[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Experienced teacher here- my advice, tell her although she’s years into her degree it’s not too late to change. Switch majors. I would discourage my own children from entering this field if any had an interest in teaching. It’s not remotely the same as it was 20 years ago.

If she does want to do this, it doesn’t matter. Pick any district. She can always change later. It’s good to get different perspectives from different places after a few years. Steps and benefits always change.

Whatever you do, do not go to help her set up her classroom. We have seen a couple of first year teachers bring their mothers to help decorate their rooms before school starts. It doesn’t look good. She’s an adult. She should reach out to the other staff for help, not mom. [/quote]

Oh my gosh!  Yes!  I had a colleague who did that one year.  It’s not a good look.[/quote]

Totally disagree. Why is it wrong if a parent wants to help? There is a lot of preparation and not enough time during preservice week. The “it doesn’t look good” comment… unnecessary. Who cares?  [/quote]
