on parenting

Posted on January 13, 2007

I took a leave today from my maternity leave to conduct PCTC (Parent-Child-Teacher Conference) with my former TIC class. PCTC’s have always been somewhat of a dreaded thing for me and my co-teachers. We always get all sorts of parents. Good thing though that my class’ parents are mostly nice parents. Not to mention that they feel obliged to be nicer to a very pregnant teacher, hehe!

My experiences so far with different kinds of parents has brought confusion as to how parenting should be. We discovered that we have good kids with crappy parents, makes one wonder how such parents could raise such great kids. There’s also another side to this coin: crappy kids with great parents, makes one wonder why such kids turned out to be lacking when they have great people for parents. Makes me wonder what kind of parents we will be like and the kind of kids we are going to have.
