It's time for teacher bonding.

Not too long ago I attended a parent information session for elementary school parents. That meeting went over a lot of information to prepare parents for the upcoming school year. But nothing prepared the audience for the amount of teacher animosity there would be. I thought I was watching a middle school dramatization. The students had better body language than the staff that was rolling their eyes and exhaling every twenty minutes. Some were having their own conversations, ignoring the speakers. But nothing could top the speakers. The rookie gave a great bit about how enthusiastic she was about the upcoming year. The speaker after her apologized for her “talking our heads off” because she was still new. To this day that is still the most memorable information session ever. But at the same time that was just sad to see professionals attacking one another. Educators might have the worst luck when comes to boring meeting and crazy working environments so I think if would be a great idea to transform one of the meetings into an icebreaker session, giving each teacher the opportunity to talk and get to know one another. They do it with their students why not take then time out the make the teaching bond just as grand.
