"Teaching is more than helping a child master a subject, each classroom is a composite of the anguish and the joy of all its students." (Page 6) There are so many people who genuinely believe teaching is only instructing the children through book work and classroom material when it is far beyond that.]]> 2018-10-04 17:05:19 UTC https://padlet.com/carusocm01/4key53fzg0b2/wish/289271319 carusocm01 https://padlet.com/carusocm01/4key53fzg0b2/wish/289272402 "Many teachers feel that the satisfaction they realize inside the classroom is often jeopardized by forces beyond the classroom." (Page 9). Teachers goes through a lot in a day in the classroom having to deal with each and every student and their feelings and thoughts, but there are so many outside forces such as politicians with mandated tests and curriculum, and parents wishes for their children that teachers have to think about more than just the students every day.]]> 2018-10-04 17:06:51 UTC https://padlet.com/carusocm01/4key53fzg0b2/wish/289272402 carusocm01 https://padlet.com/carusocm01/4key53fzg0b2/wish/289277212 "Teachers are born not made" (Page 16). Not everyone is meant to be a teacher, or should be a teacher. Being passionate about the subject you are teaching and 'liking kids' is so little of the profession.

(Page 27) I think this is really important to improve the mindsets of young kids because they can grow to believe that they are born to only do certain things, or they can believe life has no limit and want to achieve whatever they possibly dream of in life.]]> 2018-10-04 18:34:07 UTC https://padlet.com/carusocm01/4key53fzg0b2/wish/289331121 carusocm01 https://padlet.com/carusocm01/4key53fzg0b2/wish/289333507 2018-10-04 18:38:03 UTC https://padlet.com/carusocm01/4key53fzg0b2/wish/289333507 carusocm01 https://padlet.com/carusocm01/4key53fzg0b2/wish/289336275 "Disrespectful behavior has become a commonplace, and Gardner believes we should teach children to develop respectful minds." (Page 29) Children are growing up in an era where cursing, fighting, acting out, disrespecting elders and the people around us, and I think it needs to change.

(Page 36) No child is the exact same. In a classroom of 5, 10, or 20 kids you still have a wide range of what each child needs and their capacity of what they can do for a whole day at school.

(Page 52) Each child in one classroom has grown up in a different household with different views of life. They grow in different cultural backgrounds even different from the teacher. Therefore, the classroom has to meet a common ground where each student can feel apart of the environment, welcomed and understood.]]> 2018-10-04 22:49:10 UTC https://padlet.com/carusocm01/4key53fzg0b2/wish/289413191 carusocm01 https://padlet.com/carusocm01/4key53fzg0b2/wish/289413749 "Even the most well-meaning educators come to school with an unconscious bias." (Page 54) As we are all human, we will always have some sort of opinions about everyone that we keep to ourselves. Even the best of the best will have thoughts on situations each and everyday, but it is for the best for both the teacher and the student to keep those thoughts inside although it may be hard to do.]]> 2018-10-04 22:53:49 UTC https://padlet.com/carusocm01/4key53fzg0b2/wish/289413749 carusocm01 https://padlet.com/carusocm01/4key53fzg0b2/wish/289415571 Just because someone views something differently than you, does not give you the right to think that you are right in the situation.]]> 2018-10-04 23:06:12 UTC https://padlet.com/carusocm01/4key53fzg0b2/wish/289415571 carusocm01 https://padlet.com/carusocm01/4key53fzg0b2/wish/289415793 "Student's do not have to agree that 'it's okay to be gay', but they should understand that 'it's not okay to discriminate against those who are gay.'" (Page 59) The LGBTQ community has struggled immensely the past few decades, and I feel personally that we are finally reaching a standpoint where 'being gay' or identifying oneself as transgender is becoming acceptable. Teachers have to go to lengths to become familiar with it because school is where kids will typically just find out about this if they were not taught at home]]> 2018-10-04 23:07:46 UTC https://padlet.com/carusocm01/4key53fzg0b2/wish/289415793 carusocm01 https://padlet.com/carusocm01/4key53fzg0b2/wish/289416483 I feel like this chapter is very blunt with some of the mainstream discrimination that students face in the school system. Teachers need to be prepared for the kids who will have questions or even those who face troubles with race, gender, culture diversity, religion, or even sexuality. Teachers need to be open to all sorts of cultural views and be able to have open minds and hearts to every child.]]> 2018-10-04 23:12:38 UTC https://padlet.com/carusocm01/4key53fzg0b2/wish/289416483 carusocm01 https://padlet.com/carusocm01/4key53fzg0b2/wish/289416798 Every student is different with the styles of learning that they need. Each child has their favorite ways to learn, and things they hate to do. Each kid has strengths and weaknesses that are unique and their own. Teachers should be able to effectively meet each and every one of their students needs everyday which can become super challenging, but that is why teachers have such an important job. Without the teacher molding their lessons to each student, it would be impossible for kids to learn and develop.]]> 2018-10-04 23:14:42 UTC https://padlet.com/carusocm01/4key53fzg0b2/wish/289416798 carusocm01 https://padlet.com/carusocm01/4key53fzg0b2/wish/289417265 2018-10-04 23:18:07 UTC https://padlet.com/carusocm01/4key53fzg0b2/wish/289417265 carusocm01 https://padlet.com/carusocm01/4key53fzg0b2/wish/289417410 Each student has something different that they can bring to the world and our future.

There is so much time that students have wasted through minor things at school such as announcements, changing classes, attendance, passing out materials, talking, etc. that it is so hard for the teacher to manage the time they have.
