I feel like I see a lot of posts/comments that say “oh my students know I love them but…” … and I see this a lot when discussing LGBTQ+ issues and race. Genuinely, how do you actually know you’re students think this? For example, when you intentionally miss pronoun someone or refuse to make an attempt at their preferred pronoun, what is the concrete data that lets you know kids “know you care about them”?

We, as educators, manifest our love to our students by educating them, helping them, showing them that they are valued, making sure their assignments are completed.
Their part of love might manifest after they know that you never give up on them and sometimes it takes years before they even realize that just as one experience that I had when a student saw me from a distance and called me and came to give me a big hug. When I had her, I was that student’s worst enemy.

I know this because I’m the teacher they come to when they have issues.
I’m the teacher that they tell their secrets too. (I’ve had students off all kinds come to me).
They know I love them (not matter who or what they are) because I show them I love them.
Do some kids not like me? Of course.
But I try and show them they are loved for who they are.

I would not have known how to respond except I had a student ask for a hug from me 2x then email me a thank you at the end of the year.

I know my students love me because they are willing to be vulnerable with me, confide in me, and even after they move on to another grade, they come and find me to tell me how they are doing and share what is going on in their world…

Mutual respect and trust that they are important. I have had kids ask to come home with me, of course that's not possible, but they feel valued. At least that is my guess from what they tell me later on.

For all the comments that express that you know students know they love you: If that sentiment comes with the belief pronoun use doesn't matter, and you disregard their wishes, they also know you don't truly respect them.

Any advice re: moving to in-house for coms from an agency, ideally with a focus on internal or corporate communications? I have a few years of agency experience and a very robust writing background. In-house roles seem harder to find than agency ones which I keep getting recruited for. I'm not 100% opposed to an agency, but all of mine have burned me out, and my friends doing in-house coms for big orgs seem to have much better work life balance, higher salary, & are overall much happier. Tysm!
