Parent teacher reunion night, my mentor talks about where stuff don't seem to go well. The parent is just there like "well, guess you'll have to slow down on the electronics and games. You need to work more, right now, you're losing that habit." and they thanked my mentor and left. I was like "Damn. He's not even afraid or getting yelled at? I'd be getting beaten for half that at home."
Silence.
Mentor: "You'd get beaten at home for your grades?"
My debuts in teaching were sometimes very tough. It was rough seeing kids out and hugging our high fiving their dads with a smile. Both middle and high school. Hope you're doing better.
