MrShockney Jan 26 @ 11:05 PM EST

---> Q1 What do you wish parents could know about teaching in the classroom?#SDUHSDchat

meyerteacher Jan 26 @ 11:06 PM EST

A1) It's fun. However, teachers are juggling lots of input and making many decisions on the fly. #sduhsdchat

RJCaughey Jan 26 @ 11:07 PM EST

A1. The challenges or working with 41 volatile and wonderful 16 year olds. They might struggle with one, we have many more. #sduhsdchat

kfairchild6 - Moderator Jan 26 @ 11:07 PM EST

A1 Assume good intentions. We're doing our best, not intentionally trying to ruin [your child's] education. #SDUHSDchat

SherrilBrice Jan 26 @ 11:07 PM EST

#sduhsdchat Hi, Sherril Brice Math/Independent Study and BTSA. Home school LCCHS

BjornPaige Jan 26 @ 11:07 PM EST

Hi, I'm Bjorn, principal at San Dieguito HS Academy, and just swinging in to #SDUHSDchat between soccer, basketball, and ELAC.

BjornPaige Jan 26 @ 11:08 PM EST

A1: I wish parents could see how hard teachers work to really connect with their students in the classroom every day. #SDUHSDchat

kfairchild6 - Moderator Jan 26 @ 11:09 PM EST

A1 Also there are 10^7 considerations in the world of education, of which they are not aware of 10^6. (Nor should they.) #SDUHSDchat

SherrilBrice Jan 26 @ 11:09 PM EST

#sduhsdchat A1 - Teaching isn't simply delivering curriculum. It is an art of communication, caring, and supporting growth and learning.

kfairchild6 - Moderator Jan 26 @ 11:09 PM EST

Welcome @BjornPaige and @SherrilBrice ! #SDUHSDchat

MrShockney Jan 26 @ 11:10 PM EST

#SDUHSDchat Q2 coming up in 1 minute

MrShockney Jan 26 @ 11:11 PM EST

---> Q2 What do you wish parents knew about students or student life? #SDUHSDchat

MadameButler Jan 26 @ 11:11 PM EST

A1-That we are partners in their kids' education. Takes a village. And, that we LOVE those Starbucks gift cards. #SDUHSDchat

RJCaughey Jan 26 @ 11:12 PM EST

A2. I wish they knew how much intrinsic and extrinsic pressure our students face. Their struggle is real. #sduhsdchat

meyerteacher Jan 26 @ 11:12 PM EST

Q2) #sduhsdchat One thing I'd want parents to recognize is the pace at which students are shifting gears all day long. Let them rest.

kfairchild6 - Moderator Jan 26 @ 11:12 PM EST

A2 I'd like to suggest that many parents should know LESS. It's OK to let go and let kids grow up and learn on their own. #SDUHSDchat

BjornPaige Jan 26 @ 11:12 PM EST

A2 As a parent myself, I try to be cognizant of how complicated being a kid can be & how different it is than when I was young. #SDUHSDchat

SherrilBrice Jan 26 @ 11:13 PM EST

#sduhsdchat A2 Students behave, communicate and work differently in a group of peers than in a family group.

meyerteacher Jan 26 @ 11:14 PM EST

A2) I'd want them to know that students often behave better at school than they do at home. #sduhsdchat

kfairchild6 - Moderator Jan 26 @ 11:15 PM EST

@BjornPaige Yes, digital communication is one huge thing that has changed adolescence since we were that age! #SDUHSDchat

MrShockney Jan 26 @ 11:15 PM EST

@meyerteacher —> or worse sometimes. #sduhsdchat. I just keep them with me.

SherrilBrice Jan 26 @ 11:15 PM EST

@BjornPaige #sduhsdchat Agreed. That technology in their pocket or purse is a game changer.

BjornPaige Jan 26 @ 11:16 PM EST

@kfairchild6 So much! ...and yet some of the behaviors are the same, even if the delivery of them is wildly different! #SDUHSDchat

kfairchild6 - Moderator Jan 26 @ 11:16 PM EST

@meyerteacher Very good point! Once they're away from "dumb old mom and/or dad" #SDUHSDchat

MadameButler Jan 26 @ 11:16 PM EST

@BjornPaige Cleverly folded notes passed across the room were bad enough!Texts? Social Media? Digital footprints?! Help! #SDUHSDchat

MrShockney Jan 26 @ 11:17 PM EST

#SDUHSDchat Q3 coming up in 1 minute

meyerteacher Jan 26 @ 11:17 PM EST

@SherrilBrice @BjornPaige Game changers for sure.but the benefits outweight the drawbacks. Access to info is so much more swift. #sduhsdchat

BjornPaige Jan 26 @ 11:18 PM EST

@MadameButler But I get to do things like Tweet pictures from soccer & basketball (& robotics & plays) and celebrate kids too! #SDUHSDchat

