[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The ones who open up a bit - I don't need the whole life story, but I hear a little about their friends and family and home life. It helps me who they are as people, and what their goals are. I am not in a private school, and college is not an option for some of my students, so understanding what is realistically next for them helps me prepare them for what's next.

I like the ones who pop in to chat during off times, the ones who come in to tell me they passed a test in another class. The ones who are cold and grumpy are hard to get to know, and harder to teach, and less enjoyable to work with.[/quote]

Glad my kids didn’t have you as a teacher. This is very closed minded. Some kids, like mine, are introverts who are actually lovely, funny, people, but who don’t warm easily. Their best teachers were those who took the time and cared enough to get to know them, and make them feel comfortable in their classes. Their worst were like you - teachers who assumed they were “cold and grumpy” for no apparent reason, and who made it clear who the favorite personalities were in class. Thanks for making it harder for kids like mine. [/quote]
