Reply To: teachers tying the children's shoelaces.

I would like to make a number of points,

a) I teach fifth grade, I do not spend my time tying laces, started this thread on behalf of someone else, who is very compassinate, and spends a lot of the day helping children with various tasks

b) I do not think that it so unreasonable to think before you buy your children shoes that the teacher will probably end up tying the laces many, many more times than you.

c) I find it wrong that many children in the third or fourth grades still do not know how to their laces.

d) remember that the teacher is tying the same child’s laces again and again. this is not going to encourage her to like your child.

e) I personally prefer teaching slightly older children, I do not know if I would have the patience for younger ones.

f) sorry no fancy name, but i am used to typing on autocorrect.

g) I am a little upset and offended by some of the sarcasm. i also think that it is unreasonable to have names like “only normal guy around”, and i am interested in knowing the moderators red lines.

h) this conversation has come up numerous times in the staff room, it is not a new one.
