Teachers have it tough. Underpaid, resourced and appreciated, these guardians of the next generation do an amazing job ensuring that our kids get an education, doing their best to deliver results in trying circumstances.

But they need help from parents. Many kids don’t enjoy going to school at the best of times – and it makes a teacher’s job even harder if they are required to act as a psychological and emotional mentor as well.
This anonymous teacher asks just one favor – send your kids to school in a positive mood. It makes those difficult early years of learning, socializing and just life, in general, a hell of a lot easier when kids know that their parents have their backs at home!

Here’s what people had to say about the emotional letter
my mom screamed at me that my friends hated me before i got on the bus. I was crying surrounded by people I knew but wasn't friends with. It's awful. There's NEVER an excuse.
That is a terrible thing to say to a child. Reminded me of when my mother said 'don't talk to me, I'm not your friend'. Never really forgave her for that one.

Whilst I do agree I also want to point out that sometimes the school/teachers/others students etc are what’s making the kids miserable and sad, so is bastard a correct terminology we parents can use for you too? If it’s good for the goose, it’s good for the gander.
true I had a great home life. but the school was a nightmare.

i always say to my son: i dont wanna fight .. not right before bed nor in the morning before leaving. we never know what happens... when i break my "rule" and i am angry and yell at him, i always! swallow my pride and my anger and apologise and say i love him.
That’s smart. Yelling happens, but it is something you should apologize for and set an example that apologizing is a good thing for anyone to do if they are in the wrong. This is quality parenting.
