teacher
All about teachers and the world of teaching; teachers sharing their best and worst interactions with students, best teaching practices, the path to becoming a teacher, and more.
The Circus Of Life
I felt transported…out of my 'row house, wrong side of the tracks' neighborhood and into a world I had never seen before, never knew was possible…completely and utterly out of my life and into that of “Charlie’s Aunt” …a play at Heinz Hall in Pittsburgh. One of the girls from the ‘right side of the tracks’ invited me. Her gramma lived at the retirement home where I went with my momma when she volunteered to do hair and nails.…I would sing for them….they would clap and fuss (and put a few coins in my pocket, kinda like Vocal, but not virtual :)…I was hooked.

Dirt and Sunshine
I grew up in a home of seven, nestled in the rolling hills and cornfields of the American northeast. While other girls played Barbies and dress-up, I found myself outside in a creek, scooping clay out of a bank. A nerdy, freckled girl with big glasses, covered in dirt and sunshine, I found my passion. To others, it was mud. To me, it was endless possibilities.

A Passion for Breaking Down Barriers
You are only able to read this because you understand English. Perhaps, like me, you were born into an English-speaking family and grew up surrounded by your mother tongue. You think in English. And perhaps also, like me, you have largely taken for granted your natural, easy ability to speak what has become the most economically important and useful language of our time around the world.

Adlerian
Finally, the conclusion to my graduate paper 'Adlerian Counseling', and I bet you readers are probably glad to see the end. I hope you have learned a little on how to be an Adlerian counselor or even social worker. I am thinking of writing a few more counseling theory articles and I hope we can all learn from them.

Why we need teachers in this era?
Students after some basic knowledge starts questioning themselves that is there a need for teachers when the internet is filled with lots of knowledge that can help them to grow. Many of us undertsands that if a student is weak and has no direction schools and teachers are the best resources which can help them to grow. Teachers are great in primary section as they know that students are in their growing period where they themselves have no idea what is right or wrong. Teachers help them to grow. Parents have all the trusts on teachers and the school faculties but when it comes to college all have seen what can be done right as students have freedom to choose. They can differentiate between right or wrong by gaining knowledge.

Through the Eyes of the Educator
Allow me to first preface and contextualize what I want to say. Truth without love isn’t truth. It is simply bludgeoning people with facts. I am an African-American educator who has educated minds on both sides of the world. This educator loves the people in his community and comes from a place of love and understanding, an because I come from a place of love, I must tenderly tell you the truth. The last leg of my educational career has been in the lower-income sociological environment that we politely call the inner city. With that said, allow me to get to my point. As an educator, I spend more time during the weekday with people’s children than they do. As an educator, I see the effects of parents’ aptitude and relationship with their children. They say the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, and in my experience, it takes a considerable amount of force to blow that apple from the periphery of the tree which bore it. My aim is never to judge but one can always judge a tree by its fruit. I fear to tell the truth because I know that it is fruitless and disrespectful to tell anyone how to raise their child—but I’m afraid we aren’t doing right by these kids.

Higher Education Screwed Me Over. Twice. Here’s What I Learned.
Here’s the story of how higher education, aka Academia, aka the Degree Mill, screwed me over twice. The lessons I took away are simple. The predictions I’ll be making are obvious. The insights I’ve gained, I could have told you before this all happened. So am I a better, wiser person after all of this? Hell no. Just tireder, and poorer, and ready to vent about it for your reading pleasure.

The worst teacher I ever came across
I have no hesitation in nominating for this honour - Mr Starkey. We had the misfortune of encountering each other between 1959 and 1963, so he is long since dead and therefore unlikely to be offended by what follows, however well deserved it might be.
