One of the less appealing duties of a shabbat school teacher is having to tell parents when their kids need to make more of an effort, or have in some other way performed below expectations. I’m not carpentry-inclined, but I’d rather deal with cabinet hardware sometimes, than tell a parent their kid could be trying harder or behaving better.
But ultimately, most parents understand. It’s not that some kids are better or worse than others. It’s that kids are kids. Sometimes they try hard and sometimes… they’re kids.
