Dear parents I say this all the time but WE are our children’s biggest advocates. This boy is mine and I’ll always be his biggest fan til he marries some girl 🙄lol but back to the point of this story.....Last week a teacher wrote me about his grades their improvement but his continued talking and disruption to her teaching ability and her desire to remove him from class to this I responded we need to meet immediately. Today @timothiusbrian, myself and ultimately Taye met with the teacher I was able to explain our expectations of our son, hear her out, explain my understanding of who my son is, his personality, his demeanor why he sometimes gives off a seemingly disrespectful laugh or nonchalance that,it’s not from malicious place but self-preservation. She admitted she gets frustrated with him and has singled him out at times and even apologized, I had him apologize to her for his rude behavior and they discussed ways to move forward together. HS is new territory bc it’s kinda hands off for parents but til he’s out of my care I’ll always dip in when called upon. He’s got a future and I’ve got a responsibility to steward him into it! 😘 #mamabear #papabear #tayebear #blackboyjoy #advocatelikeamother https://www.instagram.com/p/B4V9TCrlGc8EHj8pV42NWyUbJo2nDfABPf5VUQ0/?igshid=1nhy9mwcy01xu
