I hate watching them be frustrated and then feel like they re dumb. I work too hard helping them feel good about themselves. Mrs. Green looked surprised by Elaine s question. Everyone talks about the scores. Those reactions influence how they view themselves as learners.
Teachers really worry about that.
My guess is that everyone did a little of what I did this morning to help the kids. Mrs. Green shook her head. Today is Timmy s birthday. I m going to pick up his cake and some supplies for the family party tonight. See you after lunch.
