What is your philosophy? I have talked with even the very best of teachers who fall into the "kids do well if they wanna" trap. It is so easy to think this way, especially if we have kids standing in front of us telling us they "DON'T WANT TO DO WELL" or they "DON'T CARE." Sound familiar? I'm a firm believer that there's more to the story. There's more to all of this behavior we see on the outside. Kids need us to not give up. They need us to advocate and care and love and support. They need us not to judge. They just need us.
