- Your teachers know more than you, despite your persistent belief to the contrary.
- We trust them.
- They are in your life to teach you, not to deal with your strong affinity to, only, play.
- You want to be as nice to them as possible since they report the happenings of your day to us.
- They make your toys sound cool even though they may not be.
- They are qualified to direct a part of your life just like your mother and me.
- You will need to know those numbers well to count off the money I expect you to return for the investment that is your daily existence.
- They teach you to share and listen and take your time.
- Teachers will take you on fun trips and give you great jobs to do.
- They are essentially stand-ins for me and your mother.
- Disobeying them gets you put out on the street, and you can’t come to my job during the day.
- These teachers actually care about you, and you should enjoy and relish that experience because not all of them will care.
- Spontaneous treats.
- They are the ones who’ll be most responsible for you becoming something.
- We tell you to obey them.
- You don’t want me to try to explain slanted lines and how to write an eight.
- Nobody else is there to help you when you have an accident.
- Your teachers earned your respect before you showed up.
- Your whole family expects you to do well in school because you have nothing else to do with your life right now.
- They keep careful notes about your progress, communicate to us regularly, avail themselves for conferences, and give you practice sheets to better than writing of yours.
- Neither of us wants me to keep my word about what happens if you disobey. But, as you know, I will.
