Wanna Help Keep A Teacher at a School (or just help)?

The best way for a parent or community member to help a teacher is to write a letter to the principal and superintendent expressing your profound gratitude, and amazement at how the teacher performs. Tell about all the exciting things your child talks about at home that have nothing to do with school. Write about the academic language your child is able to use and understand. Write about how excited your child is every day to go to school, because they love their teacher. Write about it. All of it. Often. Ask for replies back from the administrators you write to about the great teacher.

It is the only proof there is that we are doing anything good!

Update: Give the teacher a copy!
