I enjoy meeting parents on one level: the sincere parents who are genuinely interested in their children and their education.
I like talking to a lot of parents but last week at Open House I had a lot of parents in the audience who kept giving me these looks so maybe it was my perception but none of them bothered to introduce themselves. This was in a classroom with a lot of students who are non Black. Some of my parents are WONDERFUL and I LOVE THEM. There are some parents who I sit at games with and have a rapport with who extend the relationship past the classroom. I am a people person and I enjoy talking
-- like y'all didn't know huh?? Some parents just come off as standoffish and they are the ones who fall in the above category.
