Perhaps therapist was the wrong word. Many schools have health officers who act as emotional support staff that work with students.
I believe all educators have a duty to the well-being of the student ovet the parents. Students are people too, not a thing that parents own until they turn 18. They should be afforded confidentiality too.
Parents should be aware of what is going on in their kids’ lives.
This means being a parent and actively being involved in their life. It does not mean abusing the trust that kids give to teachers, councilors, therapists and other adults they might confide in.
“Let us prey together”
Learning everything the hard way has made me a natural consultant and mentor. Because I’ve already explored all the wrong paths, I often know someone is stuck before they do, understand what threw them off course, and show them how to get back on track
This really hits home and is something I simply don’t see often in juniors today - a desire to tinker, experiment or ‘play’ to figure out how a problem might be solved. I’m always telling them to allow themselves to struggle for at least an hour or two before asking for help.
I deleted the app and reinstalled. ‘Delete account’ is confusing - am I deleting it from the app or from the server entirely? I feel there is could be a better word to describe removing the account from just the app.
Imagine depending on your creditor, who also happens to be your employer, for the very oxygen you breathe. This would be like a company town x1000.
Hey sorry, I really wasn’t looking for a long argument here, just wanted to clarify my earlier comment.
But yes, we have different viewpoints. I have kids. I would feel responsible for the window because it’s my kid and that’s reasonable and what society expects. If my kid wanted to talk to their teacher about something in private I’m ok with that.
They obviously won’t share literally everything, but if my kids have a problem trusting me then I’m failing as a parent.