MrShockney Jan 26 @ 11:18 PM EST

---> Q3 What do you wish parents knew about teaching healthy autonomy to students? #SDUHSDchat

SherrilBrice Jan 26 @ 11:18 PM EST

@kfairchild6 @meyerteacher #sduhsdchat It is my understanding that parents regain some wisdom once teenagers grow-up. :)

kfairchild6 - Moderator Jan 26 @ 11:18 PM EST

@meyerteacher @SherrilBrice @BjornPaige Agreed 100%. But we still have to teach Ss how to manage this new territory. #SDUHSDchat

BjornPaige Jan 26 @ 11:18 PM EST

@meyerteacher @MadameButler As some kids would tell us texting is today! #SDUHSDchat

meyerteacher Jan 26 @ 11:19 PM EST

Q3) Middle school is a great training ground for learning problem solving skills with teachers . #sduhsdchat

kfairchild6 - Moderator Jan 26 @ 11:19 PM EST

@SherrilBrice @meyerteacher It's *amazing* how much smarter my parents got when I left the house! #SDUHSDchat @mfairchild47

BjornPaige Jan 26 @ 11:19 PM EST

@kfairchild6 @meyerteacher @SherrilBrice More than ever. #SDUHSDchat

MadameButler Jan 26 @ 11:20 PM EST

@MrShockney @BjornPaige I'm a huge fan of all of the above. I do think kids need guidance in dig citizenship-from home & school. #SDUHSDchat

meyerteacher Jan 26 @ 11:21 PM EST

Q3) It's o.k. to let them fail and learn from it. #sduhsdchat

kfairchild6 - Moderator Jan 26 @ 11:21 PM EST

A3 It's OK for them to have negative experiences sometimes. Not all the time, but once in a while. They'll manage. #SDUHSDchat

BjornPaige Jan 26 @ 11:22 PM EST

@kfairchild6 @meyerteacher @SherrilBrice I'm reading "It's Complicated" & would recommend it to parents. #SDUHSDchat https://t.co/fC7o9Hwkbf

meyerteacher Jan 26 @ 11:23 PM EST

@BjornPaige @kfairchild6 @SherrilBrice I'm ordering it now. #sduhsdchat

#SDUHSDchat Q4 coming up in 1 minute

kfairchild6 - Moderator Jan 26 @ 11:23 PM EST

Soundtrack for #SDUHSDchat has shifted to Warren Zevon due to Spotify frustration and inspiration from @TheWeirdTeacher .

kfairchild6 - Moderator Jan 26 @ 11:23 PM EST

@BjornPaige @meyerteacher @SherrilBrice Are you planning any parent book chats? #SDUHSDchat

MrShockney Jan 26 @ 11:24 PM EST

---> Q4 What do we wish parents knew about _______. Fill in the blank and elaborate. #SDUHSDchat

CVMSPrincipal Jan 26 @ 11:25 PM EST

Sorry I'm late. Back from prenatal yoga. Good job @MrShockney ! #sduhsdchat

BjornPaige Jan 26 @ 11:25 PM EST

@kfairchild6 @meyerteacher @SherrilBrice Yep. "How to Raise an Adult" by Julie Lythcott-Haims sometime in April. #SDUHSDchat

TheWeirdTeacher Jan 26 @ 11:25 PM EST

@kfairchild6 You're welcome. I'm happy to be Mr Bad Example. #sduhsdchat

BjornPaige Jan 26 @ 11:25 PM EST

@MrShockney @kfairchild6 @meyerteacher @SherrilBrice I think "It's Complicated" could be a good Book Club book. #SDUHSDchat

CVMSPrincipal Jan 26 @ 11:26 PM EST

Q4 Talking with their kid honestly and OPENLY about the struggles of being a teen. Don't shut them out or overprotect them. #sduhsdchat

SherrilBrice Jan 26 @ 11:27 PM EST

@CVMSPrincipal @MrShockney Congratulations :):):) #sduhsdchat

kfairchild6 - Moderator Jan 26 @ 11:27 PM EST

A4 I wish parents really understood the constraints on teachers from district, country, state, federal agencies. #SDUHSDchat

kfairchild6 - Moderator Jan 26 @ 11:28 PM EST

I didn't even get it until I moved to the DO and saw the [stuff] they have to take care of, that Ts and Ps never see. #SDUHSDchat

meyerteacher Jan 26 @ 11:29 PM EST

@BjornPaige @CVMSPrincipal @Robby_Shockney I wonder what would be involved in starting this book club read with our parents. #sduhsdchat

SherrilBrice Jan 26 @ 11:29 PM EST

#sduhsdchat A4 I wish parents would embrace that students earn grades.

BjornPaige Jan 26 @ 11:29 PM EST

A4 I wish parents could see how different school is today than 15 years ago and wish kids could see all the ways it's the same! #SDUHSDchat

MrShockney Jan 26 @ 11:30 PM EST
