There's a story you need to tellCan you ever go back to teaching (not that I would)? Not the way I quit.
And those kids will eat the snowflakes for breakfast. Won't be hard. Behold the future leaders.I know, I know....a simple article about students not being able to read an analog clock was causing them stress. Its a symptom of a larger problem. That problem being we are not preparing our young people for the realities of life. We are too concerned about how they feel about themselves. We too concerned with their self-esteem, we are protecting them too much. They're being sold a bullshit message of "if you can dream it, you can do it."
That's not reality. That's not life, you either sink or swim. There are parents out there who are teaching their kids what lies ahead. "Life is tough, and you best be prepared to fight for what you want, and to grab hold with both hands and not let go." They are teaching their kids to be resilient, that you are going to fall, and you need to pick yourself up and carry on. That's a message more and more kids are not getting. I pity them. It's not their fault for the way they are, it's ours. More specifically, their parents and their school's administration.
