621. Ready for that atmosphere?



One day teacher of English B said to teacher of English A, “I saw you were beat. Crystal clear. Last day’s class seemed a failure to you. You found you couldn’t manage the class. All you did in the class seemed not having a good response from your students, and the atmosphere became tense.


You did your best however. Good job, man.


Some days are ok and some others look bad. Don’t care too much. The students’ behavior, or otherwise their struggle to go into work don’t depend on you, coming to head. Their conduct last day is not your fault.


This doesn’t imply you can help and bolster their work and motivation, and you’re contributing to their education as human persons. You kow all this as well as I do.


Something proper you did that day was not to give a verdict upon the class, but wait for the next day to analyze the situation. That way you felt less like at a loss.


Your students expect coherence from you, honesty from you, struggling from you to improve as a professional, and you’re gaining their respect and prestige through this way.


Human nature, your students’ human nature looks for goodness, and like goodness.


Besides you’re gaining experience with those sometimes terrible classes. Sláinte!” [This latter word is Irish: means kind of “Cheers!”; still sometimes said]. / Photo from: elojodepst blogspot com
