Learning Challenge: I wish my teacher knew

What Kids Wish Their Teachers Knew

I found this article to be pretty sad to be honest. Its funny how most of us treat school as just something we have to do and get it over with but a lot of people feel that school is escape from their lives at home. I think that this is a good exercise as a teacher and should be practiced at least through middle school. I think that teachers should be more understanding of people's home lives and that accommodations should be made sometimes as long as people aren't making excuses for themselves. I personally have never done anything like this exercise but I know that many people would love to express themselves anonymously. I think this would be a good way for teacher to show compassion to students without knowing who to show compassion to so that way everything is fair. You never know what people are going through in their lives so it is important to always be compassionate to everyone around you in my opinion. 

I chose this picture based on the note one kid left about not having pencils at home. This note made me pretty sad. I found this image on Pixabay.
