The article I read this week was really inspiring to me. I have always felt like not many of the teachers cared about their students until after reading this article written by a teacher who really showed his emotions and stressed his feelings about how he feels about his students. Thanks to him I have changed my perspective view about some teachers, but no matter what some still will never care. Being a high school student tends to get very stressful especially as you began to start your senior year, so it is always nice to know that the teachers care about us and want us to succeed in life. I definitely agree that we should be taught more everyday life skills in school instead of the pointless math, spanish, and other curriculums that we will never use after high school, i mean unless you are going to be living in a foreign country or something.
Honestly, why should teachers worry themselves like crazy about students who do not care enough about themselves to try to do their work and be successful in school. If they think not doing their work or even trying matters then let them be failures and worry about the students that do care and try. I always try to push myself to do the very best I can do in school with my work, but sometimes I do tend to give up to easy. School is very stressful and there are times I could use some encouragement to pick myself back up and continue to keep trying.
As the article said “Life will let you die alone, depressed, and poor if you can’t man or woman up enough to deal with hardship” (Mielke 2). This could not of been said any better, If one can’t own up to his or her mistakes and be able to continue to try harder to be successful than you’re going to live a miserable life without anything to show for.
