COMMUNICATING WITH YOUR CHILD’S TEACHER PART 2 – DO’S AND DON’TS

 Here are a few practical pointers for getting teachers to listen and respond to your requests:

DO's

· Always use emotionally neutral language. Avoid words like “should,” “must,” and anything threatening.

· Let the words speak for themselves.

· Ask specific questions which may be answered in a few words.

· E-mail is faster, easier and more readily accessible than paper notes.

· Specify your preferred method of verbal communication. If you need a phone call, ask the teacher to call you at a time when you know you will be able to take the call without having the teacher leave a message Be sure to include your telephone number in the message.

DONT's

·  Avoid leaving telephone messages at a school. School offices are often manned by student monitors and messages may not reach the teacher's mailbox.

·  Don't use confrontational language or threats. That approach may not only be counterproductive but it may also be illegal.

·  Remember that your communication skills reflect on and ultimately influence your child's method of communication.

·  If you’ve tried to contact a teacher and received no response after the second attempt, try calling a guidance counselor and explaining why you need to speak with the teacher. Counselors are more accustomed to working with parents and may be able to pass your message along.

Formulas, Felines and Flash Cards

When I was in school, one of my favorite professors, after rattling off a long and complex formula, looked at the blank faces in front of him and said, “Well, if you can't remember how we got the formula, just write it on a piece of paper and pin it on your cat so you'll see it every time the cat goes by.” (Or you can just look it up in our math software programs)

You have entered a world of fast-flying acronyms, subtle distinctions, scoring rules that

 It seems that confusion reigns supreme in this specialized world which
resembles nothing you have ever seen before.
