Flexibility….
The past couple of weeks I must admit have been extremely
stressful. I personally feel that I can hide my stress and work through what
needs to be done. I don’t know per se if I can say, this is what being a
teacher is really about, but I can say that my students saw me as human. I know
I was wearing my stress, etc. on my
sleeves, and I was tired. My students stepped up and did what they needed to do
and did not take advantage of the situation. There were many times, I had to
alter my lessons which required a great deal of flexibility from my students and
there were no complaints (at least I didn’t hear of any). Where I may have
fallen short, they pitched in. It was a moment where I knew there was much respect
for me. It wasn’t an “aha” moment, but it provided insight that they can be and
are self-directed learners. I’m not sure
if they would do that for every teacher.
