[quote=Anonymous]Teachers are people. We are expected to put on a show every day, all day, minus our lunch break. There are times that this is very difficult, like on the anniversary of a loved ones death or birth. We never have the option of just putting our head down and getting through the day. This teacher is giving her students the opportunity to see her as a human being, in a very vulnerable way. This is how they build empathy. I still remember a teacher of mine sharing that she’d been diagnosed with cancer, and feeling a shift in my perspective. It’s important to be real with kids. [/quote]
