"But when I have to battle with certain children every day to keep their toy in their bag even though I personally asked the parents not to send it, it's annoying and I wonder what on earth they're thinking.""You're constantly evaluating why children react in certain ways either socially and academically and a lot of it is nurture."
One educator said that they notice a specific group of their colleagues tend to be more judgmental than others. "Sadly I have come across a lot of judgmental teachers, especially those without children," they revealed."The ones who never read with their children are doing their children a huge disservice.
"I have little sympathy with the parents who complain that their children won’t read at home because it’s usually their fault that they don’t like reading at home," they explained."People DO judge on names and you're stuck with a name for life," a teacher admitted."Not only are they disadvantaged from the start but will take that name into employment," they added.
The overarching theme of the comments made clear that when teachers have strong opinions about their students, it's really the parents who are being judged.
