[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just want to note here that teachers cannot be everything to all students: gang-buster, parole officer, psychologist, therapist, priest, doctor and parent. I’m a parent. I cannot blame teachers.[/quote] We can’t be everything, but we can, should, and must work with the resources we have to help students. Too many teachers aren’t using the tools and services we have been given. I have colleagues who do use the Language Line that provides a translator if you have to call home to speak to a parent who isn’t fluent in English. Leaving six messages in English does not beat making one phone call in Spanish or Amharic or Creole. I have colleagues who hold quizzes on the day they know Linkages to Learning meetings are held. As a result, the child invited to the meeting must choose between attending this support or having to make up the quiz at the teacher’s convenience. [/quote]
