Nobody can make you feel inferior without your consent. Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind. Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened.

Teacher's Panel

Listening to the returning students, now teachers, was about what I expected it to be. They're all experiencing something that they were prepared for, but with a few "curve balls" thrown in. They each have an opinion on how prepared they were for teaching in general, but it also proves that you are never prepared enough. There are always going to be those complications that you don't expect until you experience it. Even as a more advanced teacher, you're going to see situations that are new or different. But, that is where you are adaptable. You work with the changes which could lead to a beneficial outcome for both the teacher and the students.

  1. Don't you think it would have been useful if they had described how they dealt with the curve balls?

  2. Yeah, for their specific problems, they figured out how to deal with those issues. I suppose I was speaking in general. You never know what to expect, so you don't know how to deal with them until after the fact.
