For some students, they learn from teachers what they should learn at home. Ts often fill those voids #sunchat

dayankee May 8 @ 9:37 AM EDT

@mthayer_nj @Peebles142 @PMcPeake1 So true. It's the foundation of caring that gets us through those tough times #sunchat

Sharieloveslife May 8 @ 9:38 AM EDT

Another challenge we c w/CCSS & Ps is many who have #sunchat https://t.co/ThjNGGxLTm

@Sharieloveslife thats great. then they cant complain about not getting it, especially if they dont attend! #sunchat

joycschultz May 8 @ 9:38 AM EDT

#sunchat I am a parent and I strive to nurture my Ss as if they are my own.

DebbyCall6 May 8 @ 9:38 AM EDT

@PenroseTutoring @barrowsscience That's awesome...Such a great compliment and I'm sure very deserving. #Sunchat

mthayer_nj May 8 @ 9:39 AM EDT

@dayankee @Peebles142 @PMcPeake1 I think it’s also important to remember that we should care, but we can’t make the Ss reciprocate. #sunchat

@Sharieloveslife @mssackstein I think one of the best things we can do is to offer a fresh start next class or time! #sunchat

@Sharieloveslife #sunchat def challenge, in San Diego, have lots of translators, still doesn't cover the 450 languages spoken in the country

dayankee May 8 @ 9:39 AM EDT

@mthayer_nj @Peebles142 @PMcPeake1 No, that's true. We have 2 keep putting it out there in the hopes that they will come around tho #sunchat

Relationships with our Ss have a lifetime impact - be that encouraging force #sunchat

JamieArmin - Moderator May 8 @ 9:44 AM EDT

@PenroseTutoring All awesome!!! #sunchat

mthayer_nj May 8 @ 9:44 AM EDT

@Peebles142 We also have to not beat ourselves up when those relationships DON’T develop. Flipside of caring is feeling rejected. #sunchat

joycschultz May 8 @ 9:44 AM EDT

#sunchat it's not the subject we teach- it's our relationships Ss remember - we R the weather in the room

  @JeremyDBond teaching has made me a different parent too! I'm consistent and clear as much as possible #sunchat

mthayer_nj May 8 @ 9:45 AM EDT

@dayankee Something all students should know - we adults have their backs, but we hope they connect with at least some of us. #sunchat

PenroseTutoring May 8 @ 9:45 AM EDT

@PMcPeake1 Yes. However there are some homes not broken and the kids are not learning what they should from home #sunchat

dayankee May 8 @ 9:46 AM EDT

@mthayer_nj Exactly. Well said! #sunchat

mthayer_nj May 8 @ 9:46 AM EDT

@barrowsscience @Peebles142 Yup. Just another authority figure in a life (presumably) full of them. So it goes. #sunchat

I've had people in their 90's relate tell me things a T once told them. Words are powerful. #sunchat

#sunchat total the hours we have w/Ss- it's more than most. Make it count.

mthayer_nj May 8 @ 9:47 AM EDT

@PMcPeake1 @dayankee @Peebles142 And we have to not feel bad if Ss cannot. They’re the ones who are developing - we are the adults. #sunchat

@Sharieloveslife Wow, that's great! #sunchat

luvbcd May 8 @ 9:48 AM EDT

Ss wrote a Friday Letter about a favoritel T. I emailed Ts what students wrote about them. Great way to celebrate T Appreciation #sunchat

dayankee May 8 @ 9:48 AM EDT

@mthayer_nj @PMcPeake1 @Peebles142 right. We have to realize that they are still learning how to develop relationships #sunchat

@luvbcd This is such a thoughtful and inspirational activity. Purposeful and authentic indeed. #Sunchat

One S last week surprised. "How did you know that?" I told her, "I'm listening all the time." #sunchat

DennisDill May 8 @ 9:50 AM EDT

@dayankee My kids may never remember anything specific I taught them, but they will remember the spirit in which I taught. #sunchat

dayankee May 8 @ 9:51 AM EDT

@DennisDill Exactly. That is what they take out into the world. That is your influence! Makes the world better #sunchat

joycschultz May 8 @ 9:51 AM EDT

#sunchat it's important to really notice and speak to Ss as individuals. Some go all day w/out it.

DebbyCall6 May 8 @ 9:54 AM EDT

@DennisDill @dayankee Agreed!!! That intentional component is key, and often easily overlooked. Listen w/ intent, not to respond. #Sunchat

@DennisDill #sunchat do the reverse- I've had Ss do any I asked because I showed compassion
