@owlsomekinders: As a parent, I understand that we want to do all the things for these kids. As a teacher, I will tell you this is not setting them up for success. We need to try to teach some independence as early as we can so instead of parents doing all the things for them and packing up these kids backpacks you can do it, but then have them go back and recheck it to make sure they have all the items that they need. #kindergartenteacher #teachersoftiktok #owlsomekinders #independence

I correct my first graders when they say "mom/dad forgot my folder". Nope. No sir. It is not your mom's folder!

I always tell them, “Your grown-up is not in Kindergarten, you are. It is YOUR job to remember your _________.”

This is great. Word of advice, make sure your sunglasses doesn’t reflect the children. I can see your adorable babies on your shades 😊

I still have this conversation with 9th grade students in high school. “You don’t have your assignment because your mom threw it out? Well, in that case, I should call and yell at your mom because why would she do such a thing?” Suddenly, they want to take some accountability because they know that I’m not bluffing. I’ll make that phone call.😂

Yesss! 2nd grade teachers and the number of times I hear “my mom didn’t put my folder in my bookbag” my response is always “it’s not your moms folder. It’s your job”

Thank you so much. I teach High School and the amount of parents who bring up items that students have “forgotten” at home is more this year than ever in my 32 years of teaching.

My kids now in high school and middle school no better than to call me if they forgot something. Sorry about your luck. Have to learn the consequences. Started this with them in elementary school.

One of my fourth graders kept forgetting a signed paper and mom messaged me saying it’s her fault because we can’t expect 10 year olds to remember their stuff yet. Ma’am. Yes we can.
