If more teachers had that attitude, more students would go home each day with more "poker chips" than usual.Nitzana Floydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00216851449171854841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3725285395319049030.post-50012695722256624032009-03-11T19:37:00.000-04:002009-03-11T19:37:00.000-04:00I too have seen this in my students.

I have some of these students and I have found with good positive reinforcement over the year they start to open up and really take off. It seems like the student who start off bad end up the best.Dallas,Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13538280046256806654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3725285395319049030.post-6591729334647503422009-03-10T09:54:00.000-04:002009-03-10T09:54:00.000-04:00How true it is that our students learn on differen...How true it is that our students learn on different days, levels, times, etc. Wouldn't it be wonderful if they were all on the same page everyday? I wonder if we would be bored though?? One of the reasons I enjoy teaching is the challenge it gives me to also become a better person. I liked your statement, "I am the one who is better for having known them". Although I do not have years of teaching experience under my belt yet, I do believe the students teach us in many ways. We must learn to adapt, stretch, accommodate, modify, release, extend, incorporate and on and on. But, I value these changes in myself as they do not always come so easy. As teachers we continue to mold not only our students but ourselves as well.Linda Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17673352320670749218noreply@blogger.com
