Classrooms without the glamour
It's that time of year again. School. the dreaded word can send the deepest chills
up your spine. Sitting in a stuffy classroom. With other kids who have no clue who you are
as you try to fade away into the background. Teachers who give sarcastic remarks to
genuine questions. And those students in the classrooms that act like know it alls. We are
all different. theres no doubt about that. but when did this start giving teachers and students
the right to make others feel lower than dirt. Shouldn't we be empowering the generations
of today as we are the ones that are going to make a difference. to know that there are
students struggling and to afraid to ask for help because they don't want to get teased. they
don't want to be ridiculed. Is that what the classroom has come too? Also for the teacher
to allow this behavior in the class room. doesn't make them any better than the rest of them
does it not bother them that someone cant ask for help for the fear of being bullied. As
a teacher its their duty to create a safe learning enviorment. to have knowledge of that
is the knowledge that they have failed not only their duty but that student. as a mentor
and as their teacher. wether you're the jock, the teachers pet, the curious one, the one
that always needs everything to be explained twice, the snob in the back of the classroom
the cheerleader, the emo kid, the punk rock kid the labels are there.
wether we like it or not
classroom bullying will always happen.
the labels will always be there
and the situation will always be the same just different faces each year. but teachers
should rise above. should protect those who need to be protected. to be able to stand up
for those who can't defend themselves. self pride should fill a teacher as helping a student
but that never happens now a days. cowards. that is what society has created. students
with too much power and teachers to lineant and allowing kids to have the power. Who
is really in control in a classroom nowadays. the teacher or the bully?
