We recently have a parent-teacher conference, I realized that a parent and a teacher are on the same boat.
As a teacher, we have parental control over our students while in school. We have to discipline them, correct their acts and guide them not just teach them lessons in all subject areas. Just like biological parents do at home. Parents as well were the first teachers.
But sometimes, students act differently in school, some are industrious due to incentives or their afrraid of their teachers, some are talkative since they cannot speak up at home, some seek attention from teachers and classmates since they are left out at home, some are lazy to do tasks in school since they have a lot of responsibilities at home or none at all.
Its quite amusing to know that students would believe or obey their teachers rather than their parents in certain situation, Like my niece and nephew at home who will not follow what I say but reply to me "hambal ni ma'am.." , that I would say " ti, ma'am man ako", in that case I'm the parent not the teacher!
Whatever situation the students are in, parents and teachers should work hand in hand since the teachers are the eyes - and - ears of parents in school to hone the totality of students' personalities.
