Anyone surprised at the animosity shown towards kids by teachers or ex

teachers?

 

Shouldn't be.

well, picture the following, if you will:

 

you become a teacher because you want to make a difference in the world.

you love children, and you decide you want to teach in inner-city schools,

because that is where you feel good teachers are needed most. you are a 5'0 " ,

103-lb white woman who doesn't look much older than the kids she's teaching.

you are in charge of a class of 35-40 inner-city children. most of these kids

have parents who are either on drugs, in rehab, in jail, or some combination

of the three, and the majority of these parents simply do not care. the LAST

priority for these children is school, and most of them are pretty skilled in

making fairly sophisticated weapons out of paperclips and pencils. for the

next eight hours, you are to be mother, father, police officer, psychiatrist,

mediator, bouncer, and teacher to these children. you are able to make

somewhat of a difference for perhaps one of these children. you can't stop

thinking about how there are 39 other kids in that class who you could do

nothing

for.

 

you go home crying every night.

 

animosity? i think not.
