I feel a bit different appoaching this year but, I can't let go of the nervous.
For several years, I was looking for teacher's to do more for my kids. I moved them to a gifted school last year and it has been better. This year, I want my kids to approach school more ambitously with better organization. I want them to really step up, even if it's not all perfect for them and show what they are capable of and take pride. They are pretty good students. I have some knowledge of promoting this desire but,I don't feel like I got it right in the past. I need to give less advice so they can figure it out, listen more and encourage the drive they already have. I also want to be a better example for them.
Somewhere, I heard "do your best and someone will notice". I think this will encourage getting more of what they need in life.
