3 Quotes on the Reading
"Don't be afraid to say you disagree."
This stood out to me because it showed how optimistic teachers would tell the students to be. They encouraged creative thinking and thinking outside of the norm. They did this subconsciously developing an adult who will think outside of the box. This also stood out to me because this is how my dad taught me how to be and how I should take on the world. He would always tell me to think about the other side of every decision that I ever make and always imagine 5 different ways to do one thing because this way you can become more creative and handle every situation differently and successfully. This makes me feel like the teacher truly cares about the student and wants him/her to be the bet they can be and establish their own legacy. They show the influence of turning that student into a innovative creative tycoon.
"I want to make sure you understand what you're doing-so you get it right."
This stood out to me because this is how my teachers taught me. They would teach me to understand what I am doing but I still always had to follow the rules and what the teacher said. My teachers would always say this to me anyway. To learn so that I could underhand and not memorize. This makes me feel like the teachers of middle class students care about what the student learns but still has that influence of turning that student into a career driven robot.
"You're confusing yourselves."
This stood out to me because it showed how much the teacher cared about the student in a power class education system. It showed that she blamed it on the student for not understanding the concept. I experienced this when I was in high school with teachers making it seem as if I'm the one who should automatically understand. This makes me pretty angry to be honest. I see how the teacher has the influence to turn the student into a single skilled follower driven to pursue odd jobs.
