Today's was just an average morning drive on the freeway when my attention was captured by a bumper sticker on the car ahead of me. There were many bumper stickers (all positive, Earth protecting, socially aware, the stuff we feel good about) on the back of this car, but there was one, strategically placed in the middle, just under the license plate. That sticker read, "Teachers Are My Heroes".
I know this doesn't have anything to do with classroom management/ discipline, or maybe it does. It just seemed overwhelmingly important to talk about. So what types of students think heroic thoughts about teachers? In the end, maybe the most challenged ones reflect on us and see us as their heroes. I would have driven up next to that car with all of the bumper stickers and rolled down my window and risked being perceived as a manic stalker and asked the driver about his motivation for purchasing and posting that sticker, but that wouldn't have been responsible driving.
That's it for now, super heroes!

So where do you teach, Professor Seeman, and what did you get your degree in, if you don't mind me asking?
ReplyDeleteDo you work for that organization that you keep on posting comments about? Or perhaps you wrote the books that you keep on referencing?
I must be honest though, it is kind of annoying for you to keep on commenting about the same thing. It's as if you don't have anything else to say. Please advise on your disposition.

My son told me I was his hero when he was in 5th grade. Well, I was right after Ms Lyles because she told all her current students to tell everyone on campus she was the meanest teacher ever so they would be afraid. He said she was the funniest and funnest(is that a word?) teacher ever. So, even as the Mom, I got trumped by a teacher.
