[quote=Anonymous]I didn't think remission would be such a motivating factor for me.  I was already giving my all to the school where I worked.

Then I changed schools and because of generous remission, I eventually brought my kids to the new one.  It's so personal for me now.  I care very much that our curriculum is the best, that we're offering experiences that no one else does, that our college placement stays very competitive.  I'm in it so wholeheartedly for every child and for the school's reputation overall.

And I've noticed the same among my colleagues who have children at the school. There are more of us here and there is nothing we will not do for this school.  Responding to all the nighttime parent and student emails, attending extra workshops to refine skills and craft, attending the fundraisers, speaking at the occasional conference, always looking around to see what programs are being experimented with at other schools and might be introduced here, volunteering time to chaperone more frequently.

I feel more than appreciated by the parents -- I feel like I'm their equal in my new school.  At the previous school, I knew that the parents were grateful when I went above and beyond, but I somehow still felt part of a servant class to them.  (Despite my Ivy universities and having worked in a higher prestige job prior to becoming a teacher.) .

Every school should make this a benefit if they can.  [/quote]
