On February 19, 2013, 11 students were ushered into the TWA library blindfolded. Parents, grandparents, teachers and staff looked on as they were asked to take off the blindfolds. They were being inducted into the

National Honor Society. To be inducted into the National Honor Society (NHS), students must excel in various ways. High School juniors, who meet the high grade point average standards, are eligible to apply for membership into the NHS. Grades alone, however, are not enough to gain membership. Students must also demonstrate excellence in the four pillars of the National Honor Society which are Scholarship, Character, Leadership

and Service.

Congratulations Inductees

What teachers really want to tell parents– CNN.com

BY RON CLARK

Editor's note: Ron Clark, author of "The End of Molasses Classes: Getting Our Kids Unstuck -- 101 Ex-traordinary Solutions for Parents and Teachers," has been named "American Teacher of the Year" by Disney and was Oprah Winfrey's pick as her "Phenomenal Man." He founded The Ron Clark Academy, which educators from around the world have visited to learn.

(CNN) -- This summer, I met a principal who was recently named as the administrator of the year in her

state. She was loved and adored by all, but she told me she was leaving the profession.

I screamed, "You can't leave us," and she quite bluntly replied, "Look, if I get an offer to lead a school

system of orphans, I will be all over it, but I just can't deal with parents anymore; they are killing us."

Unfortunately, this sentiment seems to be becoming more and more prevalent. Today, new teachers re-

main in our profession an average of just 4.5 years, and many of them list "issues with parents" as one

of their reasons for throwing in the towel. Word is spreading, and the more negativity teachers receive

from parents, the harder it becomes to recruit the best and the brightest out of colleges.

So, what can we do to stem the tide? What do teachers really need parents to understand?

For starters, we are educators, not nannies. We are educated professionals who work with kids every

day and often see your child in a different light than you do. If we give you advice, don't fight it. Take it,

and digest it in the same way you would consider advice from a doctor or lawyer. I have become used to

some parents who just don't want to hear anything negative about their child, but sometimes if you're

willing to take early warning advice to heart, it can help you head off an issue that could become much

greater in the future.

Trust us. At times when I tell parents that their child has been a behavior problem, I can almost see the

hairs rise on their backs. They are ready to fight and defend their child, and it is exhausting. One of my

biggest pet peeves is when I tell a mom something her son did and she turns, looks at him and asks, "Is

that true?" Well, of course it's true. I just told you. And please don't ask whether a classmate can confirm

what happened or whether another teacher might have been present. It only demeans teachers and

weakens the partnership between teacher and parent. Teachers vs. parents: Round two

Please quit with all the excuses

And if you really want to help your children be successful, stop making excuses for them. I was talking

with a parent and her son about his summer reading assignments. He told me he hadn't started, and I let

him know I was extremely disappointed because school starts in two weeks.

His mother chimed in and told me that it had been a horrible summer for them because of family issues

they'd been through in July. I said I was so sorry, but I couldn't help but point out that the assignments

were given in May. She quickly added that she was allowing her child some "fun time" during the sum-

mer before getting back to work in July and that it wasn't his fault the work wasn't complete.

Can you feel my pain? Some parents will make excuses regardless of the situation, and they are raising children who will grow into adults who turn toward excuses and do not create a strong work ethic. If you don't want your child to end up 25 and jobless, sitting on your couch eating potato chips, then stop making excuses for why they aren't succeeding. Instead, focus on finding solutions.

Parents, be a partner instead of a prosecutor

RED RAIDER PARENT

And parents, you know, it's OK for your child to get in trouble sometimes. It builds character and teaches

life lessons. As teachers, we are vexed by those parents who stand in the way of those lessons; we call

them helicopter parents because they want to swoop in and save their child every time something goes

wrong. If we give a child a 79 on a project, then that is what the child deserves. Don't set up a time to

meet with me to negotiate extra credit for an 80. It's a 79, regardless of whether you think it should be a

B+. This one may be hard to accept, but you shouldn't assume that because your child makes straight

A's that he/she is getting a good education. The truth is, a lot of times it's the bad teachers who give the

easiest grades, because they know by giving good grades everyone will leave them alone. Parents will

say, "My child has a great teacher! He made all A's this year!" Wow. Come on now. In all honesty, it's

usually the best teachers who are giving the lowest grades, because they are raising expectations. Yet,

when your children receive low scores you want to complain and head to the principal's office.

Please, take a step back and get a good look at the landscape. Before you challenge those low grades

you feel the teacher has "given" your child, you might need to realize your child "earned" those grades

and that the teacher you are complaining about is actually the one that is providing the best education. And please, be a partner instead of a prosecutor. I had a child cheat on a test, and his parents threatened to call a lawyer because I was labeling him a criminal. I know that sounds crazy, but principals all across the country are telling me that more and more lawyers are accompanying parents for school meetings dealing with their children.

Teachers walking on eggshells

I feel so sorry for administrators and teachers these days whose hands are completely tied. In many

ways, we live in fear of what will happen next. We walk on eggshells in a watered-down education system

where teachers lack the courage to be honest and speak their minds. If they make a slight mistake, it can

become a major disaster.

My mom just told me a child at a local school wrote on his face with a permanent marker. The teacher

tried to get it off with a wash cloth, and it left a red mark on the side of his face. The parent called the me-

dia, and the teacher lost her job. My mom, my very own mother, said, "Can you believe that woman did

that?" I felt hit in the gut. I honestly would have probably tried to get the mark off as well. To think that we

might lose our jobs over something so minor is scary. Why would anyone want to enter our profession? If

our teachers continue to feel threatened and scared, you will rob our schools of our best and handcuff our

efforts to recruit tomorrow's outstanding educators.

Finally, deal with negative situations in a professional manner.

If your child said something happened in the classroom that concerns you, ask to meet with the teacher

and approach the situation by saying, "I wanted to let you know something my child said took place in

your class, because I know that children can exaggerate and that there are always two sides to every

story. I was hoping you could shed some light for me." If you aren't happy with the result, then take your

concerns to the principal, but above all else, never talk negatively about a teacher in front of your child. If

he knows you don't respect her, he won't either, and that will lead to a whole host of new problems.

We know you love your children. We love them, too. We just ask -- and beg of you -- to trust us, support

us and work with the system, not against it. We need you to have our backs, and we need you to give us

the respect we deserve. Lift us up and make us feel appreciated, and we will work even harder to give

your child the best education possible. That's a teacher's promise, from me to you.
