The Heart of a Teacher

Cried after class again... upset that I had upset a couple of my students.
It was after a group quiz on mean, mode, and median.
The 2 students felt that the judging was unfair: one called me a racist.
It upset me that these kids don't really know what they are saying.
They are not rebellious kids, actually very nice kids, but were so upset and involved in what they perceived as biased judging that they were actually tearing.

I was upset, because I realised that I could have done the lesson properly and more thoroughly.
I don't know why but the lesson worked perfectly well with my other class, but with this class, things always seem to go wrong.

I felt slightly unappreciated because my goal was really to make the lesson more fun and interesting. I am always seeking ways to improve myself, and yet the lesson ended sourly.

yah.

I know i'm not perfect. I will press on.
I know that Daddy will help me and that I will learn from this.
I thank Him for being patient with me.

May next year be a good teaching year...
