Overall Class Reflection:
The conversations between classmates was surprisingly wonderful. It seemed we all had different points of view that were supportive to the positions we stood on and the potential for improvement. However, it seemed though that as teachers their eyes have not been opened to see the contributions they can make themselves and the role models not only to students, but their colleagues. It is mind boggling to me that as parents, their expectations of their own child's experience hasn't guided them on providing the best of all students. I was very concerned and had to bite my tongue on the comments about kids that only want to be killers if they are given a choice of what to do in their lives. What is even sadder is the comments were being made from someone with minimal years of teaching experience. Then even sadder is they already know they are cynical but haven't made the choice to find a different career that is a better fit.
I think overall the book that we read and the lessons discussed left a lasting impression on alternatives to promote student successes.
Thank you.
