My news story

The Teacher Kid Life: Teacher kids of Glenridge Elementary School 2018.

We did a unit on journalism. This is my news story on teacher kids.  

Teacher kids.   What are they? A teacher kid is student that has a parent who teaches at the same school you go to. Being a teacher kid means you have to get good grades and be on your best  behavior .  There are many teacher kids at Glenridge Elementary in the 2018-2019 school year.

Teacher kids have some advantages. Like Tyson, a student from Glenridge Elementary School. His mom is a  reading teacher. Tyson can get special help with reading since his mom is a reading teacher. But there are some disadvantages. Like Evelyn,  another student from Glenridge Elementary. She is always stuck in the classroom before and after school. One huge advantage that all teacher kids have is that your mom is off during the summer. No boring camps or babysitters for teacher kids!  

Evelyn and Brynna, two students at Glenridge Elementary School, were interviewed. They were asked two questions. First, what is the best part of having yonr parent as a teacher at Glenridge is “there is not much to do in her office.”

Maryn, a former Glenridge student now at Wydown Middle School, was also interviewed. Her dad works at Glenridge Elementary School as a science teacher.  Have you ever wondered what a middle schoolers favorite part of their parent being a teacher was? Well, Maryn was asked this question. Maryn said her favorite part of her dad teaching in Glenridge School is that “It's a really nice school district and if he didn't  teach there I wouldn't go to the school district.” Being a teacher kid is not all fun. Maryn was asked, “What is your least favorite part of being a teacher kid?” Maryn said “Kids think I will change their grade if they are mean to me or they do bad in school. I don’t have any control of the science grades.”  

Have you ever wondered about a teacher's perspective on their kid going to school ? Well, two teachers from Glenridge Elementary School were interviewed. Mrs. Barnes and  Mrs. Nichols . Their favorite part of their kid going to Glenridge was seeing them during the school day. But, having your kid go to the same school you teach at isn't all fun and games.  They were asked, “What is your least favorite part about your child going to Glenridge?” Mrs. Barnes said, “Not being able to ask my child many questions about their day.” Mrs. Nichols said, “having trouble getting work done after school.”

Overall, being teacher kid is great. Not many kids get to be a teacher kid. It's not something you can choose. So, if you are teacher kid enjoy it.  There are a lot of advantages to it. I think the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.
