[quote=Anonymous]I taught at a private school and you’d be amazed how thankless the job is. I was in my 20s making 25K and school tuition was $40K. The demanding mother of a slacker kid (required monthly team meetings, teacher provided notes, and assigned note taker, and 1-2/weekly email updates from me). I often skipped lunch to help him when he actually didn’t want to do the work. Mom got me a $30 candle from HomeGoods (I’m allergic). So many of my other students made me cards and notes but it was a little wild how few parent acknowledgements I received, even just a simple thank you for the year.

I do remember one parent sent me a pretty detailed thank you and copied my division head, which was lovely. I think that’s the best, besides getting thank yous from students - a cc’d email to superiors! As a parent now, I completely understand how busy and crazy the end of year gets. But if you have a few minutes in the evening, shoot an email off to your favorite teacher and copy the principal. [/quote]
