Margaret shared "I've been told not to send {welcome} postcards [to
students]because it makes parents call and want their students
transferred to my class!"There are many instances where a teacher wants to do something valuable for their students and where policies or ideology at the building level are different than that of the teacher. This often prevents the event, activity or gesture from being utilized. I think the practice of stifling a teacher is unfair and would love tips on how to counteract the ever present, " You can not do __________ because you make other teachers look bad." statement. -- Tena _______________________________________________ The Literacy Workshop ListServ http://www.literacyworkshop.org To unsubscribe or modify your membership please go to http://literacyworkshop.org/mailman/options/lit_literacyworkshop.org.
