This post also comes on the heels of a really hurtful and insulting comment about teachers, which was made to me by a stranger today. That's probably for another blog post, but it really fueled me to write this post today. I am excited to learn alongside you this year!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04357662487055371789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1112388529171918339.post-16245617486501733952013-08-05T21:52:42.703-04:002013-08-05T21:52:42.703-04:00Much deeper/different angle than my post. Capturi...Much deeper/different angle than my post. Capturing the compassionate part of education - the part that drew me to this field - providing children with not just the education the deserve, but the love that many of them never get. I've always been amazed at how much more there is to elementary education outside of teaching. I was so much the sponge (and still am) for instructional knowledge, but now I emerse myself also in trying to understand poverty, the larger educational political world, and a multitude of other facets. That's for sharing your story! Looking forward to hearing more!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01994253764370200003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1112388529171918339.post-73732334545904335532013-08-05T19:10:08.230-04:002013-08-05T19:10:08.230-04:00Nice post, glad I could be a part of this.

In many ways the very nature of educating our students is making them more compassionate, more tolerant, more caring and considerate. By helping them better understand the world and other people around them, we in turn are teaching them to be compassionate and caring. We can do character lessons, which have their place and are fine to do, but if we are really doing our jobs students will naturally have these feelings because they understand the world better. jfasioehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16882646127626834626noreply@blogger.com
