Turns out, teachers want way more than just sharpened pencils before school starts! They’re begging parents to get kids back on a sleep schedule, read together daily (even just 5 minutes!), practice opening lunch packages, and encourage independence (yes, bathroom skills count). Bonus points for teaching kids to ask for help and talk about kindness. Forget the fancy supplies—these are the real back-to-school essentials teachers crave! #Education #BackToSchool #ParentingTips
