I think you handled yourself very well and remains caring toward your student and respected a teacher that outside the classroom would not get my respect. One of the hardest things with teacher isn't working with students and writing lesson plan. Thats what we sign up for, however the real work is maintaining a work relationship with people who have different approaches than ourselves. You sound like a caring, and understanding new teacher. DON'T LOSE THAT! These children are our future and need teachers like you to help them. Best wishes. I know that feeling all too well.

All children have a set of special "needs" and if anyone should be aware of that, it should be the veteran teachers. You have to remember; a veteran teacher does not make a good teacher...compassion and understanding do. Your students may talk a bit but at least they are participating and enthusiastic. They would not be children if they were not loud once in a while! Good Luck! You can build up childrens’ esteem all school year only to have one moment of ignorance rip it to shreds.

I hear you. Well put, and I feel your pain as another second year teacher. I once had an "experienced" teachers interrupt my instruction of ELL's in their classrooms, (I push-in),to say that the use of pictures to assist ELL's in comprehending vocabulary was "for babies". Nice comment. Sounds like you have everything under control! Good luck. I'm suspecting it'll get easier. -Jen.. Oh yeah. I hear you. Well put, and I feel your pain as another second year teacher.

Ms. Gina does not sound like a veteran; she sounds like a "burn-out" and she really should do those children a favor and either retire or get another job; one that does not involve young lives to be influenced. Underprivileged children experience enough negativity in their lives; they should at least be able to find their classroom a place of refuge from all the hardships they are made to endure outside it. And it is easy to see that is something you fully and inherently understand; a real quality in a teacher/ educator!! Thank goodness good people like you can still play a major part in young lives where you are so very needed. Clearly you are more than a teacher; you are an educator ~~ and that is so much more.
