The other students and I are like:
When students won’t join in on the activity I’ve planned
class
When being a teacher isn’t just about teaching curriculum
When a student grasps onto me in heaving sobs because I’m the only supportive person in their life:
When my class is more out of control than normal
When a student is upset their phone battery died
When we rally together to fight for the best education for our youth
When teachers focus on the true goal of motivating youth
When our students protest government cuts to education
When the government says youth will build resiliency by overcrowding classrooms and forcing them to earn eLearning credits from private non-teaching companies
When I have to meet with a student multiple times to discuss new strategies for the same issues
When it’s Meme Day and teachers try their best
