[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The negativity is a real issue. We are at a really good public school with smiling teachers, administrators, etc. and a high quality of teaching but the written communication that comes from the school is terrible. BUT it was really shocking to me how much of the text in our back to school packet dealt with do not do this and do not do that. I thought the first rule of discipline and good teaching was to always be positive? Is it just that the teachers/administrators don't know how to write?

I am afraid that the kids will develop this style of communicating. I agree about the packets. Almost worth the $$ to put in place a system that is more positive, even if it means hiring someone to spin this in the positive or politely answer the same questions over and over. Just think that kids will be more successful in life if they are more positive.[/quote]

You want a cash-strapped public school to hire a PR person to spin the welcome packets so kids don't feel "negative" about not getting to bring Cheetoes to class? God, PLEASE go away.[/quote]

Let me guess. You're a teacher? What's wrong with a positive non passive aggressive approach for the office staff who write these missives. I'm at Deal and I can't believe that front desk woman--[/quote]

I'm not a teacher and there's nothing wrong with any of that. There is, however, something wrong with the idea that you should HIRE A PR PRO to do it. Clearly this former private school mom has no concept of how things work outside the country club gates and should return there at once.[/quote]
