The Teacher
I just read an interesting piece about a teacher who believed that he had failed as a teacher and questioned his ability. It made me think about my own journey as a teacher. I recall a time when I was having an off day. I was whining to colleague about not being able to "get it together" in this class. He said to me, "Your bad days are better than most others good days." I smiled. I know he was trying to make me feel better, but later in the day, I really pondered what he had said. "My bad day was better than most other teachers." That was scary. What is happening in the other classrooms? I refuse to believe that I was that unique. I cared about my kids first and believed that if I was doing things in the best interest of my kids, then I was doing the right thing. All my decisions, all my planning was made with my students in mind first. What did they have to know? What did they need from me? How could I help them to reach their goals? Yes, I was hired to teach a subject, but was I really? I was hired to teach children.
