-you ARE NOT your child's friend. you are their teacher and mentor, so start acting like it.

-reason first, then force (if necessary)

-Always question your own rules, if it doesn't make sense, ditch it.

that's all
