I’m thinking that perhaps part of the reason conservatives are upset with liberal teachers is because we failed them. We did not do a good enough job showing them that life is change. Once we stop growing, learning, and changing, we might as well put our feet up and pile six feet of dirt on top of us.
There is now, and now is different than the past as well as the future. Helping student adjust to the fact that there are few true constants in life, and more importantly how to live a happy and productive life despite – or perhaps because of – that is one of the key things teachers should be focusing on.
