this articel was interesting again. once again it makes me think about how my classroom might be and the challenges of being a teacher that lie ahead. in a perfect world a teahcer might be expected to teach 2+2 = 4 anbd the students learn it and everything is perfect. but there more that that. much more. how can a taecher begin to teach if a student or students have bigger problems in their life than 2+2. the student could come from a broken home that doesnt provide for a healthy living environment for teh student which can cause they student to act out. being a teacher in this situation can be very tricky. the teacher has to get over so many other obsticles that just the lesson plan. it is important for teachers to foster the growth of students not only in education them but helping them with certain situations that they are going through and give them support and an outlet through education.
