[quote=Anonymous]I think you should start one! Teachers need places to vent and share strategies (I know; I am one, but of older kids.) Especially if I were wearing the parent had and seeing people criticize my school (which I only do not because it's too disorganizedly under the radar to attract attention), I would want to exchange thoughts.

phpBB.com is a free forum site. Go for it! But then maybe make it members-only, with people needing to provide some proof that they're teachers to join, so non-teachers can't come in. Of course, it's hard to have bona fide identity checks, but the Yahoo parents group I'm in asks for checks and I've never felt like anyone was secretly a neighbor who hated children, posting for us all to pick up our dropped lovies and make our kids stop whining as we pass her house.

Good luck with your first year at your child's school! As a teacher, I always loved the kids I affectionately referred to as "staff brats." And I agree that keeping a respectful distance and only rarely mentioning your family to your students will be a good thing for your kid -- and even create some exciting mystique among your students![/quote]
