What took me by surprise is the lengths that some students will go get what they want at any cost. I understand that we are in an industry that is not only training but also socializing the next generations of adults. But the degree that some children are practicing the art of manipulation at such a young age is mind blowing.
Yes, some will. But students will also surprise you by how genuine and caring they truly are. I had a student last week that realized that I was not having a good day and asked if she could give me a hug. She came to me the next day and said that she hope my day got better. Remember that some kids are being raised and others are raising themselves. Nonetheless, we get the best there is to offer. In other words, parents send their best to us.
ReplyDeleteStudents will surprise you of the things they will do and yes a lot of students are raising themselves , you will be amazed of how many are, which is very sad seeing that these are the kids that will be taking care of us when we get old but there are still some that are really caring. I see it every day when I'm at school some expressing genuine love and concern and those that are reaching out for help that really have not had any guidance and need our help in teaching and guiding them.
