Kids I find easy to like- talkative, positive attitudes, respectful
Kids I find it hard to like- disrespectful, mean
Kids I feel sorry for- live in poverty, disabilities, forgotten about
Kids I feel threatened by- Use of language, gang affiliation
Kids I identify with- hard working, easy to get along with
Kids I gravitate towards- the students that need extra help, or seem confused about the subject content
Kids I feel inadequate around- Can spell and their use of language that is superior to mine
Kids I don’t even notice- non- talkers, sit in the back behind students.

I am the same way with the kids I don't notice. So how do we teach these kids? How do we build relationships with them when we have a hard time even noticing them? I think that it might just take a little bit of extra effort to reach out to these kids.
ReplyDeleteI agree that some of your greatest challenges might be with the students who don't really stand out. My sister in law is an excellent writer for television and has tremendous difficulty spelling. Maybe it is a gene...Good to have sensitivity to all the different students you describe! It is easy to react to people in ways that we might not realize...
