About The Teacher

I have come to a frightening conclusion.
I am the decisive element in the classroom.
It is my personal approach that creates the climate.

It is my daily mood that makes the weather.
As a teacher I possess tremendous power to make a child's life miserable or joyous. I can be a tool of torture or an instrument of inspiration. I can humiliate or humor, hurt or heal.
In all situations, it is my response that decides whether a crisis will be escalated or de-escalated, and a child humanized or de-humanized.

My name is Mrs. Laura McGee. This is my eleventh year of teaching. I have taught 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grades. I am married and have four children and three dogs. I enjoy boating, shopping, and spending time with family. I am honored to have the chance to share a year of learning and growing with your most precious possession--your child. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns you may have. My email is laura.mcgee@carteretk12.org and I regularly check it each day.

 

Modern cynics and skeptics... see no harm in paying those to whom they entrust the minds of their children a smaller wage than is paid to those to whom they entrust the care of their plumbing.  ~John F. Kennedy
