Reply #20: Another day, another bash. [View All]

It's not just the GOP controlled media. DU, except for the ed forum, posts more negative threads about teachers than they do positive.

Is that a natural result of exposure to all that teacher-bashing?

Anyway, thanks for pointing this out.

Here's a few positive words:

I had not one, but two separate visits from former students after school today. They will be seniors next year.

They drop by to check in a few times a year and let me know how they're doing. Sometimes they ask for advice about college, career, etc..

Today one wanted to ask me about possible places to publish a narrative she wrote.

I'm not the only teacher I know who has former students coming back to visit. Apparently, we leave a better impression with our students than the media or the general public wants to know. ;)
