When you are a teacher, you have both good days and bad days. There will be days where the teacher feels overwhelmed. A teacher must show students that they care, but at the same time need to be cautious of becoming too close to students. When a student is doing poorly, a teacher should have a discussion with the student. There could be other factors involved in their poor grade and the teacher may actually be able to help the student. It is okay for a teacher to make a mistake and it is definitely appropriate for a teacher to apologize when something goes wrong. Students will skip school and possibly drop out when they are feeling discouraged as well.
My freshman year of high school was a tough year. I had moved for the fourth time and switched schools for the third time. At first my grades were okay, but then they began to slowly get worse. Teachers did not bother to talk to me about this and they knew that I was “the new kid”! I resented a lot of my teachers for this because I obviously was going through a difficult time in my life and no one seemed to notice or care. I know being pestered is annoying, but I would have felt a little better if someone had at least asked me how I was feeling. I skipped school a lot, too. Luckily, I have great parents and they helped me through those tough times, but I worry about all of those kids out there who do not have wonderful parents. Who is helping them?
