��� ��� ��� Last night I was looking over the lesson plans and thought oh it is not too bad.� We have a relatively easy day.� Of course things never go that way.� It was not hard per say but tiring, okay exhausting.� I am not too sure what happened in the day to cause this as there was nothing major in the lesson plans.� I will never underestimate a day being easy again.� It is interesting as I always comment the days flying by so quickly.� But I realized it is so fast I cannot even remember what I did during the day, so I am clueless as to what happened the rest of the week.
����������� S came in having practiced her book and passed.� Good job to her and her dad, letrsquo;s keep up the good work. I hope� I came to school this morning and saw this little boy that I knew from somewhere.� He looked so sad.� His mom said he recognized me right when I walked in.� I said ldquo;What was your name again?rdquo; and mom said ldquo;my namerdquo; and stupid me said ldquo;no hisrdquo;.� I should have also asked her name too but I was too focused on him, boy I did not even realize how rude I was.� He was from Mrs. Grsquo;s kindergarten class and just moved. I have not seen them in a few weeks.� I love when students see and recognize me.� I feel like I actually made a difference whether or not it was academic.� I tried to calm him down and it just started out my day well when I saw him smile.�
����������� R was saying she noticed that I talk about caring a lot when discussing teaching, which I do.� There are many things in my philosophy but what is most important to me is genuinely caring about every child.� I like how Harry Wong put it ldquo;I choose to carerdquo;.� Professor D brought up benevolence and I agree with that.� I just never had the words to express myself.� Personally, I believe that teaching is caring and seeing the good in every child no matter who they are.� I see teachers who pick and choose who they prefer and do not prefer.� I know we are all human and I too often fall in that box, but some people act in ways that goes too far.� Ms. W was complaining about one student and put down one of her students.� He had not done well on a test and had to redo it but got 100.� Rather, than praising him and nicely reminding him to do well the first time, she reprimanded him and brought him down from feeling positive.� She said well if you had done it the first time you would have been 5th in class and gotten a treat but no you had to redo it, so you do not get anything.� She was so harsh and told us she would smack him if she could.� My question would be why did you get into teaching?�
����������� After seeing the special education class I know I do not have ldquo;itrdquo;, but I see myself having the tendency to fall in love with the ones many teachers have labeled as ldquo;oh no him/herrdquo; students.� I do not see myself teaching an SDC class, rather I want to catch and nurture those that are I suppose lost in the general education classroom.� I know I have the desire to help them but whether I have the ability we will have to wait and see.� This quarter I find myself questioning myself more philosophically.� Why am I teaching and what does it mean to me?� Better yet if you did take the time to read this crazy long entry, why are you really teaching and what does it mean to you?
