For all I know, you could be a flaming witch to the kids when they come in without their homework done, and my kid knows this, so melts down because he/she knows it's big trouble when the erroneous worksheet could not be completed nor understood.  Amazing how you put these errors onto the kids, as in, well, I made a mistake and don't really care how it affects my students. Glad you have such a caring demeanor.[/quote]

Well, I usually don't make mistakes on any worksheets I send home with kids.   And I would never want a child to be stressed out about homework.  It's just homework!   I also don't want kids to be stressed out about tests.  I do in fact have to make my ESOL students take tests that they cannot possibly pass.   Every year I have beginner ESOL students who cannot read or write a word of English, who have to sit and pretend to take the test of English Language Proficiency.   Somehow, they all manage to get through it just fine, with laughs and "oh wells" and even some peppermints, treats like stickers, pencils and extra recess.

We can help develop kids' resiliency through modeling how we approach difficult or challenging situations. [/quote]

What YOU do personally is not what's in question here. YOU might not make mistakes, but other teachers do. And some here are saying it is not their job to look over or correct those worksheets because they didn't create them. [/quote]
