This morning as I was reading through my Twitter feed, I found an poster that another teacher had retweeted. Once I got to school I turned it into the screen saver on my computer. It is a great reminder for me and I find myself constantly forgetting this simple truth.
It is easy to respond with anger and frustration, but I need to remember that students often have adult sized problems without the mental ability/life experience to appropriately deal with them. Frustration is easy, but our students need more empathy (this does not mean we have to be soft.)
What is the one quote that is the best reminder for you as a teacher? Thank you for reading.
