Week 4: Adair
I love the box of chocolates metaphor! SO TRUE! In chocolate boxes, almost
every single piece of candy is different and one cannot help, but try them all.
We do not necessarily like all of them, but you have to give them all a chance.
As a teacher, it is important to look for what you do like in every single student and accept
the good with the bad. Now I need to go eat some chocolate :)
Week 4: Livvy
I love the Buddha quote. It is nice to hear others' thoughts
and advice about students, but sometimes it gives us preconceived notions that
hinder our ideas about that student. We need to make sure we are listening to
this advice, but not allowing it to cloud our vision of students. We need to
start every student out on a "blank slate". We need to reflect and
ask ourselves unbiased questions. Like you said, we teach because it is in our
nature to do good. So, let's do our best with every student by not letting
their reputations alter our efforts.
