Real moms praying for real teachers

If the sand is running through the hour glass of your summer, it’s likely a teacher is in your future. For children in traditional style classrooms or co-op groups, another adult will direct most of their school days. In the days of the one room schoolhouse, everyone knew the teacher, but in modern times, few parents have a close relationship with the educator who will invest so much in their child’s growth academically and otherwise. Real moms want to know, “Who is this stranger who will imprint herself (or himself) on the life of my child? Does this real person …

5 Questions to Prepare for Parent Teacher Conferences

It’s been long enough. Families who use a traditional classroom or co-op format for schooling have been in school long enough to expect and receive feedback. For many, it’s nearing the time when progress reports and parent conferences will be scheduled. Some schools make this a regular, even required, part of the learning process. Others put the option out there, letting the parents take the lead on scheduling. There’s nothing quite like face-to-face conversation with the teacher to nurture partnership between parent and educator. When it comes to parent-teacher conferences, memorizing James 1:19 is preparation for a successful meeting: “Everyone …
