Why I'm grateful to be a teacher in this generation
We teachers are very tempted to employ the “back in my day, we did things differently” tactic with our students. Student zoning out in class? Tough, because back in my day you either paid attention or you missed out. Didn’t know what the homework was? Too bad, because back in my day you picked up the phone and called someone to find out. Embedded within these old-school responses are morsels of wisdom, which ideally can be transmitted to our students with love and patience. B
