LET YOU’R GOOD BE BETTER AND YOUR BETTER BE YOUR BEST

I cannot wait to observe in the lower grades

I have been reflecting on my observations: Seeing the students totally not care what is going on—

And I wonder….are the younger kids the same? I am really frustrated because I am not sure if I want to teach any more. Even though I don’t doubt my ability to reach the students… I am scared that they will be totally apathetic to what I want to teach.

I am in love with English. If it were a man I would marry it. During my observations though, it doesn’t seem like the other teachers are “in love.” There is one teacher who appears to really enjoy what he is teaching, but he doesn’t follow through. What I mean by not following through is he fails to reach the students.

I am not okay with FAILURE. Maybe that is the first thing I have to learn—failure.

I am the type of person who feels that anything is possible if one just tries hard enough. Key word “try.”

Trying was not something I noticed to many students doing.

Why have we failed as instructors?
