🖍 The Parent's Guide to Elementary School
Hi, I'm Natalie, former elementary school teacher and founder of the UA-cam Channel Primary Focus. Primary Focus teaches parents everything teachers wish they knew, from how to thrive in the classroom to how to keep learning at home.
Part of my reason for leaving teaching was the disconnect between parents and teachers, so I created Primary Focus to educate and prepare parents to work with their children's teachers at all stages of learning, not just when there is an issue. Parents and teachers working together is key to any child's success, and Primary Focus gives parents all the tools they need to make that happen.

This a great idea! I’ll begin one with my family 🎉
Thank goodness these books are banned. It has been shocking to see the degradation of our society!
My teacher has a lululemon bag under her desk 😂
Or, you know, be appreciative of the thought. They could have not given you anything. Furthermore, I know A LOT of teachers that LOVE school supplies as gifts and putting it in a tower or creative arrangement they appreciate because again it shows you put time and thought into it. - Another Teacher

No need to be angry. Seriously. There’s a gracious way to let us know a then there’s ungrateful.
Yk what’s funny? My teachers favorite bag is her Victoria’s Secret bag.
From my teacher, Miss Rush she literally has everything from Victoria’s Secret
I gave my teacher a happy teachers day cake lol
😅
Can I give you crocheted stuff?
Chup
Keychain also because friendship will cut
In India our teachers don't want expensive things
In India we only give a teacher pen
Is you are teacher
Me realizing I have giving all of these-😳
Wow even the last one??
That sound is my dads ringtone 😂😂😂
😑
my teachers would be happy with whatever i get them because i spend time on that. she needs to be grateful
My first grader grandson in Southern Illinois told me they aren't allowed to read, no, david in his classroom because it's inappropriate. I asked him what the teacher said is inappropriate and he said when david runs out of the tub naked. 🤦♀️
Wow that’s a shame, whatever happened to a little bit of slapstick humor?
stAtiONaRY!!!!!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤😊
Omg yessss 💌
@@PrimaryFocus I know!!! Right 🤩🤩🤩🤩 It the best thing in the world literally I have 4 big bags 4-5 boxes and it's still not enough
I searched up “Things to give your pookie” but instead I saw a video called 3 gifts teachers don’t want😭
Lolll who knew this sarcastic little video would blow up like this?? I was searching for gifts for my husband and it came up 😂 I hope you found the perfect gift for your pookie
I have lots of mugs and candles. I would love a note from your kiddo. Gift cards to an office supply store is also great. Flare pens and white board markers... yes please.
💯 nailed it!
Wait what was the last one I couldn’t hear it properly
Advances. People flirting with the teacher
Full video linked!
Excellent video! 🙌 As a busy working parent, I really appreciate your compassion for us! I think it’s harder than ever to raise a child. Most families can no longer afford the luxury of one parent staying at home as it was in previous generations. And as the economy worsens, parents are often faced with the choice of hustling more to make ends meet or spending more time with their children. I have definitely spoken to teachers previously to (respectfully) ask them to lighten the homework load. Since we have limited family time, although I do see the value of homework, I definitely don’t want to spend all weekend doing it 😂
Great video, Natalie. Really good reminders for parents to talk to the teachers and trusted administrators when they need help. My mom was a stay-at-home mother, and my dad often worked 2-3 jobs to make up those lost wages. I can't imagine the stress they were under. 🖤
This is such an opportunity for grandparents to provide support!
I also love the perspective that we need to start viewing parents as people helping society! They LITERALLY are raising future generations. They deserve to have basic needs met and more!
What a well done video on such an important subject! I’m so glad to see the surgeon general addressing this. When I taught in public school, it was honestly helpful when parents told me they were too overwhelmed with the work going home with their child. Even as a high school teacher, I had no idea what was going on at home unless the child or parent told me. Many of my students had jobs, were taking care of siblings, etc. As a teacher I always want to create LESS stress for my families. Not more. So homework was rare. I do hope some change and policies come out of this news to help stressed families. Great video Natalie!
Such an important topic!
thank you! parents are so important- they deserve a happy life too
"David👻👻"
Kuch samjh nhi aaya😂😂😂😂
Bruh u don’t deserve a gift 😂
My 5 year old when you ask her what she wants to be when she’s a grown up lol you getting a whole 5 year plan 😩🤣

Boor do na
