teaching is a hard and frustrating job...few jobs require so much of a person. when you actually care about the kids you are teaching - you truly examine their character. but i think this is something deeper than her words... it is about the privacy this woman is not entitled to because she is a teacher. it has been decided by the supreme court that Americans are entitled to privacy... when i hear stories about employers using something they witnessed on facebook against people in the work place, i wonder how much this invades privacy. if i have a facebook - it is set to private, i add no students and no co-workers to my facebook and i use it to converse with my closest friends in a candid manner - should that be allowed to be dragged out into the public and used against me? even if i use no specific names of any students...even if it is a private space... with new technology should come a new look at ethics. if this woman has this perception of her students - perhaps she is just like the majority of young teachers who leave the profession, and maybe she should quit teaching. i think she is tapping into something more severe - there is a flaw in the education system as a whole... i just think she gave a candid observation of her students, and expects and wants more than they are willing to give. perhaps she is a great teacher who refuses to accept mediocre effort...and mediocre is acceptable so long as it is not failing. if she thinks her students are lazy....maybe they are. maybe they need a mentor to tell them they are lazy and to try to inspire them to do more....... maybe her comments are a reaction to her failed attempts to inspire them to not be lazy.
