This is how homework sounds when done at Midnight

This last summer in my English 311 class I wrote a paper on how permissive parenting can affect a child and through research I came to the conclusion that the way that I child is raised effects how they grow up and act in many different aspects of their life, school being one of them. When reading my research proposal my teacher asked what this had to do with being a teacher, how it affected the classroom, and my response was simply that to understand why a child acts the way they do, its important to see where they are coming from.
In chapter seven there are examples of students coming from different households, backgrounds, and parents which affects each student and is reflected in their actions. Every teacher will have students like this, there are no exceptions, if you are a teacher, you will have students who cause trouble or are just plain trouble and you need to understand why and how to be able to help the child grow and progress. A good quote to keep in mind when thinking about how to act with the students who seem to be troublesome was said by Russell M. Nelson about tolerance. “We must recognize at the outset that there is a difference between tolerance and tolerate. Your gracious tolerance for an individual does not grant him or her license to do wrong, nor does your tolerance obligate you to tolerate his or her misdeed.” It really is shared there about handling a student who acts out, we must be patient with them and help them understand what they are doing is wrong, but cannot just let it slide by that they are misbehaving. Really something like this has to be thought about by the teacher on how to handle. Everyone can have a different and correct way to deal with a student.
“The most important characteristic students looked for in their teachers was “caring”. Students evaluated their teachers’ level of caring by the time they dedicated to their students, their patience, how well they prepared their classes, and how they, made class interesting”. The book sated that in chapter eight when it talked about Teachers, School, and Caring. It is my belief that we as teachers need to have a good strong relationship with our students. They trust us, as long as they believe they can. We really are judged. I knew what teachers I could and couldn’t talk to, what rooms I felt more comfortable in, the classes I enjoyed going too. As the student trusts us and knows they are safe, the parents will as well trust. I cannot fully explain it in my words but rather let Russell M. Nelson close out my thoughts with one short quote that really says it all about parent teacher relationship. “Parental love includes gratitude for service extended to any of their children, especially in their time of need.
