A Great Opportunity for Losers

Maybe this teacher was just trying to train the young lady for the BK job.

    Why would they advertise for losers? That is a horrible sign.

    They were advertising for "closers" but the "c" fell off

    The teacher needs to rethink his comments on students' papers.

    All kidding aside, it is time we quit enabling 'losers' and expect them to carry their own weight in this world.

    'Losers' are usually too busy making up excuses to take advantage of any opportunity. They thrive on 'whining'.

    Keetha,

    Before I would judge any teacher's comment, I would want to know the entire history of this student-teacher relationship. We also know nothing about the mother-daughter realtionship.

    Perhaps this teacher was the most positive force in this child's life. And he was trying to change not only the direction of this student but perhaps the direction of the student's family.

    As a teacher, I went and read the article. I didn't see anything there to justify calling a student a "loser." I know all about trying to motivate students to perform to their ability even when they don't think they do have ability. I can't think of a single scenario where calling them a "loser" would help or be appropriate.

    Once we write something on a student's paper - - - it is there - - - embedded in their self-image forever.

    So, I stand by my original comment - - - only I'll make it stronger to include myself - - - WE teachers need to think very carefully about what we write on students' papers, and how we write it.

    That goes for our spoken words to them too.

    And our attitudes.

    It isn't an easy job - - - being a teacher - - -

    Don't judge another until you've walked in their shoes for a mile.

    Another teacher.

    I've learned to be very skeptical of anything I read or hear, especially when so many seem to have a hidden agenda. I only believe half of what I actually see with my own eyes.

    Just what is a reliable source?

    Only those involved know the actual truth.

    Of course, this blog is the rare exception -- you can believe everything you read here :)

    Info is only as good as your sources. That is why I like to check with 'my reliable source, God,' before making decisions based on what man has said or written.

    Too many read an article and 'jump on the bandwagon' before they stop and consider the source.

If This Is Not A Place. . .

If this is not a place where tears are understood, Then where shall I go to cry? And if this is not a place where my spirit can take wings, Then where shall I go to fly? I don't need another place for trying to impress you With just how good and virtuous I am. I don't need another place for always being on top of things; Everybody knows that it's a sham. I don't need another place for always wearing smiles, Even when it's not the way I feel. I don't need another place to mouth the same old platitudes; Everybody knows that it's not real. So if this is not a place where my questions can be asked, Then where shall I go to seek? And if this is not a place where my heart cry can be heard, Where, tell me where, shall I go to speak? So if this is not a place where tears are understood, Where shall I go, where shall I go to fly? -- Ken Medema
